Karaoke songs recommended for men in their 40s that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing (111–120)
I can't love anyone but you anymore.KinKi Kids
Among men in their 40s, especially the younger half, KinKi Kids are relatively well-known.
I imagine many men in their 40s sing their songs.
With that in mind, I recommend Mou Kimi Igai Aisenai (“I Can’t Love Anyone But You”).
This track follows in the footsteps of classic Heisei-era ballads, featuring an overall catchy, slow vocal line.
The dynamics may make it seem tricky, but the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s perfectly manageable for events like after-party karaoke.
Definitely give it a try.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This is an uplifting anthem that powerfully portrays the pursuit of dreams and hope, and it is one of Yuzu’s signature songs, widely loved as NHK’s official theme for the Athens Olympics.
Carried by the soothing sound of acoustic guitars, it gently sings of hidden tears and the journey continued despite uncertainty.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and since its release in July 2004, it has continued to warm the hearts of many.
With a leisurely melody, the song has a comfortable vocal range and is easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a heartwarming message song that stands beside those who work hard every day, those who face difficulties, and those about to take a new step in life—why not give it a try?
TSUNAMISouthern All Stars
Known as a masterpiece that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this work is a moving love song celebrated as one of Southern All Stars’ signature pieces.
It’s a gem of a ballad that expresses the sorrow of losing someone dear through a grand melody, fully showcasing Keisuke Kuwata’s exceptional songwriting and composing talent.
Released in January 2000, it topped the Oricon weekly charts and won the Japan Record Award the same year.
It was also selected as the theme song for the popular segment “Mirai Nikki III” on the TV program “U-nan no Hontoko!,” becoming a classic beloved across generations.
As a heartwarming song that offers comfort to those carrying the pain of losing someone special, it’s also highly recommended for karaoke.
MiracleGReeeeN
GReeeeN, who recently changed their name to “GRe4N BOYZ” from 2024 onward, are well known as a group whose members all have careers as dentists and continue their musical activities alongside their medical work.
Since the late 2000s, they have released one hit after another on the J-pop scene, and their songs are hugely popular at karaoke.
Among them, “Kiseki,” released in 2008, is one of their signature tracks and a Heisei-era classic covered by many artists.
Its melody line is simple and easy to sing, and the vocal range is narrow, so if you’re aiming for a high score, definitely give this song a try.
Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS
THE BLUE HEARTS, one of Japan’s most iconic punk rock bands.
For men in their late 40s, they’re a perfect match.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is “Be Kind to People.” Popular as the theme song for a drama of the same name, this track features a catchy punk rock melody that anyone can sing.
Since the song stays mostly in the mid-range, it can tend to sound monotonous.
If you want to add more expressiveness, don’t hesitate to throw in some shouts and sing it with a masculine edge, even if it feels a bit forced.
Wax MuseumSeikima-II
This is the first single by the Japanese HM/HR band Seikima-II, released in April 1986.
The band had a highly distinctive presence from their debut, with performances built around a demonic worldview, and this song propelled them to instant fame alongside that concept and staging.
Demon Kogure, the vocalist of the End of the Century, who sings this track, is an exceptionally skilled singer, and if you delve into the vocal parts, you’ll find great depth.
However, there’s no need for most people to worry about that level of detail when singing it at karaoke.
The melody itself is very easy to sing and pop-friendly, so go ahead and have fun recreating even the spoken lines in the song.
When you sing, keep a firm awareness of the accents on beats 2 and 4; that will keep the performance from sounding flat and help you sing it with a nice groove.
MTakeshi Tsuruno
This is a cover of a Princess Princess song.
For those who find the original key too high to sing comfortably—this one’s still high, but it’s all about practice.
These lyrics really suit Takeshi Tsuruno’s voice; he puts real feeling into it.
Let’s keep at it until we can sing it with true emotion!
