[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs and Surefire Crowd-Pleasers (111–120)

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK

This is a song by J-WALK released in 1991.

It’s a track that evokes the summer of the ’90s, with a very delicate melody line that gradually gained support.

Its beautiful melody, which makes you feel the end of summer, brings back memories of nostalgic summers.

It’s love, right?wacci

I’ve been posting songs with the theme of “men with low voices,” and many of my students are “men with low voices” too! One of them has been practicing wacci’s “Koidaro.” In this song, the chorus jumps up in range to F#4, but the lowest note is a pretty low B2, which actually appears multiple times throughout.

How about first making sure you can firmly produce those easier low notes, and then try tackling the high notes with some momentum? Of course, it’s totally fine to start with falsetto instead of chest voice! If you keep singing, there will definitely be a point where it clicks, so I think it’s worth giving it a go even if it feels “a bit high.” Just don’t push yourself!

budKobukuro

Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is also a real masterpiece, so I definitely recommend singing it whether you’re solo or a duo.

Since Kobukuro is a two-person act, the vocal range is fairly wide at A#2–A#4, and Kuroda’s part is quite low, so if you’re singing as a duo, taking Kuroda’s part might be a good idea! By the way, when I sang this song I had a male partner, and I left the entire melody line to him while I stuck to the harmony! The harmonies in this song are really beautiful, so if you have a partner, I’d love for you to try the harmonies too! Overall, try to sing it with a calm vibe so it doesn’t get belted or strained.

This song has a very cool, band-like vibe! Especially the way the chorus builds—doesn’t it feel great to sing? I get the impression that SUPER BEAVER doesn’t have many songs in a high range and generally leans lower, and the vocal range for “Manazashi” is C3–A4, so it should be easy for men with lower voices to sing! SUPER BEAVER is very popular, so it seems tough to get concert tickets… They have a lot of cool songs, so adding them to your karaoke repertoire is sure to get everyone hyped!

A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.

The gentle sound of acoustic guitar and a heartfelt voice tenderly embrace a love that missed its chance and wishes that never came true, quietly conveying hidden emotions.

Kazuyoshi Saito’s warm vocals and guitar beautifully capture both nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.

Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme for Shiseido’s IN&ON commercial series.

Since February 2017, it has also been featured in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to resonate with many.

It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or when meeting old friends, steeped in fond memories.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.

This was Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.

It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and used in commercials such as Tokio Marine & Nichido Life Insurance’s “Medical Kit R: Sukima Switch ‘Kanade’ for Tokio Marine & Nichido Life” campaign, among many other tie-ins.

It’s truly one of the standout J-pop classics of the Heisei era.

If you’re a man in your 40s, chances are you’ve heard it at least once.

Musically, it’s a ballad with a very straightforward and beautiful melody, so I think anyone can hum along and sing it with ease.

Try to sing it with care, treating each word of the lyrics with importance and delivering it gently.

MiracleGReeeeN

GReeeeN, who recently changed their name to “GRe4N BOYZ” from 2024 onward, are well known as a group whose members all have careers as dentists and continue their musical activities alongside their medical work.

Since the late 2000s, they have released one hit after another on the J-pop scene, and their songs are hugely popular at karaoke.

Among them, “Kiseki,” released in 2008, is one of their signature tracks and a Heisei-era classic covered by many artists.

Its melody line is simple and easy to sing, and the vocal range is narrow, so if you’re aiming for a high score, definitely give this song a try.
