Karaoke Songs Easy to Sing for Men in Their 40s Who Aren’t Good at Singing (81–90)
FlowerORANGE RANGE
This is ORANGE RANGE’s eighth single, released in October 2004.
I think it’s a track that really lets you enjoy the contrast between the rap-style sections and the melodic sections.
The melody in the melodic parts is very straightforward, easy to remember, and easy to sing, making this another recommended number for men in their 40s who don’t usually sing much.
If you take care to keep the rhythm and groove of the rap parts from becoming flat, it will come across even better, so listen closely to the drum part of the backing track and try singing while feeling the song’s beat.
Don't avert your eyes.DEEN
It’s DEEN’s fifth single overall, released on June 22, 1994.
It’s a “Being-kei” track from the 1990s—a period that could be called the peak of J-POP—when the karaoke market was heavily emphasized in making hits.
As such, the melody and lyrics are crafted so that even people who aren’t good at singing can hum along easily.
In that sense, I’d say it’s one of the best choices for those who aren’t confident singers to pick at karaoke.
It’s a bright pop tune, so just be careful not to make your delivery too heavy when you sing it.
SaudadePorno Graffitti
PORNOGRAFFITTI’s classic hit Saudade.
For men in their early 40s, it’s probably a perfect fit.
With its distinctive Latin-flavored melody, the song carries a passionate and cool vibe throughout.
The rhythm can be a bit tricky, but since there’s no vibrato at all, the overall vocal difficulty is on the easier side.
If you want it to sound polished, avoid a soft, slippery delivery and sing with clear, well-defined articulation.
The rattlesnake is comingTunnels
Not only did they score big with variety shows, but the comedy duo Tunnels also enjoyed hits with their songs.
Among the many hit numbers they produced, the one I especially recommend as an easy-to-sing track is Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru.
It falls under what you’d call a comic song and is mainly aimed at elementary and middle school students, but the vocal line is surprisingly funky and cool.
The overall vocal range is quite narrow, so it’s suitable for men of almost any voice type.
Hide-and-seekYuri
For men in their 40s who are looking for recent hit songs that are easy to sing, I recommend Yuuri’s Kakurenbo.
Yuuri originally made his major debut as the frontman of a rock band, but after the group disbanded, his street performances drew attention, and he re-debuted in 2020 as a singer-songwriter.
While he’s especially popular with Gen Z, his novel-like lyrics and carefully woven melodies resonate deeply even with listeners in their 40s.
Kakurenbo is one of his signature songs, and among Yuuri’s tracks it’s arranged in a relatively lower key.
Although the chorus does reach slightly higher notes, the overall range is narrower, making it easy to sing.
The parts sung with power carry a captivating nuance that reflects his rock background, so if you enjoy ballads, definitely give it a try.
I looked up at the sky.Noritake Kinashi, Hiromi, George Tokoro
Composed by George Tokoro as the theme song for the travel variety show “Noritake, Fumiya, and Hiromi Go! Camping Car Training Camp—A Journey of Encounters, Connections, and Happiness,” starring Noritake Kinashi, Fumiya Fujii, and George Tokoro and broadcast irregularly on the Fuji TV network from 2015 to 2016 and again in 2023, the track was released in December 2023.
It’s a mid-tempo piece with a warm, laid-back vibe, and its melodic range is comfortably singable for most men, making it a great recommendation even for those who don’t usually sing.
Just like in the original, it’s even more fun when sung together with a few friends in chorus!

PearlTHE YELLOW MONKEY
For many men in their 40s, THE YELLOW MONKEY is an object of admiration, isn’t it? The band, known as “Iemon,” has left behind many classic songs, and among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing for men in their 40s is Pearl.
It’s a piece where Iemon’s straightforward sensibility shines throughout, with a youthful, boyish melody from start to finish.
The vocal range is narrow and it’s sung mostly in the mid to low register, so it should be no problem to sing even at an after-party karaoke where your voice might not come out as easily.
