Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (171–180)
Muen-zakaMasashi Sada
Muen-zaka was the final single by Grape, the folk duo of Masashi Sada and Masami Yoshida.
The song expresses a son’s feelings toward his mother, who has endured many hardships.
Its heart-wrenching lyrics and bittersweet melody continue to be loved by many to this day.
Although the piece sits in a relatively high key that showcases Sada’s beautiful voice, the melody actually moves mostly in stepwise motion, making it surprisingly easy to sing.
Of course, you don’t need to stick to the original key—adjust it to suit your own voice.
This song is quintessentially Masashi Sada in the way it conveys love for family, so try singing it while thinking of your own loved ones.
The Land of ‘Good Job’ (Otsukaresama)Kazuyoshi Saito
In the midst of our busy social lives with work and more, “Otsukaresama desu” has become a phrase we say almost without thinking.
This gently moving message song touches the hearts behind those words—please give it a listen.
Otsukaresama no Kuni was released in 2008 as the 35th single.
It was used in a commercial for Arinamin, so many of you may find it familiar.
The steadfast vocals and warm melody feel like they envelop your whole body.
I believe it’s a song that gives you the strength to face tomorrow.
Try singing it to cheer yourself up.
being teased; being pranked; being tampered withKeisuke Kuwata
This song, strongly influenced by classic kayōkyoku to match the program’s concept, was unveiled as a new track on the show “Gratitude for the Great Kayōkyoku: Songs of Tokyo,” featuring Keisuke Kuwata.
Its playful spirit shines through in the sound and lyrics, sprinkled with touches that evoke kayōkyoku and suspense dramas.
With a gentle rhythm and minimal melodic leaps, it’s a piece you can sing in a relaxed manner.
The lyrics, depicting a romantic scene tinged with mystery, are another highlight—so be sure to sing it with an emphasis on mood.
Catharsis of youthHiromi Go
Precisely because you love someone, you can’t show your true self in front of them… This song portrays the difficulty of such delicate emotions.
Released in 1980 as the 36th single, “Wakasa no Catharsis” was used as an insert song in the drama “Mrs.
, Me, and Señor!” Its slightly ennui-laden mood pairs perfectly with Hiromi Go’s wistful vocals.
It’s cool yet heartbreaking—a work with a strikingly dual appeal.
Since the highest notes are quite low, even men who aren’t confident with high tones should find it easy to try.
There's always tomorrowUlfuls
The original song was released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Ulfuls.
The melody of this song is quintessential Showa-era kayōkyoku—simple and easy to sing, the kind anyone can hum along to.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should be fine choosing it at karaoke! Sing it bright and cheerfully!

CAFE BLEUKeisuke Kuwata
It’s a song that conveys a refreshing atmosphere, as if you’re gazing at the scenery from a café terrace.
It was featured as the commercial song for Morinaga Milk Industry’s “Mount Rainier Double,” starring Keisuke Kuwata.
The light, acoustic guitar-centered sound evokes a vast yet gentle seascape.
The lyrics, depicting a love story at a seaside café terrace, are memorable, and the tender emotions come through directly.
