Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer (2008 Ver.) [Music Video]
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

A timeless adult classic by Kazuyoshi Saito, celebrated for its deeply moving vocals and rich storytelling.

This exquisite ballad conveys heartfelt emotions for a loved one—feelings that are hard to say out loud—set to song with disarming honesty.

Its simple melody and resonant guitar gently enfold the lyrical world.

Since its release in November 1997, many artists have covered it, and in 2017 it was used as the theme song for the animated film “Lu Over the Wall.” In August 2022, a performance on THE FIRST TAKE drew significant attention, extending its appeal to a new generation.

With a relaxed tempo and a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing with ease.

Why not sing it with all your heart, pouring your feelings for someone special into every note?

Do whatever the hell you want.sawada kenji

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

By now—as of 2023, when I’m writing this—it’s an undisputed masterpiece of Showa-era pop for anyone in their 50s! The moment in the chorus where Sawada throws off 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.

It’s a very singable, upbeat number, so by all means try copying the choreography and have fun singing along.

The seasons change only you.BOØWY

The seasons change 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.

Radio MagicEARTHSHAKER

This is the second single by the Japanese HM/HR band EARTHSHAKER, released in September 1984.

I picked this song with a bit of my personal taste mixed in (lol).

But I bet there are quite a few people in their 50s who liked so-called “Japa-metal,” which had a bit of a boom in the ’80s.

The vocalist singing this, Marcy, has a very wide vocal range and strong singing ability, but since metal songs often have very simple melodies, many of them are surprisingly easy to sing.

This one is especially poppy and falls into the very singable category.

I’m sure some men in their 50s covered this song in bands back in their youth, so why not revisit those days and give it a try?

White LabyrinthKisugi Takao

“White Labyrinth” is one of Takao Kisugi’s signature songs, a classic ballad that delicately portrays a bittersweet love.

It likens the complexities of tangled emotions to a “white maze,” conveying a heart that loves straightforwardly even while struggling.

Included on the 1984 album LABYRINTH, the lyrics were written by his sister, Etsuko Kisugi.

Paired with a nostalgic melody that perfectly matches the song’s image, it resonates deeply with listeners.

Although the melody is emotive, the vocal line itself is simple, making it a recommended song even for those who can’t sing in a high range.

I’m going to Tokyo.Yoshi Ikuzo

“Ore-ra Tokyo sa Igu da” is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by Ikuzo Yoshi.

This song doesn’t demand vocal prowess from the singer.

It’s just plain funny and amusing—and it’s got a great groove.

Even if you sing it poorly, it doesn’t matter at all.

It’s a track with that kind of curious charm.

BambinaHotei Tomoyasu

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – Bambina
BambinaHotei Tomoyasu

Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Thanks to its performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has recently gained support from a fairly young audience as well.

While it’s an up-tempo track with a rock ’n’ roll feel, the vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s easy for singers of any voice type to handle.

If there’s one potential challenge, it would be the long sustained note at the end of the chorus.

It features the highest phrase in the song, but even then it doesn’t require a mixed voice.

As long as you focus on staying in tune, it’s a song with solid potential for scoring high marks.
