Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Men in Their 50s (71–80)
The Summer Without YouDEEN
This is DEEN’s 12th single overall, released in August 1997.
It was also used as the fourth ending theme for the Nippon TV anime Detective Conan.
As you’d expect from DEEN, who scored a string of big hits in the ’90s when “being often sung at karaoke” was a key condition for a song to become a hit, this track is also crafted to be very easy to sing and remember.
To aim for a high score, you’ll likely need to study the vocalist’s subtle phrasing in detail, but there aren’t any difficult parts, so definitely give it a try.
If you place the resonance so the sound hits the upper palate inside your mouth, you can produce a voice with lots of high-order overtones—a slightly sparkling tone—similar to the original singer.
Wine Red HeartSafe zone
It was the fourth single by Anzenchitai, released in November 1983.
This is also one of the classic Showa-era songs that will go down in history.
Although they debuted in 1982, they hadn’t had a hit single yet, and this track was created through vocalist Koji Tamaki’s hard work to produce a hit.
As a result, it’s very friendly and easy to remember, with a melody that anyone can sing along to at karaoke and the like.
Have fun singing it by imitating Tamaki’s very distinctive vocal style! Just be careful not to strain your throat too much on the high notes in the chorus.
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?
And then I'm at a lossYoshiyuki Osawa
Yoshiyuki Ohsawa is a singer who made his record debut as the vocal guitarist of Cloudy Sky and has continued to work energetically after going solo.
His fifth single, “Soshite Boku wa Tohō ni Kureru,” which was featured in a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, has been covered by numerous musicians since its release.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, but the melody moves up and down in fine steps, so be careful not to lose pitch.
It’s a melancholic pop tune that would captivate listeners when sung by a man in his fifties with a rich, seasoned tone.
TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS
A powerful portrayal of relentlessly sprinting toward one’s goals, this signature work by THE BLUE HEARTS is set in the real world—not a utopia or a hell—and boldly declares that life itself has meaning even if we can’t be perfect.
Released in November 1988, this track, which lends its name to the album TRAIN-TRAIN, uses piano for the first time in the band’s history to create a sense of exhilarating momentum and reached No.
5 on the Oricon singles chart.
In 1989, it was also chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “High School Rakugaki.” For those standing at a crossroads in life, this is a song that will be a powerful ally.
When you’re torn about a decision, let it be a source of courage that gives you a push forward.
Island SongTHE BOOM
“Shima Uta” by The Boom is a smash hit that took the world by storm.
It’s no exaggeration to say that everyone knows it.
Don’t worry too much about whether you sing well or not—just belt it out.
That might be the way to overcome your fear of karaoke.
Words of FarewellKaientai
Rather than explaining that it was Kaientai’s 16th single released in November 1979, it’s quicker to say it was the theme song for the first season of the smash-hit drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B” (3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei) [laughs].
As of 2020, I think most people in their 50s probably sang this song at their elementary or junior high school graduation.
Of course, many people watched the drama as well.
It’s a song that holds personal “memories” for each listener, so try singing it with that sense of nostalgia.
The melody is very straightforward and easy to sing, too.
If I were to give one tip, I’d say you’ll probably get a better reception if you avoid imitating Tetsuya Takeda’s singing style too closely.
