Calling all men in their 50s! Classic crowd-pleasers and easy-to-sing hits for karaoke (21–30)
LOVE LOVE SHOWTHE 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.
ChampionAlice
It was Alice’s 14th single in total, released in December 1978.
Alice is often remembered as having led the New Music boom of the time, but apparently this was the only song of theirs to reach No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
In any case, it was a massive hit in the Showa era, so as of 2023, there are probably very few people in their 50s who haven’t heard it.
Some of you might even have pretended a broom was a guitar and sung this during school cleaning time.
The vocal melody itself is very simple and easy to sing, but if your voice is weak, you won’t be able to capture the song’s atmosphere, so try to sing it as powerfully as you can.
TOKIOKenji Sawada
TOKIO, sung by Kenji Sawada—known for Showa-era classics like “Do What You Want” and “A Dangerous Pair”—is his 29th single, released in 1980.
It’s been used in commercials for Lotte Ice Cream’s Mona-Oh and All Nippon Airways, and covered by various artists on music programs, making it a song that people of all generations can feel familiar with.
With its pop, upbeat tempo, it’s easy for everyone to sing together and guaranteed to liven things up.
Even if you’re not confident in your singing, joining in with everyone might chase away your nerves!
CheersTsuyoshi 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.
I want to hug you.Mr.Children
It’s an eternal love song written and composed by vocalist Kazutoshi Sakurai.
It first appeared on the album “Kind of Love.” Although total sales were about 60,000 copies, it later received Gold Disc certification and continues to be loved across generations.
The overall vocal range spans D3 to A#4, expanding and building toward the latter half.
When singing, project your voice confidently without hesitation to maintain stability throughout.
Since head voice appears at the end of the chorus, keep resonance in your head so you can transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.
Also, the final chorus modulates upward.
Raise your energy and stay mindful so your pitch doesn’t drop!
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi
Released in 1992, this is Yasushi Nakanishi’s signature hit ballad that became synonymous with him.
Although it peaked at No.
16 on the Oricon charts, it turned into a long-running hit, selling a total of about 900,000 copies.
Many artists, including Kiyoshi Maekawa, Kumi Koda, EXILE ATSUSHI, and Ms.OOJA, have covered it, so it’s fun to look for a version in a vocal range that suits you.
I used to practice this song a lot in vocal training, and I remember it having a lot of the “na” sound.
Because “na” tends to be nasal, if you produce the sound carelessly, it becomes quite hard to sing.
If you articulate clearly with a conscious accent on each instance, it should be easier to sing.
Give it a try!
Broken RadioHidemasa Tokunaga
This was his 10th single and one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s signature songs.
It reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and became a huge hit ballad, selling a total of about 360,000 copies.
He also performed it at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2006 and 2009, and it continues to be loved across generations.
Many people do impressions of Hideaki Tokunaga, but when you sing it at karaoke, I hope you’ll sing boldly in your own voice! The overall vocal range of the song is F#3 to A4, which may be comfortable for many male singers, but the chorus stays on the higher side, so if you’re not familiar with the song you might end up straining your throat.
It’s very important to keep your throat open and direct your breath toward the notes! Lift those facial muscles and sing with expression!
