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

Speak not of lifeTakuro Yoshida

Don’t Talk About Life — Takuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida - “Don’t Speak of Life”

The song of the same name included on Takuro Yoshida’s 1974 album “Ima wa Mada Jinsei o Katarazu.” Carrying a message to young people, this track stands out with a sense of drive and an intense performance that goes beyond the literal meaning of the words, stirring the listener’s heart.

Although it has a rock flavor, its relatively narrow vocal range makes it very easy to sing—another big appeal.

For those in their 50s, it will be a nostalgic piece that brings back memories.

It’s also often performed at work socials and similar gatherings, so why not add it to your repertoire?

BIG TREECHAGE and ASKA

BIG TREECHAGE and ASKA

The song BIG TREE, included on the 14th album TREE and used in a Panasonic commercial, was created with the intention of serving as the album’s core.

Its grand, otherworldly sound and dramatic lyrics create an expansive quality that draws you into its world.

While the melody features many leaps and can make it easy to go off-pitch, the relaxed tempo makes it approachable if you sing in a key that suits you.

It’s a delicate yet powerful number, with an evocative ensemble that overwhelms the senses.

I know it’s bothersome, but…Tunnels

Now firmly established as legendary comedy entertainers and a vocal duo that has released numerous classic songs, Tunnels.

Their 11th single, “Meiwaku Deshō ga…”—also covered by Hiroshi Itsuki—is a track where you’ll want to pay attention to the spoken-word parts that evoke the TV drama “Zenryaku Ofukuro-sama.” The melody, where the distinct voices of Takaaki Ishibashi and Noritake Kinashi intertwine, perfectly suits the wistful arrangement.

It’s a lyrical ballad that belies its origins as a comic song.

Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Men in Their 50s (151–160)

Goodbye, Humanitytama

Released in May 1990, this was the debut single by the Japanese band Tama, who were the 14th “King” on the popular music show Heisei Meibutsu TV: Yuji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Tengoku (aka Ikaten), often called a gateway for young bands.

It was one of the defining hit songs of the 1990s band boom.

Many men in their 50s probably covered this song with their bands and had fun singing and playing it at school festivals, right? It’s an upbeat, comical track, so don’t overthink it—just enjoy singing it and blow off your everyday stress! It might even be fun to lean into an impression-style performance.

Dramatic RainJunichi Inagaki

Junichi Inagaki’s classic “Dramatic Rain.” This song is one of his hit numbers, released in 1982.

It features a melody that evokes the image of a city at night, a trend of the time.

While Inagaki’s songs are often known for their wide vocal range, this one is surprisingly modest in range.

Even so, it retains a sultry atmosphere, making it a great choice for those who “aren’t confident singers but want to exude an adult allure.” Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Kanpai [With Lyrics]
Cheers, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi

A song by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, it was included on the album of the same name released in September 1980.

It wasn’t released as a single right away; a re-recorded version later came out as a single in 1988.

As of May 2023, when I’m writing this, I’m 55 years old, and I still vividly remember this song playing at my junior high school graduation—tears started streaming down my face the moment it began.

I imagine many of you reading this have similar memories.

The song itself features a very gentle, straightforward melody, so I believe it’s easy for anyone to sing.

It’s a piece I hope you’ll sing along to, together with your fond memories.

So alluring it makes you faintChar

Char is a rock musician known for his overwhelming guitar technique.

While he has left behind many great songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men in their 50s to sing is Kizetsu suru hodo Nayamashii.

Notably, it was his first release that he didn’t compose himself, giving it a slightly kayōkyoku-like, catchy feel.

The vocal range is a bit on the wider side, but it’s mostly set in the low to lower-mid range, so men in their 50s should be able to sing it without any problem.
