[2026] Japanese karaoke songs that men in their 50s get excited about (91–100)
hairy chestSaijō Hideki
This song is characterized by passionate vocals and alluring lyrics.
Released in February 1983, it drew attention as Hideki Saijo’s first single after going independent.
It was also included on the album “It’s You” and is cherished as one of Saijo’s signature works from the 1980s.
The lyrics by Yoshinori Monta depict a yearning for an enticing woman, even if it means a one-night romance.
It’s perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke or blowing off work-related stress.
With its easy-to-remember melody and lyrics, it’s a track enjoyed not only by men in their 50s but by listeners of all ages.
It’s nothing good.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This song, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s 16th single, was released in 1987 and used as the theme song for the TV drama “Oyako Zigzag,” so many of you may remember it.
The “pii pii pii” used in the intro and interlude is so famous that just hearing it is sure to bring back memories for many people.

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This was Southern All Stars’ third single, released in March 1979.
Up until this release, Southern were known for a hot, powerful, and comedic image—slightly risqué, even—so dropping a suddenly wistful slow ballad as a single must have surprised many people who were listening to them in real time back then.
I was actually one of those people myself.
It’s a song where Kuwata’s decidedly “manly” vocals shine in every sense, so even though it’s a slow ballad, when you sing it at karaoke, don’t fuss over the small details—immerse yourself fully in the song’s world.
I’m sure you’ll feel great singing it, and your friends listening will feel something too.
And it’s essential that everyone joins in at the start of the chorus!
Season in the SunTUBE
TUBE’s smash hit “Season in the Sun,” released in 1989, is a quintessential summer tune.
With its Latin flair, driving beat, and bright, refreshing vibe, it’s a fun track that makes you want to listen by the ocean under a blue sky.
A song that goes perfectly with jeans and a T-shirt, it has become a timeless summer classic.
It’s a recommended track to enjoy during the season with close friends at BBQs or karaoke.
LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu
Not only as a guitarist but also as a composer and singer-songwriter, Tomoyasu Hotei has had a remarkable career.
While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.
Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.
Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.
KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke
Kyosuke Himuro’s signature song “KISS ME.” It’s a rock-style track emblematic of the ’90s, featuring sharp, punchy synthesizers.
Despite that, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
While the range is fairly wide—lowest note at mid1 C and highest at hi F—the song is primarily built around the mid2 C area, so it’s not an extremely high-pitched piece.
In fact, if you imitate Himuro’s constricted vocal style, you may find it quite manageable.
It’s a surefire hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro
For men in their 50s, isn’t this the quintessential Christmas song? Tatsuro Yamashita’s classic Christmas track “Christmas Eve” remains highly popular even today.
It’s a masterpiece that represents the season—one that not only resonates with people in their 50s but also gets younger generations excited together.
