Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Men in Their 50s (71–80)
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
Released in May 1987 as THE BLUE HEARTS’ major-label debut single.
It’s a very straightforward, easy-to-grasp punk (beat punk) song, so even people who aren’t confident singers should have no problem enjoying it at karaoke.
Plus, if you’re in your 50s as of 2020, you likely experienced the late-’80s “Ika-ten” band boom, so this should be a very familiar track for you.
Back then, it was one of those songs that amateur bands would always cover at events.
Forget the theory and just have a blast getting into the groove!
I don't want to let go.T-BOLAN
Released in December 1991 as T-BOLAN’s second single.
In addition to being the ending theme for TV Asahi’s ‘’92 Paris–Le Cup,’ it landed several other tie-ins and became a massive hit.
With a relaxed tempo that gently nestles close to the listener’s heart, the song’s straightforward lyrics are sure to resonate with anyone.
The melody is easy to remember, and there don’t seem to be any sections forced into high notes, so anyone can belt out the chorus with confidence.
Written and composed by Arashi Moritomo, this classic once sent countless fans into a frenzy, yet it still feels timeless today and is a perfect pick for karaoke.
It’s ideal for setting the mood with someone special or enjoying a nostalgic moment.
Look back on the past while savoring a richly flavored sound that hasn’t faded with time.
Young BloodsMotoharu Sano
When it comes to musicians particularly admired by men in their 50s, wouldn’t Motoharu Sano be at the top of the list? Many men in their 50s were surely moved in their youth by Sano’s unwavering musical style.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Young Bloods.
While it incorporates elements of rock, it also features aspects of Black music, such as funk and soul.
Because it’s somewhat groovy, it does require a good sense of rhythm, but the vocal line has few long sustained notes and is arranged so that a slightly rough delivery still works, making it a relatively easy song to sing.
Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (81–90)
My chest hurts.Ukadan
Yukadan, who have led Japan’s blues scene with their distinctive vocal style and versatile musicianship.
Among their many classics, this is the track I recommend to men in their 50s.
It’s a superb ballad where lyrics about a bittersweet love and a wistful, melancholic melody blend beautifully, and it’s included on their 1989 album “BIG TOWN, SMALL HANDS.” Because most of the song sits in the mid-range, it should be very easy to sing even for those not confident in their vocal power.
If you want to project age-appropriate gravitas at karaoke, give this one a try.
Among the seasonsChiharu Matsuyama
This was Chiharu Matsuyama’s fifth single overall, released in August 1978.
I remember that when the song first came out, Matsuyama refused to appear on TV music programs, so even though it was a hit, there were few chances to hear it on television.
If I recall correctly, he appeared on The Best Ten only once under the condition that it would be “just once,” didn’t he? As for the song itself, since Matsuyama is a singer with very strong vocal technique and expressive power, he delivers the high notes—like the chorus melody—so smoothly and beautifully that many people might wonder, “Is this really easy to sing?” However, the actual vocal melody doesn’t use a very wide range; it’s quite simple, easy to sing, and easy to remember.
So even if you’re not confident with high notes, you should be able to sing it comfortably by adjusting the key.
When you sing it, make a clear contrast between the opening section with just acoustic guitar and vocals and the sections after the rhythm comes in, emphasizing the dynamics accordingly.
My Dear EllieSouthern All Stars
This is Southern All Stars’ third single, originally released in March 1979.
The song was used in the final installment of the TBS drama series “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi,” titled “Fuzoroi no Ringo-tachi IV,” which led to its re-release in 1997.
It’s another undisputed Showa-era ballad—a masterpiece among Southern’s ballads! The vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember, so even people who don’t usually sing can probably hum along and enjoy it at karaoke.
Doing a Kuwata-style impersonation while singing could be fun too!
Monochrome VenusSatoshi Ikeda
Ikeda Satoshi’s debut single can be considered one of the songs that symbolize the J-pop scene of the 1980s.
Its urbane, stylish melody carries an AOR-like flavor, and the uplifting choral work in the chorus is particularly striking.
Once it aired as a song for the Suzuki Alto commercial, it quickly caught on and even ranked on “The Best Ten.” His collaboration with Asami Kobayashi also became a hot topic.
Although the overall feel is smooth and refreshing, the vocal line is simple and the range is not wide, making it very easy to sing.
