Eikichi Yazawa’s “Nagai Kurokami,” a hallmark of Japan’s rock scene.

Its lyrics, depicting parting and a new departure, carry a passionate message that burns away sorrow against the backdrop of Spanish winds.

A standout piece that showcases his musicality and poetic expression, it is included on the album “Anytime Woman,” released on June 24, 1992.

While the end of the chorus calls for a slightly higher vocal range, the rest sits in lower to mid registers, making it an easy song to sing.

Traveler ~ The Longest Journey Bakufu Slump

Bakufu Slump has produced many classic songs and remains a band with enduring popularity even today.

Their track “Tabibito yo ~The Longest Journey~” is a comeback hit that revived their fortunes and was loved by many listeners, especially men.

While the vocal delivery has a distinctly masculine style, the song’s range sits comfortably in the mid-to-lower register, making it manageable even for men who struggle with low notes.

It’s also easy to sing even when your throat starts to get tired, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

cherrySpitz

This is the 13th single by the Japanese rock band Spitz, released in April 1996.

Although it came out during the heyday of J-pop in the ’90s, compared to songs from the ’80s and the Showa era, the melody might be a bit tricky for those who aren’t confident singers to tackle at karaoke.

That said, it’s a breezy, mid-tempo track with a shuffle beat, so there’s no need to sweat the small stuff—just enjoy it with the same upbeat spirit as the song! The key might be a little high, so please adjust it to suit your voice.

If you master mixed voice, I think many people will be able to sing it in the original key at this pitch.

The season changes only you BOØWY

BOØWY’s classic song “Kisetsu ga Kimi Dake wo Kaeru” (“The Seasons Change Only You”).

They’ve produced many hit numbers, and while this piece may be less well-known than some of their signature works, it continues to enjoy enduring popularity among many devoted fans even today.

The easiest point for singing this song is, above all, that it doesn’t require powerful vocals.

This is true of BOØWY’s music in general: while maintaining high energy, the overall volume is kept restrained.

In addition, the vocal range is narrow, so even men in their 50s should be able to sing it without difficulty.

youTakajin Yashiki

This is Takajin Yashiki’s 12th single, released in 1984.

The lyrics delicately portray deep love and the feelings of parting, conveying the speaker’s complex, inexpressible emotions.

The melody is rich in emotional nuance, making it a piece that truly resonates with listeners.

While the song is emotionally expressive, the vocal line is surprisingly simple, so it’s recommended for those who struggle with songs that have dramatic pitch fluctuations.

Although it portrays a woman’s feelings, the original is sung by a male vocalist, so the vocal range should pose little to no difficulty.

Do whatever the hell you want.Kenji Sawada

This was Kenji Sawada’s (Julie’s) 19th single, released in May 1977.

By now, as of 2023 when I’m writing this, it’s an undisputed, iconic masterpiece of Showa-era pop for anyone in their 50s! The moment in the chorus when Sawada dramatically tosses his hat was unforgettable.

I still vividly remember putting on makeup to look just like Julie and singing this song at my elementary school party.

As a song, it’s very easy to sing and has a great groove, so by all means, try copying the choreography too and have fun singing it.

Love will winKAN

KAN’s eighth single, released in September 1990.

It was originally used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Quiz Omoshiro TV,” but gained popularity after being featured as an insert song on Fuji TV’s “Hochan’s Yamada Katsutenai Television,” becoming a long-selling, major hit.

As of 2020, many people in their 50s likely remember how big a hit it was at the time.

Musically, it has an extremely simple melody, and the rhythm is basically an easy-to-follow four-on-the-floor in quarter notes, so it’s no exaggeration to say the song contains all the elements that make it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

Give it a try!
