B BLUEBOØWY
Even after their breakup, the four-piece rock band BOØWY is still spoken of as a legend and continues to have a profound influence on countless bands today.
Their fourth single, “B・BLUE,” has been performed at every live show since its release and is cherished as one of BOØWY’s signature songs among the many classics they left behind.
The overall key isn’t very high and the melody is simple, making it easy to sing even for men who aren’t confident at karaoke.
It’s an eternal rock tune that’s guaranteed to get things going when sung at karaoke among people in their 50s—the generation that grew up with it.
Sneaker BluesMasahiko Kondo
Here is the debut single by Masahiko Kondo, who was extremely popular at the time as a member of the Tanokin Trio.
It was also used in a film of the same title in which they appeared.
I imagine many men in their 50s wanted to imitate his cool style.
You can feel the popular music of the era in various aspects of the song’s arrangement and lyrics, making it a likely hit at karaoke among people of the same generation.
GatchamanMasato Shimon
A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for a big sing-along! People might laugh and say, “Who put in ‘Gatchaman’?!” but honestly, there isn’t a single person in their 50s who doesn’t know the lyrics.
Have fun with it—try singing it a bit in Shimon’s style, too!
I can’t even sing the beginningYutaka Ozaki
With overwhelming charisma, singer-songwriter Yutaka Ozaki captured the hearts of young people across the nation.
His third single, “I Can’t Even Sing the Beginning,” was released as a re-cut from his first album, “Seventeen’s Map,” which is known as a classic.
If you’re in your 50s and likely listened to Ozaki in your youth, you might just feel like singing it at karaoke.
Go ahead—pour your emotions into it and give it your all!
Ah, summer vacation.TUBE
This is TUBE’s 11th single, released in May 1990.
It was a major hit with total sales exceeding 200,000 copies, and for those in their 50s, the time when this song came out might have been one of the most enjoyable periods, don’t you think? Many people probably had fun singing it at karaoke back then.
That said, TUBE’s vocalist, Maeda, is an exceptionally skilled singer, and his powerful high notes in the chorus are truly remarkable.
Since very few people can deliver such powerful high tones, be sure to choose the key carefully when you sing it.
WALKING IN THE RAINShogo Hamada
Singer-songwriter Shogo Hamada, known for his lyrics that strongly emphasize the Japanese language, has built a loyal fan base despite having very limited media exposure.
“WALKING IN THE RAIN,” included as the B-side to his 20th single, “Rojiura no Shonen (FULL VERSION),” was released as a self-cover of a song he originally provided to Saburo Tokito.
While the wide melodic range and rapid flow make certain parts challenging, the stylish arrangement is likely to make you want to sing it at karaoke.
It’s a cool number that would look great when performed by someone in their 50s.

It’s also easy to sing with few key changes and dynamic shifts, making it a song you’ll want to put in early.
It’s not uncommon to sing it at school, and it’s practically become a national favorite.
