[For men in their 40s] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs, guaranteed crowd-pleasers (181–190)

The Summer Without YouDEEN

This is DEEN’s 12th single overall, released in August 1997.

It was also used as the fourth ending theme for the Nippon TV anime Detective Conan.

As you’d expect from DEEN, who scored a string of big hits in the ’90s when “being often sung at karaoke” was a key condition for a song to become a hit, this track is also crafted to be very easy to sing and remember.

To aim for a high score, you’ll likely need to study the vocalist’s subtle phrasing in detail, but there aren’t any difficult parts, so definitely give it a try.

If you place the resonance so the sound hits the upper palate inside your mouth, you can produce a voice with lots of high-order overtones—a slightly sparkling tone—similar to the original singer.

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.

This was Mr.Children’s fifth single overall, released in June 1994.

It was also used in an Aquarius commercial and ultimately became a massive hit, selling close to two million copies.

Incidentally, it’s said to have surpassed 50 million streams on digital platforms.

The song features a very simple, impactful, and easily singable chorus melody—exactly the kind of elements that drove ’90s J-pop hits.

As a result, it’s an easy pick for anyone to sing at karaoke.

Please enjoy it casually.

GLORIAZIGGY

When it comes to easy-to-sing songs recommended for men in their 40s, ZIGGY’s “GLORIA” is surely a perfect fit.

Considered one of the band’s signature tracks, it was a major hit from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.

While the song does have a certain level of high notes, the vocal line is very singable throughout.

It leans on the higher side, but since it stays within the mid-to-high range, the overall range is relatively narrow.

If the pitch feels high, adjusting the key to suit your voice should make it absolutely singable.

rose flowerkururi

Among men in their 40s who were into Japanese rock, Quruli likely left a strong impression.

Unlike other J-rock bands, many listeners were captivated by their music, which prioritizes a distinctive worldview.

Of all Quruli’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Bara no Hana (Rose Flower).

This track is characterized by an ennui-tinged musical style, with a vocal line that’s accordingly subdued.

While it does feature a fair number of long tones, it doesn’t demand powerful projection, so you don’t need to worry too much about that.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Banzai ~I’m glad I love you~Urufuruzu

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~
Banzai ~I'm glad I love you~Urufuruzu

This song was released as Ulfuls’ 10th single and was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” With Ulfuls’ pure, straightforward lyrics and a bright, happy melody, it’s often played at weddings.

It’s also easy to sing at karaoke and is recommended for men who want to express their feelings to women.

Ketsumeishi “Tabibito”

This song by Ketsumeishi conveys a warm atmosphere as it portrays feelings toward the endless journey of life.

Drawing on a worldview inspired by wandering townsfolk, the decision to read the title “Tabibito” as “Tabiudo” is a unique touch.

You can feel a calm yet wistful mood in the sound as it reflects an introspective dialogue with one’s own heart, evoking a sense of looking back on one’s life so far.

The lyrics, which reflect on the path taken and carry hope into the future, will likely resonate especially with generations who have accumulated a wealth of experiences.
