An unfinished love song I’ve been working on foreverHata Motohiro
In harmony with the world of the film “Love Letters on Our 35th Year,” Motohiro Hata delicately captures warm, nuanced emotions.
This work weaves together the love of a long-married couple and feelings that deepen day by day with a gentle yet powerful melody, beautifully expressing a form of love that grows more vibrant with time.
It will be released and made available for streaming between February and March 2025.
The limited first edition includes jacket cards featuring visuals from the film, handwritten lyric cards, and a Blu-ray containing live performance footage.
It is a song that will resonate deeply with those who hold feelings for someone dear or who struggle to put their emotions into words.
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Yasushi Nakanishi’s classic, filled with gentle yet heartrending emotion, is a ballad about parting with a lover.
The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.
The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.
Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.
In karaoke, its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range make it easy to sing calmly.
Why not sing it while carefully unfolding its story-like lyrics, together with your cherished memories?
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Yuuri originally made his major debut as the frontman of a rock band, but after the group disbanded, his street performances drew attention, and he re-debuted in 2020 as a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.
My WayDef Tech
This song passionately sings about the importance of walking your own path.
It conveys a powerful determination to keep moving toward lofty ideals while staying grounded, offering strong encouragement to listeners.
The warmly enveloping melody and its positive message blend beautifully.
Featured on the album “Def Tech,” released in January 2005, the track garnered numerous tie-ins, including a Yokohama Tires commercial song, a theme song for high school baseball, and an insert song for the film “Crows Zero II.” Def Tech’s signature Jawaiian reggae sound will be a reliable companion when you need the courage to chase your dreams or a boost to fire yourself up.
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.
MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLEV6
V6, an idol group that was hugely popular from the 1990s to the early 2000s, produced many hit songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend to men in their 40s for its singability is “MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE.” Centered on eurobeat, which was the trend at the time, the track features sharp, memorable synthesizers.
In contrast to the sound, the vocal lines are quite restrained, staying within a narrow range throughout.
It’s packed with catchy phrases that anyone can sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
The comedy duo Saruganseki, made up of Hiroiki Ariyoshi and Kazunari Moriwaki.
The song that truly cemented their then idol-like popularity is, of course, Shiroi Yuki no Yō ni (Like White Snow).
As a composition, it’s a very orthodox J-pop number with a very narrow vocal range.
Since the two aren’t professional singers, the vocal lines present no real difficulty.
It’s also a crowd-pleaser at karaoke, so be sure to check it out.
