Hide-and-seekYuuri
For men in their 40s who are looking for recent hit songs that are easy to sing, I recommend Yuuri’s Kakurenbo.
Yuuri originally made his major debut as the frontman of a rock band, but after the group disbanded, his street performances drew attention, and he re-debuted in 2020 as a singer-songwriter.
While he’s especially popular with Gen Z, his novel-like lyrics and carefully woven melodies resonate deeply even with listeners in their 40s.
Kakurenbo is one of his signature songs, and among Yuuri’s tracks it’s arranged in a relatively lower key.
Although the chorus does reach slightly higher notes, the overall range is narrower, making it easy to sing.
The parts sung with power carry a captivating nuance that reflects his rock background, so if you enjoy ballads, definitely give it a try.
Just by you being herekome kome CLUB
“Kimi ga Iru Dake de” is one of the signature masterpieces by Kome Kome Club that brightened the 1990s—a song almost everyone has heard at least once.
It’s not just nostalgic; its upbeat melody and widely relatable lyrics guarantee a great time in the karaoke room.
With a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy for anyone to sing, which is a big plus.
This is a song with the power to lift people up in any era, carrying a message that gives courage to those who listen.
Singing it together brings out a different kind of warmth.
Soak in the pleasant nostalgia and enjoy a powerful sense of unity at karaoke.
sonetACIDMAN
Within its grand melody, this song holds both the resolve to live boldly and a gentle tenderness.
Set against the vast nature of Hokkaido, it portrays life’s joys and sorrows through the moon and stars shining in the night sky, and the falling rain and snow.
Along the journey of chasing dreams, it leaves a deep afterglow that quietly speaks to the importance of living true to oneself.
The track was pre-released by ACIDMAN in December 2024, with the CD following in January 2025.
Chosen as the ending theme for the final episode of WOWOW’s drama “Renzoku Drama W Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc,” it is also complemented by striking footage shot on location in Hokkaido by film director Shigeaki Kubo.
When you stand at a crossroads in life or face an important decision, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.
Midnight ExpresswayFurawā Kanpanī
A youthful rock anthem brimming with momentum and emotion, painting a grand portrait of life.
Powerfully delivered by The Flower Companyz, this song radiates a warmth that lights a ray of hope in an uncertain life.
Released in September 2004 as a track on the classic album “Setagaya Yoake Mae” (Before Dawn in Setagaya), it has continued to resonate closely with many hearts.
When you stand at a crossroads, when you feel anxious about the future, and for all who are doing their best to live in the present, this is an encouraging song that will gently push you forward.
Be the soil that makes flowers bloom, rather than the flowers themselves.berii guddoman
A heartwarming message song that sings the value of those who support others and work hard behind the scenes.
Rather than glamorizing the people who shine on center stage, it brilliantly captures the spirit of those who keep supporting from the shadows.
Its lively sound—melding pop and R&B—stands out alongside a melodic progression.
Written by the three members of Beverly Goodman for broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in December 2024, the song’s powerful energy and warm vocals resonate with everyone facing life head-on.
It’s a track meant for those who worry about going unnoticed at school or work, and for those who keep dedicating themselves to someone else.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is a socially conscious masterpiece that portrays the subtle miscommunications between men and women and the nuances of emotional expression with deep insight.
It warmly observes how men open up through drinking and women through tears, each revealing their inner feelings.
Born from impressions Eigo Kawashima had at age 18 during a family memorial gathering, the song was included on the November 1975 album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released as a single in June 1976.
Also known as the jingle for the sake brand Kizakura, it became a major hit, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It is a gem I recommend to anyone who wants to face their heart honestly when confronted with life’s sorrow and poignancy.
For loveOkuda Tamio
Since debuting as UNICORN in 1987, Tamio Okuda has maintained a unique position throughout his long career, continuing to exert a tremendous influence on subsequent artists.
For many people now in their 40s who spent their youth in the 1990s, it’s likely that Okuda’s songs from around his solo debut—rather than his work with Unicorn—were the soundtrack of their adolescence.
Okuda’s milestone solo debut single, “Ai no Tame ni,” was released in 1994 and became one of his signature tracks, achieving million-seller status.
While it’s hard to capture the nuanced atmosphere that Okuda himself brings, the melody has a relatively narrow range and gentle interval leaps, making it genuinely easy to sing.
If you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
