NO.NEW YORKBOØWY
A signature rock number from the 1982 album “MORAL,” later re-recorded as the B-side to the single “BAD FEELING.” Its driving rhythm and Kyosuke Himuro’s shouts are the main attractions, making it a staple that recreates the heat of youth.
The overall vocal range is D#3–A4, which should be comfortable for many male singers.
Since it’s a band-oriented track, locking into the rhythm makes it fun to sing.
As long as you don’t lag behind the tempo, a slightly rough delivery will still land stylishly.
There are call-and-response shout sections mid-song, so getting the crowd involved is part of the fun!
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
Released in July 1993, this was Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single.
It was also the theme song for the sequel to the drama that became a hot topic thanks to Shiro Sano’s chilling performance as Fuyuhiko—‘Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta’—with the sequel titled ‘Dare ni mo Ienai.’ So even if you’re not a Yuming fan, many of you have probably heard this song.
The orchestral hit right before the chorus strongly evokes the sound trends of the era when it was released.
As is true of all the songs introduced in this theme, this one doesn’t require an extremely wide vocal range.
The melody is designed so anyone can sing it without strain, so if you just make sure not to lag behind the slightly bouncy rhythm, even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to pull it off nicely.

Blue airmailArai Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya is a great female singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
She once performed under the name Yumi Arai.
Among the many masterpieces she has created, there are songs that are easy for anyone to sing.
One such song is Aoi Air Mail.
It’s a wistful piece themed around a letter from a lover far away, and it’s a classic with a relaxed tempo throughout.
There aren’t many high parts either, so it should be easy to sing even for those with lower voices.
TANGO NOIRNakamori Akina
Among women in their 50s—especially those in their late 50s—many may have admired Akina Nakamori.
With her sultry low voice and captivating performances, she was so stunning that even women couldn’t help but be enthralled.
Of her songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “TANGO NOIR.” Since it’s composed in a lower range, there’s no strain from belting high notes.
If you’re a woman in your 50s with a low voice, definitely give it a try.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
Princess Princess released their seventh single in April 1989.
The band had been gradually gaining recognition up to this release, but this song broke into the Oricon Top 10 and became the catalyst for Princess Princess’s big breakthrough.
Many women in their 50s may have covered and performed this song at high school or university festivals.
It’s a song from the era that rode the band-boom wave, so plenty of people will be familiar with it in that way.
For karaoke, the melody itself doesn’t have a wide range and is very easy to sing, but try to keep it light and make sure you don’t lag behind the slightly bouncy beat.
Love Won’t Stop ~Turn it Into Love~Wink
Released in November 1988, this is Wink’s third single and a cover of Kylie Minogue.
With a slightly wistful melody over a lively beat, the song has a style very appealing to Japanese listeners, and together with an arrangement that evokes the bubble era when it was a hit, it carries a certain sense of nostalgia.
The track itself features a medium-tempo, straight-ahead dance beat, and since it doesn’t require a wide vocal range, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
Duetting with a friend, like Wink, would be fun too.
For this song, a rather plain, unembellished, flat delivery may suit the character of the piece better.
From a distant townImai Miki
Miki Imai’s hidden gem “Tooi Machi Kara” (“From a Distant Town”).
Released in 2015, it remains one of her most serene and cherished masterpieces among fans.
While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it can be sung throughout in a whispery style, making it easier to perform than it sounds.
It may seem like a high-pitched song, but it doesn’t require falsetto, and the higher notes can be reached smoothly by thinning the voice.
It’s recommended for those whose natural pitch is high but who struggle with vocal power.
