MoonlightMasahiro Kuwana
This is a song by Masahiro Kuwana, who sadly passed away and is still missed.
People tend to focus on his wild, unconventional lifestyle, but he also sang beautiful ballads like this one.
It may not be among the most popular choices for karaoke, but for those who know it, it’s a deeply moving, mature song.
Give it a try and sing it.
Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Hata
This song is popular across a wide range of ages, from children to adults, partly because it was the theme song for the 3DCG animated film STAND BY ME Doraemon.
“Himawari no Yakusoku” is a single by Motohiro Hata, released in 2014.
If you usually sing only familiar karaoke songs or tracks from the artists you’ve known for years, this highly recognizable song is a safe choice for any karaoke occasion.
It’s also a number that’s especially popular with children and women.
Romantic FlightKome Kome Club
This is Kome Kome Club’s 10th single, released in April 1990.
It was used as the CM song for JAL’s Okinawa travel “JAL STORY Summer Rikyu Campaign” in 1990.
Just by listening, you can picture the beautiful summer scenery of Okinawa—it’s a track brimming with a refreshing vibe! As of November 2023, many people in their 50s likely heard this song in real time.
The vocal melody sits in a range that’s easy for most people to sing, so you can hum along casually.
For the higher notes in the chorus, try placing the sound toward the upper palate inside your mouth; it gives your tone a bit of sparkle, which I think helps recreate the original song’s freshness in karaoke.
Give it a try!
Just by you being hereKome Kome Club
Kome Kome Club is a nine-member band that rose to popularity with their glamorous live performances and now continues at its own pace while releasing new music.
Their 13th single “Kimi ga Iru Dake de,” released as a double A-side with “Aishiteru,” was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Sugao no Mama de.” Despite its catchy and refreshing melody, the overall key is low, making it relatively easy for men in their 50s to sing.
As a song that achieved double million sales and is widely known across generations, it’s a pop tune well worth adding to your karaoke repertoire.
homeYusaku Kiyama
Yusaku Kiyama, who debuted from the singer audition program “UtaSuta!!,” released this song “home” in 2008 as the 20th project single from the show.
Many people will recognize it the moment the chorus starts—“Oh, that song!” While there are plenty of songs about mothers or a mother’s love for her child, this one is a “song from a father to his child.” Sung while thinking of family, “home” is undeniably cool—a deeply moving anthem of family love.

Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
It might make you a little bashful, but how about trying a love song that expresses a man’s straightforward feelings? This song, “Junrenka,” was released by Shonan no Kaze in 2006 and became a long-running hit.
It’s a gentle piece like a letter to someone you love, looking back on how he met his beloved girlfriend while pouring out honest affection.
You could sing it while reminiscing about a past romance, or dedicate it to someone special by your side right now—either way, it’s sure to get everyone excited!
JunkoTsuyoshi Nagabuchi
Back in the day, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi was pale and skinny—so slight he looked like a gust of wind might blow him away—nothing like the tan, muscular Nagabuchi we know now.
People in their 50s probably all know this, right? The song “Junko” is from that era.
It was originally included on the album Gyakuryu (Reverse Flow), but due to passionate fan demand it was released as a single and became a massive hit, topping the Oricon charts for six consecutive weeks.
At karaoke, it was standard to swap out “Junko” with your girlfriend’s name when you sang it.
