Many of you might feel a bit bewildered by how rapidly music has diversified compared to when we were younger.

Even if you don’t know the bands favored by younger people, you may still enjoy bands loved by your own generation or those close in age, even on a first listen.

Here’s a ranked list of bands popular among people in their 50s.

Band Ranking Popular with People in Their 50s [2026] (41–50)

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā50rank/position

It’s a bona fide heartbreak song.

But no matter how many times you listen, it never gets old.

I think it’s an eternal classic of breakup songs.

It’s a track where everyone can dance the chorus choreography together and wash away the pain.

Even though it’s a breakup song, it still gets you hyped.

TULIP “Kokoro no Tabi” (Lyric Video)
Journey of the Heartchūrippu

It’s a big hit by Tulip.

The melody line is gentle and the range isn’t high, so I think it’s easy to sing! By the way, “Kokoro no Tabi” has been covered by Masaharu Fukuyama and many others, so it can be fun to look for a version you like.

Tulip’s songs have a choral feel with a relaxed tempo, and there are parts that really draw listeners in when you sing them, which I find very appealing.

Since the range is easy to sing, be careful not to strain your throat.

If you keep your eyebrows slightly raised and project your voice into the distance, your vocal cords will resonate and it will be easier to stay on pitch!

It’s a song by Magokoro Brothers that feels like looking back on summer memories.

It has been loved for a long time, inspiring the drama “SUMMER NUDE” and being used as an insert song in the drama “Moteki.” The wah guitar, percussion, and funky chorus are striking, and the lively sound, infused with elements of Black music, evokes the bustle of summer.

The seaside scenes of summer are depicted in detail, and together with the atmosphere of the sound, the rising excitement and passionate emotions come through strongly.

This is the 11th single by BARBEE BOYS, a five-member co-ed rock band that disbanded in 1992 and, after several reunions, announced a full-fledged restart in 2018.

The track was used in a commercial for Shiseido’s men’s hair product TREND·Y.

The distinctive contrast of the male–female twin vocals and a guitar riff with an equally commanding presence really catch the ear.

The whirlwind, ever-shifting melody—made possible by the twin vocals—is guaranteed to boost your energy while driving.

It’s a powerful rock tune that’s sure to bring back memories of youth for those in their 50s.

This is the fourth digital single by the three-woman rock band SARD UNDERGROUND, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TOKYO MX drama “Sono Kekkon, Shouki Desu ka?” (Are You Sane to Marry?).

The vocal melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it a tune many people can casually hum along to.

Throughout the song, singing lightly and without tension is the key to making it sound good, so please give it a try.
