[Men in Their 50s, Gather Round!] Classic Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers & Easy-to-Sing Hits (11–20)
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!
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
Released in May 1987 as THE BLUE HEARTS’ major-label debut single.
It’s a very straightforward, easy-to-grasp punk (beat punk) song, so even people who aren’t confident singers should have no problem enjoying it at karaoke.
Plus, if you’re in your 50s as of 2020, you likely experienced the late-’80s “Ika-ten” band boom, so this should be a very familiar track for you.
Back then, it was one of those songs that amateur bands would always cover at events.
Forget the theory and just have a blast getting into the groove!
Space Battleship YamatoIsao Sasaki
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!
BE WITH YOUNEW!GLAY
Released in November 1998, this was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tabloid,” and TAKURO has said the lyrics are his greatest masterpiece.
The overall vocal range of the song is D#3 to C#5, and as it progresses into the latter half, it becomes more characteristically GLAY and the range shoots up significantly.
For the high notes in the latter half, don’t force them in chest voice; until you get used to it, it may be good to practice producing them lightly in falsetto.
Once you’re comfortable and can project with more momentum, you’ll build explosiveness and be able to hit the high notes more comfortably.
In any case, breath volume and explosiveness are crucial.
If you’re focusing only on scoring, starting out by tackling it in falsetto is recommended.
MissingNEW!Toshinobu Kubota
Actually, “Missing” is a track from his first album, and even though it wasn’t released as a single, it became one of Toshinobu Kubota’s signature songs with overwhelming popularity! The melody line is simple: sing the verse as if you’re speaking, and slightly increase your volume in the chorus to add expressiveness and make it feel good to sing.
In general, you’ll want to be careful not to belt too much, but be especially mindful in the latter part where the melody changes and the range jumps up—avoid straining your throat.
Aim to connect everything smoothly, place accents farther out toward the high notes, and stay conscious of the pitch bar!
HELLONEW!Masaharu Fukuyama
Released in 1995, “HELLO” became a big hit as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama ‘The Best Unrequited Love: WHITE LOVE STORY.
’ Since it’s sung by Fukuyama, the overall vocal range of the song is D#3–F#4, which isn’t very high, so I think it’s easy even for beginners to sing.
However, the tempo is a bit fast, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
The melody is very simple and easy to remember.
In the A and B sections, cut off the word endings and be mindful of the pauses so you don’t rush.
At the start of the chorus, make sure to put your voice firmly into the mic—this should also enhance your expressiveness!

LOVE LOVE SHOWNEW!THE YELLOW MONKEY
Despite having no tie-in, it became a long-running hit that stayed in the Top 10 for five consecutive weeks—a signature track where The Yellow Monkey’s trademark sultriness fuses with the driving energy of rock.
Among fans, it’s often said to be “the most Yemon-like” song.
The vocal range isn’t very high, the melody is simple, and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so you may find it easy to sing.
Since it’s band rock, the snare drum sound is the key point; if you feel the groove slightly behind the beat, it’ll be easier to lock into the song.
Keep solid time with your body, and be careful not to overproject your voice.
