Recommended Japanese pop karaoke songs for men in their 60s (41–50)
Dramatic RainInagaki Junichi
Junichi Inagaki is a male singer with a distinctive and memorable vocal tone.
Known for his unique musical style that blends city pop and AOR into Japanese kayōkyoku, he has produced many classic songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Dramatic Rain.
With a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 D# to hi A and a gently undulating vocal line, it should be manageable for men in their 60s who are accustomed to kayōkyoku melodies.
Be sure to check it out.
Goodbye DayKisugi Takao
Takao Kisugi is one of the composers who defined the 1980s.
He wrote numerous classic songs such as “Silhouette Romance” and “Slow Motion,” and for a time he was also active as a singer-songwriter.
Among Kisugi’s many works, the one I especially recommend is “Goodbye Day.” It’s a piece where his signature ‘Kisugi style’ is in full bloom, but on top of that, it has a smooth finish and a very singable vocal line with a narrow range.
There are plenty of long tones, but the melodic contours are very gentle, so a man in his 50s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Composed for a friend’s wedding and released as the title track of the third album, “Kanpai.” In addition to the original version, its inclusion in elementary school music textbooks and the many cover versions by various artists have made it a signature song loved by listeners across generations.
With a very relaxed tempo and a simple melody, anyone can sing it comfortably by setting it to a key that suits their voice.
It’s a heartwarming number that will get everyone excited when sung together at karaoke after an event.
I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA
The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.
Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.
Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.
Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Legend of DreamsSutādasuto☆Rebyū
Since Stardust Revue’s Mr.
Kaname Nemoto has a wide vocal range and a high voice, men in their 50s—even if they’re fans of his generation—may tend to avoid singing his songs.
That’s why I recommend Yume Densetsu.
In this song, the lowest note is mid1 F# and the highest is high B.
While it’s on the higher side overall, the low range is narrow, so the overall range required is about average.
In other words, as long as you can adjust the key, it’s quite singable.
It may still feel a bit high, but the vocal line itself is simple, making it a song with solid potential for a high score.
In the night sky after the rainImawano Kiyoshirō
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
My chest hurts.Yūkadan
When talking about the blues scene in Osaka, you can’t avoid mentioning the band YUKADAN.
Their vocalist, Atsuki Kimura, is known as having an “angelic raspy voice”—literally raspy, yet warm and gently embracing in its tone.
Their hit number Mune ga Itai (“My Heart Hurts”) showcases exactly that.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, but emulating Kimura’s powerful rasp is extremely difficult.
Aiming for a high score is easier if you focus on accurate pitch and sing in a way that suits your own voice.
