[50s] Karaoke Songs That Get the Crowd Going Ranking [2026] (31–40)

Ah, heartlessAn Ruisu36rank/position

Ann Lewis is a rock singer whose raw vocals earned her strong support not only from women but also from men.

She has many classic songs, but in particular, “Aa Mujō” really showcases her rough, gritty voice.

The vocal range is slightly broad for an Ann Lewis song at about mid1 G to hi C, but compared with typical songs, it’s actually on the narrower side.

However, because the song is characterized by shout-style singing, it has a distinctive difficulty that’s different from a standard hi C.

Even so, the vocal line’s contour is relatively gentle for rock, so overall it’s a song that’s fairly easy to sing.

It’s fantastic for getting the crowd excited, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Yellow Magic Orchestra, a group that gained popularity with their innovative electronic music.

This song, “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun,” was composed from the perspective of the members—who were providing hit numbers to idols at the time—thinking, “If we can keep churning out idol hits, then in theory we could also become popular as ‘middle-aged idols.’” As a result, it’s crafted with a catchy, somewhat cute melody.

With a narrow vocal range and a relatively even vocal line, it’s also a very easy song to sing.
