[For men in their 40s] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs and guaranteed crowd-pleasers (131–140)

WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You Gotta Make a MovementH Jungle with T

WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes Start a Movement~ (Two Million Mix)
WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You Gotta Make a MovementH Jungle with T

H Jungle with t is a musical unit by Masatoshi Hamada of Downtown and Tetsuya Komuro.

The unit was born from the popular TV show “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP,” and their track “WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You’ve Gotta Make a Move~” became explosively popular.

Classified in the genre known as jungle, this work is arranged with a reggae flavor throughout.

Although it features some somewhat loud sections, the overall vocal range isn’t wide, making it easy to sing and perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.

The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu

Not only did they score hits on variety shows, but the comedy duo Tunnels were also blessed with hit songs.

They’ve produced many hit numbers over the years, and among them, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing is “Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru” (“Here Comes the Rattlesnake”).

It’s essentially a comic song aimed mainly at elementary and middle school students, yet the vocal line surprisingly comes together in a funky, cool way.

The overall range is quite narrow, so men of any voice type should be able to sing it.

Make-up ShadowInoue Yosui

When you think of Yosui Inoue, you might picture him as being more popular with people in their 50s and older rather than those in their 40s.

Surprisingly, though, he had many hits in the ’90s, so he actually enjoys popularity among some in their 40s as well.

A hidden gem by Yosui Inoue that I’d like to recommend is “Make-up Shadow.” The vocal line is sharp and cool, yet the range is narrow and there are no falsetto parts, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

If you like music with a strong Showa-era vibe, be sure to check it out.

Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

People in their early 40s belong to a generation for whom laid-back, Unicorn-style rock was trendy, while those in their late 40s grew up exposed to more masculine rock as well.

Many of you may even have listened to Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s songs.

With that in mind, I recommend “Junrenka.” This piece incorporates some folk elements and is arranged primarily in the lower-mid to mid vocal range throughout.

Although a slightly higher phrase appears toward the end of the chorus, it still sits around the mid-high range, so you should hardly encounter any issues from a vocal production standpoint.

Pockets full of rainbowsYellow Magic Orchestra

Yellow Magic Orchestra is a music group recognized worldwide.

Needless to say, they are the pioneers who laid the foundation for Japanese techno.

They have many classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend is Pocket ni Niji ga Ippai (Pockets Full of Rainbows).

As you might expect from a group with strong instrumental roots, even though this piece has many vocal parts, the vocals themselves are very understated.

There are no complex vocal lines, and the range is extremely narrow, making it an excellent song in terms of singability.

Don’t worry be happyMONGOL800

This is a party tune from a band that kept racking up hits—not just in Okinawa, but across the indie scene, even setting new records.

The lyrics are easy to grasp, the catchy sound is instantly familiar, and it’s the kind of song you want to sing with everyone, fists in the air.

It would absolutely light up a second round at a drinking party.

bulbTHE YELLOW MONKEY

THE YELLOW MONKEY is a rock band that continues to thrive at the forefront of the scene even today.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but among them, “Kyūkon” is especially popular.

This track is a song where their worldview explodes, characterized by emotionally rich vocals.

It might seem difficult at first.

However, the vocal line in this piece is surprisingly simple, with a relatively narrow range.

Because the melodic rises and falls are gentle, it’s easy to keep your pitch steady.
