[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.

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.

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.

Yura Yura Teikoku is a band that earned overwhelming support from hardcore music enthusiasts for their sophisticated musicality.

For anyone who loves Japanese rock, you simply can’t talk about the genre without mentioning them.

Among their many great songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 40s as an easy one to sing is Zukku ni Rock.

It might sound a bit intense, but the vocal range isn’t that wide.

Even if you sing it a bit rough, it still sounds right—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

TSUNAMISazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars – TSUNAMI MV

Among men in their 40s, I bet many have this as their go-to karaoke song.

It’s one of Southern All Stars’ signature tracks.

Released in 2000 as their 44th single, it became a huge hit.

This song is often covered, and while Keisuke Kuwata’s vocal style is iconic, when singing it at karaoke, performing it in your own way may be more appealing to listeners.

Of course, if you’re confident in your skills and have really mastered it, showcasing that is totally fine too.

Wonderful Daysyunikōn

Unicorn’s classic song “Subarashii Hibi.” Unicorn has many great tracks, but this one—known as one of their biggest hits—boasts exceptional singability.

There are three reasons it’s so easy to sing: first, the vocal range is narrow; second, the pitch movements are gentle; and third, it doesn’t demand much vocal power.

There aren’t many songs that check all three boxes, so it’s fair to call this a very easy song to sing.

It’s even suitable for third-round karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
