Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (141–150)

Song of DepartureTsunehiko Kamijo & Rokumonsen

Rokumonsen is a music unit formed around Hitoshi Komuro.

The masterpiece they released together with Tsunehiko Kamijō is this “Departure Song.” Centered on the theme of a journey into space, it’s a highly message-driven work that conveys nostalgia for lost days and a firm resolve for a new beginning.

Since its 1971 release, it has been highly acclaimed in many circles, with wide-ranging influence including inclusion in school textbooks.

The song begins quietly and gradually builds, and its relatively narrow vocal range is a hallmark—making it easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a classic that we especially hope those in their 50s, who have witnessed many life milestones, will sing.

How many good faces?Hiromi Go

The 35th single, released in July 1980, is “How many Ii Kao.” The song portrays someone thrilled by a woman whose expressions change from moment to moment, conjuring images of a flirtatious, playful romance.

Its rhythmic groove and somewhat innocent-sounding vocals are such a perfect match.

It’s catchy, so it’s a great pick when you want to warm up the mood at karaoke.

The melodic range isn’t very wide, so try not to get thrown off by the tempo—focus on singing it steadily.

No detailed explanation is necessary for this one.

As the title makes obvious, it’s the theme song of the hugely popular Showa-era anime Space Battleship Yamato.

As of 2020, it’s unlikely that anyone in their 50s wouldn’t know this anime.

Choosing an anime song that everyone in your group knows is one of the best ways to liven up a karaoke session with friends, so I hope you’ll add this track to your setlist.

For those who want to sing it with a slightly different vibe, I’ve also included a reference link to THE ALFEE’s version—check it out!

Solitary BloomCHAGE and ASKA

It was the debut single by Chage & Aska (now CHAGE & ASKA), released in August 1979.

For those in their 50s as of 2022, this is surely one of the classic songs of the New Music era! It’s a slow-tempo ballad with a very beautiful melody, so be sure to sing each word of the lyrics and each note with great care.

When you sing it, make a clear contrast between the quiet backing in the first half and the section in the latter half where the rhythm kicks in.

If you take your time and really savor the title call at the end of each chorus, it’ll feel just right!

DO YA DOCHAGE and ASKA

Released as a lead single from the 13th album “SEE YA” and featured in a Toyota “Sprinter Carib” commercial, the 25th single “DO YA DO.” Its stylish melody and chord progression still create a pleasant atmosphere even today.

The key is high, but because the vocal range is narrow, it’s easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.

You can sing it solo, but it’s also a fun number to perform with friends thanks to the call-and-response in the chorus.

Without waiting for twilightCHAGE and ASKA

“Without Waiting for Dusk” is one of the most popular CHAGE and ASKA songs for karaoke, known for being especially easy to sing.

Its upbeat-feeling melody line meshes beautifully with the nostalgic flavor unique to the ’80s.

At the same time, it conveys a sense of heartache, skillfully weaving in the complex emotional interplay between a man and a woman.

The melody is easy to remember yet leaves listeners with a surprising, striking impression that draws them into the world of the music.

Its flexibility—working well as a duet or solo—is part of its charm.

That, in essence, is the appeal of CHAGE and ASKA’s music, and the reason this song has long been loved as a top karaoke recommendation.

It’s one of Yutaka Ozaki’s signature songs, expressing love for someone dear in a bittersweet atmosphere.

It was included on the 1983 album “Seventeen’s Map” and later released as a single in 1991.

The song has been cherished for years, appearing as an insert song in films and dramas and in numerous commercials.

Its band sound, centered on piano and steeped in melancholy, highlights the deep affection portrayed in the lyrics.

With a gentle tempo and a vocal line with gradual rises and falls, it’s easy to sing—allowing you to convey your feelings softly and tenderly.
