[2025] Japanese Pop Karaoke Songs That Get Men in Their 50s Fired Up (41–50)
Go-Go HeavenYoshiyuki Osawa
When it comes to Yoshiyuki Osawa, I think his songs with a black-music flavor that faintly evokes R&B are especially memorable.
Those kinds of tracks often use rhythms uncommon in J-pop, which makes 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 goes from mid2A to hiA and is relatively high, the overall range is narrow, making it easy to adjust the key and exceptionally easy to sing.
With its upbeat, straightforward rhythm, it’s among the top in his catalog when it comes to getting a crowd going.
KISS MEKyosuke Himuro
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.
HELLOMasaharu Fukuyama
Masaharu Fukuyama is a singer-songwriter who is active in a variety of fields—including musician, actor, radio personality, and photographer.
His 10th single, “HELLO,” written as the theme song for the TV drama “The Best Unrequited Love,” is known as one of his signature tracks.
Its melody, lively yet set in a generally low key throughout, makes it approachable even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
With its driving ensemble that amps up the karaoke atmosphere, it’s a refreshing million-selling hit recommended for men in their 50s.
Endless JourneyMr.Children
Life isn’t all good, but Mr.
Children’s 1998 song “Owarinaki Tabi” (“Endless Journey”), which was also used as the theme for the drama ‘Naguru Onna,’ makes you want to keep traveling nonetheless.
It conveys a powerful message about accepting everything that has happened along the way, carrying your inner conflicts, and even turning your moments of doubt into strength.
It’s a song filled with the kind of appeal that makes you reflect on your work, love life, and way of living.
If you go to karaoke with someone who’s carrying worries or heavy thoughts, why not try singing it together at least once?
MARIONETTE ~Marionette~BOØWY
This is one of the signature songs by BOØWY, the legendary band that remains beloved to this day and is also known for having Kyosuke Himuro and Tomoyasu Hotei as members.
The track feels fresh in every way—from Himuro’s cool vocals to Hotei’s aggressive guitar phrases.
The fact that it still sounds so cool today is proof that it’s truly a classic! I’m sure many men in their 50s are still enthusiastic fans, so if you get the chance, definitely try singing it! When you perform it at karaoke, imitate Himuro’s style as you sing to make it even more exciting!
Erotica SevenSouthern All Stars
Southern All Stars, a five-piece rock band renowned as an emblem of summer, have captivated fans for years with their free-spirited and inventive songs.
Their 32nd single, Erotica Seven, which was used as the theme song for the TV drama Devil’s KISS, is a million-selling hit whose catchy intro packs a punch.
With the band’s signature sexy lyrics and a Latin-flavored ensemble, it’s sure to bring back memories for those in their 50s who grew up with it.
It’s an upbeat tune guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session with peers of the same generation.
Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z
B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.
While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.
Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.
If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.
It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
