For Men in Their 50s: Easy Karaoke Songs That Can Score High (21–30)

A work renowned as one of the great ballads of the Heisei era, “Single Bed.” Considered a signature song of Sharan Q, it’s still frequently sung at karaoke and is popular in vocal training as well.

Its range is mid1 C# to mid2 G#, so it’s not extremely low, but because the more energetic phrases can be sung with a rich mid-to-low tone, it’s a piece that really brings out the appeal of men with lower voices.

By using a technique called the hiccup (hi-cup) singing method, you can further emphasize masculinity; try incorporating it to the extent that it doesn’t affect your scoring.

Because it’s a song familiar from “24-Hour Television,” it’s known across a wide range of generations.

The biggest draw of this piece is, without a doubt, its rich, husky vocal line.

Although the arrangement is grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so it’s highly recommended for men with lower voices.

You’ll be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of your low tones.

I’m head over heels for you. — Yellow Magic Orchestra

Yellow Magic Orchestra, a group that rose to fame with their inventive electronic music.

Their song “Kimi ni, Mune Kyun.” was composed from the perspective that, since they had been churning out hit numbers for idols at the time, it should be theoretically possible for them to become popular as “middle-aged idols” as well.

As a result, it features a catchy and somewhat cute melody.

The vocal range is narrow and the vocal line remains fairly even, making it easier to match the pitch bar.

countrysideKoji Tamaki

Even after taking a break from performing with Anzen Chitai, Koji Tamaki has continued to leave behind numerous masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.

Among his many great songs, one I especially recommend for its singability and simple melodic line is Denen (Countryside).

Although its vocal range is very narrow—mid1 D to mid2 E—it still has well-prepared moments of excitement, making it a perfectly balanced song that’s both easy to sing and energizing.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Hiromi Go’s classic “240 Million Eyes – Exotic Japan,” which frequently appears on variety shows and the like, was a highly original work for its time.

Its melodic style features hallmarks of kayōkyoku while still fitting within J‑POP.

Partly because of those kayōkyoku elements, the song is arranged within a fairly narrow vocal range of mid1 D to mid2 F.

Regardless of gender, it should be singable without difficulty if you choose an appropriate key.

It’s also a popular karaoke number, so try boosting the excitement with a score challenge.

Go-Go HeavenYoshiyuki Osawa

Speaking of Yoshiyuki Osawa, I think his songs that subtly evoke R&B and have a black music flavor leave a strong impression.

Those kinds of tracks often feature rhythms uncommon in Japanese music, making them fairly challenging, but “Go Go Heaven” is different.

As a song by Yoshiyuki Osawa, this one is crafted as a particularly orthodox rock number.

While the range reaches from mid2A to hiA and is on the higher side, the overall range is narrow, making key adjustments easy and giving it outstanding singability.

The groove is lively with a straightforward rhythm, so it should also be easy to keep pitch.

Throughout the long history of Japanese pop music, many Christmas songs have been created, but when it comes to tracks with an especially cool vibe, this one—“Kurismasu Kyaroru no Koro ni wa” (When the Christmas Carol Comes Around)—is likely the first that comes to mind.

While the flashy arrangement leaves a strong impression, the vocal line is calm and the range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G#.

It works great sung low and laid-back, and it also shines if you raise the key and throw in some shouts—so try it in whatever style you prefer.
