Recommended Japanese pop karaoke songs for men in their 60s (41–50)

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.

Premonition of Loveanzenchitai

The classic hit by Anzen Chitai, “Koi no Yokan.” While the lyrics are heartrending, the melody itself exudes a very seductive allure, and the song is considered indispensable when discussing 1980s pop ballads.

Although the piece features many low notes, the vocal line is fundamentally easy to sing.

In the last part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps up on the word “kakenukeru,” and if you find that part difficult, try pronouncing it as “kuu-kye-nukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.

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.

Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.

In fact, it spans a fairly typical range of mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK

Can't Say Anything... SummerTHE JAYWALK

J-WALK has produced many classic songs.

Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large male fanbase.

I believe many men in their 50s were fans as well.

Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so singers of any range can handle it easily as long as the key is adjusted.

However, because the song contains many long tones, you’ll need to control your volume within the stamina limits of your diaphragm.

As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.

Ruby RingTerao Akira

You probably can’t bring out the charm of this song until you’ve reached a certain age.

This is the best song for pulling off a dapper look.

It may seem monotonous, but the chorus becomes melodic, giving it a quality that never bores the listener.

It’s the kind of track you want to nail while lightly swaying your shoulders.
