Karaoke songs that are easy to sing and recommended for men in their 50s (1–10)
B-BlueBOØWY
Among men in their early 50s, many likely listened to BOØWY.
The band left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “B-Blue.” While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.
It’s a song you can comfortably handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Goodbye OceanKiyotaka Sugiyama
Kiyotaka Sugiyama is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking about Japanese AOR and city pop.
In his early days he leaned toward rock, but later he grew interested in R&B and soul, which led him to sing city pop that suited his vocal range.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is Sayonara no Ocean.
It features a characteristically city-pop, expansive vocal line, but the melodic contours are gentle, so as long as you find the right key, anyone can sing it with ease.
To the most important personTunnels
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.
This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Goodbye DayTakao Kisugi
Takao Kisugi is one of the composers who defined the 1980s.
He wrote numerous classic songs such as “Silhouette Romance” and “Slow Motion,” and for a time he was also active as a singer-songwriter.
Among Kisugi’s many works, the one I especially recommend is “Goodbye Day.” It’s a piece where his signature ‘Kisugi style’ is in full bloom, but on top of that, it has a smooth finish and a very singable vocal line with a narrow range.
There are plenty of long tones, but the melodic contours are very gentle, so a man in his 50s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
GLORIAZIGGY
It was ZIGGY’s second and fifth single, with the initial release in May 1988.
In 1989, it was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dōkyūsei,” and with its second single cut, it became a major hit.
Around 1988, the country was on the verge of entering the band boom.
As of 2020, many people in their 50s likely played this song at their school festivals or watched their friends’ bands perform it.
With its very simple yet memorable chorus melody repeated many times, this song is easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
The key might be a bit high for the average person, so in that case, please adjust it on the karaoke machine.
California ConnectionYutaka Mizutani
Actor Yutaka Mizutani has long been popular for his understated, nuanced performances.
Younger people may primarily associate him with “Aibou,” but for men in their 50s, his image as an artist might be just as strong.
Speaking of Mizutani’s classic songs, there’s “California Connection.” It’s a refined piece that exudes an adult atmosphere, built around a gently undulating vocal line with little dramatic fluctuation throughout.
The range is narrow and it doesn’t demand complex vocal techniques, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
You are 1000%.1986 Omega Tribe
Omega Tribe, the band that sparked Japan’s city-pop boom.
In 1986, Omega Tribe changed vocalists to the Brazilian singer Carlos Toshiki and added Joy McCoy on backing vocals, resulting in a sound with stronger Western influences.
When it comes to 1986 Omega Tribe’s classic songs, it has to be “Kimi wa 1000%.” Though it stands out for its power and expansiveness, it doesn’t actually require a wide vocal range, and men in their 50s can sing it comfortably if it’s in the right key.
As long as you focus on a crisp, articulate opening to the vocal line, there’s little that’s technically difficult—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
