Popular Japanese songs among men in their 60s: Recommended masterpieces and classics (41–50)
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Speaking of Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, I think he’s most popular among men in their 60s.
In fact, many of his fans seem to be from that generation, don’t they? His signature song “Kanpai” has a fairly narrow vocal range of mid1 D to mid2 G.
The tempo is relaxed as well, making it relatively easy to aim for a high score.
However, because low notes appear frequently, a certain degree of depth and low-end is required.
For men with higher voices to make it sound appealing, it’s best if they can produce a natural shout at the highest notes.
Popular Japanese songs among men in their 60s: recommended classics and standard tracks (51–60)
Smiling Backkyandīzu
This is a song by Candies, an idol trio consisting of Ran-chan, Miki-chan, and Sue-chan.
Released in 1978 before their breakup, it was effectively their final single.
Their bubbly vocals still sound adorable even today.
Which member were you a fan of?
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.
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.
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.
ultra soulB’z
This is a hard rock number by B’z that powerfully expresses a soul’s cry to keep pushing the limits.
The lyrics, which portray facing oneself and chasing dreams, brilliantly capture the doubts and inner struggles we all encounter at life’s crossroads.
Takahiro Matsumoto’s dynamic guitar and Koshi Inaba’s soaring vocals blend perfectly, injecting a strong surge of energy into the listener’s heart.
Released in March 2001, it was chosen as the official theme song for the FINA World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka that same year.
Also included on the album “GREEN” and performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, this track gives a boost to anyone striving in their work or life.
It’s the perfect cheer song to belt out with close friends when you get together.
