Galaxy Express 999Godaigo96rank/position
Just hearing the intro to “Galaxy Express 999” is enough to make many people feel a rush of nostalgia, isn’t it? This song is Godiego’s 11th single, released in 1979.
It was the theme song for the smash-hit animated film Galaxy Express 999 that was released the same year.
For men in their 50s, it’s a spot-on nostalgic hit! And thanks to its upbeat, fast-paced melody, it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser at karaoke—even for generations who haven’t heard it before.
Get WildTM NETWORK97rank/position
Released in 1987 as their tenth single, this song is one of TM NETWORK’s signature tracks.
It was also used as the ending theme for the anime City Hunter.
The cool sound and melody line evoke the image of Ryo Saeba strolling through the city at night.
Many people may know it from the numerous cover versions and remixes released by well-known artists.
True to the music unit led by Tetsuya Komuro, it’s a sophisticated piece—why not sing it together and get the crowd going?
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto98rank/position
This was Mayo Okamoto’s debut single, released on May 10, 1995.
It was the theme song for the TBS drama “Second Chance,” and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart in its eighth week on the chart.
Notably, this single remains her only No.
1 on that chart.
If you’re in your 50s, chances are you’ve heard this song at least once.
The mid-1990s, when this song was released, was truly the golden age of J-pop, a time when million-selling hits were coming one after another from various labels and artists.
One factor considered crucial back then for aiming at a million-seller was “being easy to sing at karaoke.” This song is no exception; starting with its chorus, it features melodies that are very easy to sing and remember, making it a comfortable choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.
The vocal range used in the melody isn’t very wide either, so don’t be afraid—give it a try!
Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo99rank/position
Shogo Hamada’s debut single, released in April 1976.
Since then, several remade versions have been released.
If you’re in your 50s, you’ve probably heard it at least once—it’s a classic of Showa-era Japan! I still clearly remember how deeply I connected with the lyrics when I first heard the song.
The vocal melody is very easy to remember and sing, so I hope you’ll enjoy singing it along with memories of your younger days!
No-sideMatsutōya Yumi100rank/position
Written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya, arranged by Masataka Matsutoya, the song was first released as a track on Reimy’s album “REIMY,” and later included as a self-cover on Yumi Matsutoya’s original album “NO SIDE.” For reference, it was released in December 1984.
At the time of its release, it attracted attention for being a song themed around rugby.
Musically, it’s medium-slow in tempo and the melodic range isn’t very wide, so as long as you set a key that suits your own voice when singing it at karaoke, it’s likely a song that almost anyone can sing without difficulty.
Try to sing it while cherishing each word of the lyrics, and be careful not to let the rhythm rush ahead.
