Marilyn Monroe No ReturnNozaka Akiyuki
With a voice tinged with heartbreak and resignation that evokes the end of the world, this classic has been deeply etched into many listeners’ hearts.
Its weighty, socially reflective poetry blends beautifully with a chanson-like, elegant melody line, crafting a singular soundscape.
Interweaving Buddhist imagery and the changing seasons, Nosaka Akiyuki’s vocal performance is breathtaking as it quietly speaks of life’s impermanence and the cycle of rebirth.
Released by Nippon Columbia in 1971 and included on the album “Nosaka Uta Taizen I: Singing Sakurai Jun,” the song was also featured in the 1973 film “Contemporary Gangsters: The Three Blood-Cherry Brothers.” It’s a recommended piece for those seeking to touch a deeper truth of life, or to quietly reflect on their hearts on a still night.
DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.
Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.
My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi
Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.
Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.
Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?
To the most important personTonneruzu
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.
This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Setting Sail SASURAITerao Akira
Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).
It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.
There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.
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.
