Karaoke Songs Men in Their 40s Should Sing | A Curated Selection of Hit Tracks Women Want to Hear! (71–80)

to youMONGOL800

Among people in their 40s, those in the early half may be more familiar with Japanese rock.

In particular, I think many were fans of MONGOL800.

With that in mind, I recommend their song “Anata ni.” The vocal range for this track is quite narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.

While mid1 D is slightly low and doesn’t leave much room to lower the key, men with naturally low voices will likely find the original key comfortably singable, so it shouldn’t be a major issue.

The pitch stays fairly consistent, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sharan Q is a band that gained popularity for its original musicality, combining the essence of kayōkyoku with rock.

They’re well-regarded for their ballads, and among them, “My Babe Kimi ga Nemuru made” is especially recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal range is quite narrow, from mid1 C# to mid2 G#.

They frequently use a technique called ‘hiccup’ at the start of each phrase, so mastering this will quickly elevate the overall quality.

Give it a try for reference.

cherrysupittsu

A timeless classic that never fades with age, Spitz’s “Cherry” is a song filled with warmth, woven from its heartwarming melody and Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals.

A highlight of the Heisei-era J-pop scene, the track has maintained strong popularity since its 1996 release and remains a karaoke staple beloved by many fans.

Its catchy, easy-to-sing melody lets you sink into nostalgia while enjoying it in your own style.

It’s highly recommended both for those who love ’90s music and for anyone who hasn’t discovered this song yet.

Masaharu Fukuyama is a singer-songwriter who enjoys immense popularity both as a musician and an actor, and whose funny personality also captivates fans.

His 12th single “Heart,” released as a double A-side with “you,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama Meguriai (Fateful Encounter).

Its refreshing melody, tinged with a sense of melancholy, further enhances the lyrics that evoke love.

With its relatively low key, it’s an easy karaoke pick—especially recommended for those in their 40s.

Led by Kj, the mixture rock band Dragon Ash released their second single “Hi wa Mata Nobori Kurikaesu” in 1998.

Many men in their 40s might remember how this song gave them strength back then.

It’s a classic with satisfying Japanese rap set to a repeating rhythm.

Why not sing it at karaoke while reminiscing about your youth? The relaxed melody and modest vocal range make it easy to sing.

When you’re unsure what to choose, this song is a sure bet!

One song that amplifies the excitement when it comes on during a drive is “Driver’s High.” This track by L’Arc~en~Ciel grabs you with its dynamic beat and HYDE’s passionate vocals.

It opens with the sound of a car engine, leading into a distinctive intro that instantly cranks up the energy.

At karaoke, this song is guaranteed to get the crowd going.

It’s highly recommended to belt it out like you’re the protagonist of a story.

B-BlueBOØWY

Among men in their early 50s, many likely listened to BOØWY.

The band left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “B-Blue.” While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.

It’s a song you can comfortably handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
