Karaoke songs (1–10) that are easy to sing even for men in their 40s who aren’t confident singers
Wonderful DaysUnicorn
Many men in their 40s probably admired Unicorn, didn’t they? The way they freely did what they wanted really stirred a man’s sense of adventure.
Among Unicorn’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Subarashii Hibi.
It features a relaxed, delicate tone, and the vocal line is gentle throughout, with little rise and fall in pitch.
Even those who struggle with high notes can sing it without trouble, so give it a try.
cute personUlfuls
Ulfuls’ classic song “Kawaii Hito.” While Ulfuls often deliver powerful tracks, this one exudes an especially gentle atmosphere among their works.
It’s classified as alternative rock or pop rock, yet it carries a pervasive country and blues vibe throughout, and the vocal line matches that feel with relatively little dynamic fluctuation.
The vocal range is narrow as well, so you should be able to sing it comfortably even at a third-round karaoke session.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
her boyfriendNoriyuki Makihara
Noriyuki Makihara, a singer-songwriter who was hugely active from the 1990s to the 2000s.
While he’s known for his distinctive pop sound, he has actually released some tracks that evoke R&B.
One such song is Shiawase de Aru You ni.
Although it has an R&B feel, it doesn’t feature advanced vocal techniques like the ad-libs you’d hear in authentic R&B.
As long as you can handle the falsetto that appears partway through, the rest isn’t very difficult, making it a song that anyone can sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Karaoke Songs Easy to Sing Even for Those Not Good at Singing: Recommendations for Men in Their 40s (11–20)
KNOCKIN’ ON YOUR DOORL⇔R
The band L⇔R gained popularity with their refreshing musical style that mixes rock and J-pop.
Although they were active in the 1990s, many of their songs evoke the sound of the 1980s, and their catchy music won them many fans.
Among their tracks, one I especially recommend is “KNOCKIN’ ON YOUR DOOR.” It has a slight city-pop vibe, featuring a smooth vocal line with gentle rises and falls in pitch throughout.
The range is a bit on the higher side, but as long as you stay in key, it’s a song that anyone can sing.
Stellar DaysNEW!Motohiro Hata
Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.
While the anime centers on romance, the lyrics carry a somewhat grand impression, yet they mesh well with the show, making the song highly memorable.
It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.
With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.
Be sure to check it out.
The Sound Of Secret MindHi-STANDARD
Hi-STANDARD is a band that greatly contributed to the punk rock boom in Japan.
Many people in their early forties probably recall their youth when they hear the band’s songs.
Among Hi-STANDARD’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is The Sound Of Secret Mind.
Aside from the fact that the lyrics are in English, it’s an easy song to sing without sudden jumps in pitch.
Since it’s punk, you do need power, but conversely, a bit of roughness isn’t a problem, making it a perfect choice for those who aren’t confident in clean, polished vocals.
Summer NudeMagokoro Brothers
Magokoro Brothers, a rock band that earned support for their original musicality.
For men in their 40s, they’re likely a band filled with nostalgic memories.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Summer Nude.
While the melody has a bit of a city-pop feel, the performance itself features many elements of funk.
That said, there aren’t tricky grooves, nor do you encounter things like vocal fakes or hiccups, so it falls into a fairly easy difficulty level.
