Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (1–10)
Happy endingEiichi Ohtaki
Eiichi Ohtaki was a music producer who gained popularity for his unique style that mixed American pop with Showa-era kayōkyoku.
He was one of the artists who laid the foundation for city pop, a Japanese music genre renowned worldwide, and he also left behind several masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Shiawase na Ketsumatsu (A Happy Ending).
While the track features a soaring vocal style reminiscent of Tatsuro Yamashita, its vocal range is quite narrow and the melodic contours are gentle, making it easy to sing well regardless of your voice type.
However, because it contains many long sustained notes, you should be careful with your breathing—despite not requiring a powerful volume.
Be sure to steady your breath before each entrance and sing with that awareness.
DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.
Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.
That's important.Daiji MAN Brothers Band
It was the third single by DaijiMAN Brothers Band, released in August 1991.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Houchan no Yamada Katsutenai TV,” which served as the catalyst for its hit success.
The melody is very straightforward and simple, rhythmically there’s nothing difficult, and the lyrics are memorable and easy to understand, making the song very easy to learn.
For men in their 50s who have grown distant from singing or music in their daily lives, it’s one of the best choices to sing at karaoke.
In terms of vocal range, most men should be able to sing it in the original key.
Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Men in Their 50s (11–20)
Setting Sail SASURAIAkira Terao
Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).
It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.
There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.
Sunset SongMasahiko Kondo
As a leading idol of the Showa era, Masahiko Kondo left behind many classic songs.
While many men have little interest in male idols, I imagine quite a few men in their late 50s made an exception for this song, “Yuuyake no Uta.” This work exudes a mature, understated cool, featuring a melody with a hint of enka.
The vocal range is fairly average, but because the vocal lines embody the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, it’s very easy to sing.
POISON ~ A world where you can't even say what you want to sayTakashi Sorimachi
This is actor and singer (currently on hiatus from singing) Takashi Sorimachi’s fourth single, released in July 1998.
It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama GTO, in which Sorimachi himself starred.
With a medium-to-up tempo that’s easy for anyone to sing and groove to, the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, and the tune is very easy to remember and sing.
So it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s a must-pick when you want to aim for a high karaoke score.
It might be fun to get together with friends and hold a one-song scoring battle with this track.
Try producing your voice as if you’re aiming it toward your lower jaw inside your mouth and sing with a strong chest voice—you’ll likely get an even better vocal tone, so give it a try.
I can’t be single‑minded.Kome Kome Club
Kome Kome Club is a group that has produced many great songs with their uniquely original musical style.
Many men in their 50s probably have some of their hits in their repertoire.
One track I recommend is Hitosuji ni Narenai.
It’s a fairly orthodox pop song, and the vocal range sits comfortably in the easy-to-sing low to mid register.
It also has good dynamic contrast, so if you stay on pitch, it’s a piece that will likely leave people thinking you sing well.
