[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs and Surefire Crowd-Pleasers (91–100)

This is Kobukuro’s 11th single, released in May 2005.

It was reportedly created as the theme song for the NTV drama “Ruri no Shima.” From the arrangement and sound of the backing track to the vocals by the two members of Kobukuro, it’s a beautiful ballad overflowing with a very gentle and soft atmosphere.

The vocal melody contains nothing flashy; it’s very straightforward and beautiful, making it extremely easy to remember and sing.

When you sing it, try to create a clear contrast between the parts that are sung powerfully—such as the chorus—and the other sections.

Bakufu Slump has produced many classic songs and remains a band with enduring popularity even today.

Their track “Tabibito yo ~The Longest Journey~” is a comeback hit that revived their fortunes and was loved by many listeners, especially men.

While the vocal delivery has a distinctly masculine style, the song’s range sits comfortably in the mid-to-lower register, making it manageable even for men who struggle with low notes.

It’s also easy to sing even when your throat starts to get tired, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sharan Q is a band that gained popularity for its original musicality, combining the essence of kayōkyoku with rock.

They’re well-regarded for their ballads, and among them, “My Babe Kimi ga Nemuru made” is especially recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal range is quite narrow, from mid1 C# to mid2 G#.

They frequently use a technique called ‘hiccup’ at the start of each phrase, so mastering this will quickly elevate the overall quality.

Give it a try for reference.

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

It’s one of MONGOL800’s signature songs, but it has never been released as a single and is included on the band’s second indie album, “MESSAGE.” By the way, despite being an indie release, this album sold over 2.8 million copies! It’s an up-tempo, super catchy rock number, and you don’t need any complicated explanations to enjoy singing it.

Everyone, just belt it out however you like and have fun!

This song truly lives up to its title, “Twilight.” Many adult men will probably be jolted by memories of their youth.

It’s a hidden gem I wish listeners of all generations would discover, where Hiroto Kōmoto’s distinctive lyrics and heartfelt delivery color scenes from those younger days.

It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing along together.

JAMTHE YELLOW MONKEY

Speaking of popular rock bands from the ’90s, you can’t leave out THE YELLOW MONKEY.

Their song “JAM,” which combines the intensity characteristic of a band sound with the poignancy of a ballad, is well-loved and also known as the ending theme of NHK’s music program Pop Jam.

Since it’s in 3/4 time, singing it with a bouncy, swinging feel should make it sound really cool!

This is one of the classic Heisei-era J-pop songs that virtually everyone—young and old—has heard at least once.

A cover of this track is currently being used in a certain commercial, so I think it will go over well at karaoke with friends, family, or coworkers.

The same singer’s breakup song “I Won’t Fall in Love Again” was also a major hit, but this one is easier to relate to, and both the melody and lyrics are excellent.

It’s especially recommended for men in their 40s, as it’s right in their generation.
