[For Men in Their 40s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs, Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers (11–20)
To the most important personTonneruzu
Tunnels’ classic song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the one many people think of first.
Despite its manly melody, the vocal line is surprisingly understated.
It’s especially notable for its narrow range, with every part kept in the low to low-mid register.
That range is the easiest for men in their 40s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
homeKiyama Yusaku
An inspiring ballad filled with a father’s warm love and hopes for his child’s growth has been delivered by Yusaku Kiyama.
His gentle, calm voice conveys deep affection for family, and though the storytelling is simple, it leaves a lasting resonance in listeners’ hearts.
Released in February 2008, the song was featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Uta-Star!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” and it also earned him a spot in that year’s 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
For karaoke, it’s recommended when you want to look back on family memories or express gratitude to someone important.
Enunciate clearly to deliver your feelings straight from the heart.
milk teaFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama’s 21st single overall, released in May 2006.
It was issued as a double A-side single together with “Utsukushiki Hana,” which was included on the CD at the same time, and it was used as the theme song for the TBS variety show “Koisuru Hanikami!” It’s a slow-tempo ballad where the beautiful acoustic guitar sound and Fukuyama’s mature vocals are exquisitely matched.
There aren’t any particularly tricky, technically difficult parts in terms of the vocal melody, but when singing this at karaoke, the most important thing is how you handle the spacing between phrases—how well you can sing the rests.
Cherish each and every word of the lyrics, and try singing after carefully studying the original performance.
Island SongTHE BOOM
The first release of THE BOOM’s song in the original Uchinaaguchi (Okinawan) version was in December 1992.
Since then, several versions have been released, but the one we’re introducing here is the so-called “original version,” issued in June 1993 as their 11th single.
It was a massive hit that made THE BOOM known nationwide, so chances are you’ve heard it at least once.
Just listening to it brings to mind scenes of tropical seas—a classic of Heisei-era J-POP! The slightly folk-like vocal melody is striking, giving the song a strong impact, and it’s very easy to remember and sing.
Vocalist Mr.
Miyatake’s performance also incorporates a touch of traditional folk-style singing, and exploring that aspect could be fun.
For general listeners, of course, it’s perfectly fine to enjoy performing it in a bit of an imitation style.
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
Easy Rider is a popular karaoke song that’s easy for men in their 40s to sing.
Released in 1996 as Tamio Okuda’s sixth single, it feels great to sing at karaoke.
You can relax your shoulders and sing it, and its groove and tempo are really comfortable.
It’s great for creating a laid-back vibe, so for example, when there are lots of people meeting for the first time and things feel a bit tense, singing it together can lighten the mood.
Highly recommended! Just like the title suggests, it’s a song you can “ride” easily.
Shadow of TearsNEW!Sha ran Q
Released just three months after the smash hit “Iiwake,” this is a melancholic ballad centered on the mid-to-low register, and it was featured as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP.” Rather than Tsunku♂’s high notes, its low tones are especially appealing, so it’s a song I’d love to hear from singers who excel in the lower range.
Because low notes can sound muffled and hard to hear, the key is to make them resonate clearly.
Basically, low notes naturally resonate in the chest; if you direct your voice toward your head as you sing, both your head and chest will resonate, and you’ll suddenly hear your own voice better and increase your volume.
Don’t hesitate—project your voice with confidence!

Miracle EarthNEW!Kuwata Keisuke & Mr.Children
When it comes to male duets for people in their 40s, isn’t “Kiseki no Hoshi” the first that comes to mind? Released in 1995 as a charity single for the Act Against AIDS campaign, this collaboration between two top artists of the time sold over 1.7 million copies and is characterized by the passionate vocals of Kuwata and Sakurai singing in alternation.
The lyrics and composition were by Keisuke Kuwata, and the arrangement was by Takeshi Kobayashi and Mr.
Children.
There’s also harmonizing in the chorus, making it a very satisfying song to sing.
Interestingly, it became a topic of discussion that Sakurai’s singing at the beginning imitates Kuwata’s style.
Since the backing track isn’t surprisingly intense, as long as the two vocalists project their voices solidly, it should turn into a powerful performance!
