Calling all men in their 50s! Classic crowd-pleasers and easy-to-sing hits for karaoke (71–80)

BambinaTomoyasu Hotei

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – Bambina
Bambina Tomoyasu Hotei

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.

My chest hurts.Ukadan

Yūkadan – My Chest Hurts
Eikichi Yazawa and the Blues Kings

Yukadan, who have led Japan’s blues scene with their distinctive vocal style and versatile musicianship.

Among their many classics, this is the song I especially recommend for men in their 50s.

It’s a superb ballad where lyrics about a bittersweet love and a wistful melody blend beautifully, 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 if you’re not confident about your vocal power.

If you want to showcase age-appropriate sophistication at karaoke, give this one a try.

Another SaturdayShogo Hamada

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.

In fact, it spans a fairly typical range of mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.

Traveler ~The Longest JourneyBakufū Slump

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.

Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z

B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.

While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.

Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.

If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

KISS MEKyosuke Himuro

Kyosuke Himuro’s signature song “KISS ME.” It’s a rock-style track emblematic of the ’90s, featuring sharp, punchy synthesizers.

Despite that, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.

While the range is fairly wide—lowest note at mid1 C and highest at hi F—the song is primarily built around the mid2 C area, so it’s not an extremely high-pitched piece.

In fact, if you imitate Himuro’s constricted vocal style, you may find it quite manageable.

It’s a surefire hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

240 Million Eyes - Exotic JapanHiromi Go

Hiromi Go – 240 Million Eyes -Exotic Japan- / THE FIRST TAKE
240 Million Eyes - Exotic Japan by Hiromi Go

Hiromi Go’s classic “240 Million Eyes – Exotic Japan,” which frequently appears on variety shows and the like, was an exceptionally original piece for its time.

Its arrangement features a song structure that hints at kayōkyoku within J-pop.

Partly due to those kayōkyoku elements, the song is confined to a fairly narrow range of mid1D to mid2F.

Regardless of gender, it should be singable without issue if you choose an appropriate key.

Like on that certain TV show, performing it with parody lyrics can make it even more exciting, so keep that in mind as you check it out.
