I miss youBEGIN92rank/position
BEGIN’s classic song “Koishikute.” It’s packed with the essence of the blues, with a pervasive sense of melancholy throughout.
The key reason it’s easy to sing is, above all, the tempo.
Although it’s very slow, it doesn’t rely heavily on long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control can sing it without issue.
Also, because it’s rooted in the blues, mistakes can often be turned into stylistic variations, which makes it an easy song to perform in that sense as well.
WILLNakajima Mika93rank/position
A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own life by will.
Beginning with memories of gazing up at the night sky, it powerfully speaks of a resolve for the future while looking back on the path taken.
Her pure, delicate vocals carry a touch of sorrow yet give you the courage to face forward—an outstanding track.
Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astrometry.” Created by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s a song best sung at an easy pace, engraving precious memories and resolve in your heart.
Don’t avert your eyes.DEEN94rank/position
This is DEEN’s fifth single in total, released in June 1994.
With lyrics by Izumi Sakai from ZARD and production by Tetsuro Oda—an iconic hit-making duo of the time—it became a million-selling hit.
It’s truly one of the masterpieces from J-pop’s golden era! The vocal melody is crafted to be very simple, easy to remember, and easy to sing, so most people should be able to sing it in the original key without needing to change it.
The tempo is medium, making it comfortable for anyone to sing.
Just be aware that the key goes up in the final chorus when you actually perform it.
youKōda Kumi95rank/position
The song “you,” crafted as a ballad centered on vocals and piano, was released in 2005 and is known as one of Kumi Koda’s finest ballads.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 E to hi B.
The pitch movement is gentle, and at 77 BPM the tempo is very relaxed.
While that makes it harder to hide imperfections, overall it’s a very singable song.
Be sure to check it out.
PearlTHE YELLOW MONKEY96rank/position
When it comes to bands most admired by men in their 40s, THE YELLOW MONKEY surely comes to mind.
Their music is captivating with a certain sensuality and wistfulness beneath a youthful vibe, and they continue to be supported by a wide range of generations today.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Pearl.
It’s an intense track, but because it has few long sustained notes and a relatively narrow vocal range, most men should be able to sing it well.
Be sure to check it out.
Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK97rank/position
This is a song by J-WALK released in 1991.
It’s a track that evokes the summer of the ’90s, with a very delicate melody line that gradually gained support.
Its beautiful melody, which makes you feel the end of summer, brings back memories of nostalgic summers.
White kiteMy Little Lover98rank/position
For women in their 40s, many probably spent their youth with My Little Lover! Speaking of My Little Lover, “Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~” was a huge hit, but “Shiroi Kite” is also a great pick for karaoke! It’s not only easy to sing, but its cute, glittering sound and refreshing melody are absolutely wonderful.
I definitely recommend singing it at summer karaoke! It’s a song that feels nostalgic yet still resonates with how we feel today.
