Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Men in Their 50s (11–20)
MY MARINE MARILYNTatsuhiko Yamamoto
Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, a singer who gained popularity in the city pop scene in the 1980s.
Among the city pop of that era, many of his works leaned heavily toward mainstream pop, and he even released some American pop-style tracks.
Of all his songs, the one I especially recommend is “MY MARINE MARILYN.” It starts off with a city pop vibe, but as it builds toward the chorus, it takes on an American pop feel.
The vocal range is very narrow in every section, so it seems like a safe choice to sing at an after-party karaoke session.
If I Could Play the PianoToshiyuki Nishida
Toshiyuki Nishida, who has left a strong mark in many works as a renowned actor.
He’s a versatile performer, and for a time he was active as a musical artist as well.
When it comes to songs that represent him, isn’t it, after all, “Moshimo Piano ga Hiketa Nara” (“If Only I Could Play the Piano”)? It’s characterized by a very calm vocal delivery, with a relatively even melodic contour and a narrow range.
It’s ideal for karaoke when you’re getting tired and want to sing something that can be performed softly.
Humans, you know…Takuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida is a singer-songwriter who represents Japan’s folk scene.
In addition to orthodox songs, he also created many introspective, edgy tracks characteristic of the folk scene of the time.
Among Yoshida’s works, the one I particularly recommend for men in their 50s is Ningen Nante (“Humans Ain’t Much”).
It features a decadent melody, and the vocal range is fairly standard.
You might feel it’s a bit high, but even at the highest points it stays in the mid-to-high range, so there shouldn’t be any issues with vocal production.
Its rough, rugged vocals are a hallmark, and the fact that it still sounds reasonably complete even when sung a bit loosely is part of what makes it easy to sing.
Aino Katachi feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)NEW!MISIA
The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.
HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.
This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.
Keep these two points in mind when singing.
SubaruShinji Tanimura
As a solo artist, this was Shinji Tanimura’s second single, released on April 1, 1980.
At the time, Alice—the new music group he belonged to—was at the height of its popularity, and this single, released amid that momentum, also became a major hit.
As of May 2022, many people in their fifties likely remember just how popular Alice was back then and how big a hit this song became.
The title “Subaru” is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster, and the song lives up to that name—crafted to evoke a grand and majestic world.
The vocal melody is both expansive and easy to hum, so be sure to sing along and enjoy!
My Father's Longest DayMasashi Sada
Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.
Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.
Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?
Easy-to-sing karaoke songs recommended for men in their 50s (21–30)
interaction; friendly contact; bondingMasatoshi Nakamura
Among the songs we’re introducing this time, one of the easiest to sing is Fureai.
It’s a popular number by Masatoshi Nakamura, who was also hugely successful as an actor.
Although the song carries a somber mood, its vocal line is very simple.
It generally sits in the mid-to-low to low range, with an overall average vocal range.
That alone might not make it seem particularly easy, but the biggest reason it’s so singable lies in the required volume.
Because the original is sung very softly, even the higher parts are easy to produce.
It’s a somewhat mature pick, so it’s a good choice to sing at karaoke when there are more men in the group.
