Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (81–90)
I knew it—I love you.Takajin Yashiki
This is the 13th single by Takajin Yashiki, a powerhouse singer Osaka is proud of, released in September 1986.
It’s a very memorable ballad with a lyrical melody and lyrics in Osaka dialect.
While Takajin is a singer with exceptional vocal ability and expressive power, the melody itself doesn’t cover a very wide range, making it easy for anyone to hum along.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to enjoy performing it at karaoke.
Sing it with rich emotion, pouring your feelings into it for the one you love.
I'm going to Tokyo.Ikuzo Yoshi
“We’re Going to Tokyo” is, needless to say, a famous hit by Ikuzo Yoshi.
This song doesn’t demand vocal prowess from the singer.
It’s simply funny and amusing—and it’s got a great groove.
Even if you’re not a good singer, it doesn’t matter at all.
It’s a track with that kind of mysterious charm.
At all times.Noriyuki Makihara
This was Noriyuki Makihara’s third single, released in June 1991.
It’s his biggest hit to date, having sold over two million copies, so there’s probably no one who hasn’t heard it.
The song features a very simple, approachable melody and lyrics that leave a strong impression, and its sales figures make perfect sense—it’s a great song.
While Makihara’s vocal ability is outstanding, there isn’t a single moment where he shows off his “skill,” and the song instead lets his natural, unpretentious charm shine through.
I feel it’s a piece you can casually hum without feeling like you’re “singing,” which is part of its appeal.
For those who aren’t confident singers, this is one I’d recommend selecting with that kind of easygoing approach.
Autumn Full StopAlice
Alice’s hidden gem “Akishifu” (“Autumn Stop”).
While it’s somewhat less known among the many hit numbers they’ve produced, its superb craftsmanship has kept it beloved by many fans even today.
The song is characterized by a vocal line with strong kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) elements.
Because it features many phrases close to enka, it’s an especially singable piece for men in their late 50s who experienced the transition from enka to kayōkyoku in their childhood.
Another nice point is that parts of it don’t require much vocal power.
A Tearful RequestThe Checkers
The Checkers’ classic “Namida no Request.” Many people in their early 50s probably admired The Checkers when they were young.
Among their songs, this one is especially popular, and you still often see it in karaoke history lists today.
What makes it so easy to sing is, above all, its simple vocal line.
The pitch moves very gently, and the song has a narrow range, so anyone can sing it easily.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Strawberry Statement, Once Morebang bang
Men in their 50s are a generation that has been exposed to many genres, including rock, kayōkyoku, and enka.
Among them, you could say they’re especially knowledgeable about folk music.
For men in their 50s, I particularly recommend Ichigo Hakusho o Mou Ichido (“Strawberry Statement, Once Again”).
It’s a classic by the folk duo Banban, who were hugely active in the 1970s, and it’s characterized by a deeply bittersweet folk sound.
It also has a touch of blues, with the chorus ramping up in intensity.
Even so, the vocal line remains relatively calm; while the range isn’t exactly narrow, there aren’t drastic jumps in pitch.
It’s a great choice for those who want to sing a simple song with a solid, full voice.
Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (91–100)
White LabyrinthTakao Kisugi
“Shiroi Labyrinth” is one of Takao Kisugi’s signature songs, a masterful 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 troubled.
Released 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 deeply resonates with listeners.
Though emotionally rich, the vocal line itself is simple, making it a recommended piece even for those who have difficulty reaching high notes.
