Must-See for People in Their 40s: Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs That Get the Crowd Going | Timeless Classics Everyone Can Enjoy (11–20)
Until My Babe-kun falls asleepSha ran Q
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.
POISON ~A world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Sorimachi Takashi
Takashi Sorimachi has not only been active as an actor but also as a singer.
Many women in their 40s have likely been captivated by his allure.
Speaking of his signature songs, it has to be “POISON ~I can’t even say what I want to say in a world like this~.” The track gained nationwide popularity, partly because it was used as the theme song for the hit drama GTO.
While the song features a lot of low notes, its range is quite narrow at mid1 B to mid2 E, so there’s plenty of room to raise the key.
If you sing it in the right key, there’s nothing particularly difficult about it, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Longing, poignancy, and strength of heartShinohara Ryoko with t.komuro
Ryoko Shinohara’s classic song “Itoshisa to Setsunasa to Kokorozuyosa to.” Since it was composed by Tetsuya Komuro, you can feel that distinctive Komuro sound throughout the track.
For men in their 40s, it likely stands out as the theme song for the legendary game Street Fighter.
The song features expansive, soaring vocals, but the overall range—mid2B to hiD—isn’t particularly wide, so it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
There’s no use of falsetto, and the melody is fairly simple, so as long as you set the key appropriately, you should be able to sing it without issue.
excuseSha ran Q
One of Sharam Q’s biggest hit singles and a signature song.
Its lyrics portray the miscommunication and lingering feelings in romance with both humor and poignancy, resonating strongly with young people at the time.
Singing Sharam Q at karaoke inevitably gets everyone hyped! Tsunku’s distinctive slightly nasal tone really sets the mood.
If you’re not used to a nasal delivery, it can throw off your pitch, so I recommend not overthinking it and projecting your voice firmly.
Especially in the chorus, singing out strongly adds contrast and makes the song sound cooler overall!
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
One of The Blue Hearts’ signature songs, and the kind you can just scream and have fun with—whether live or at karaoke! For the quiet intro, sing carefully and with feeling, then for the chorus don’t worry about pitch—just belt it out and it’ll always get everyone hyped! Momentum is important, of course, but if you just shout recklessly you’ll hurt your throat, so focus on engaging your vocal cords and resonating in your chest.
Even just placing a hand on your chest while you sing helps you feel the resonance and hear your own voice better! You might get caught up in the intensity, but don’t forget to breathe—and enjoy singing!
Give me a ShakeMAX
Give me a Shake, a masterpiece of Japanese Eurobeat released in 1997.
It’s a famous song by MAX, needless to say, and it also incorporates elements of Black music, which were still rare in Japanese pop at the time.
Despite that, the vocal line is very easy to sing.
While the range is wide—mid1D to hiF—there are few long notes, and the melodic movement is very gentle.
The tempo also has some breathing room, so as long as you keep the groove in mind, it’s a song that will come together quite well.

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.
I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.
The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.
If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.
When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.
And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!
