Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those not good at singing, recommended for men in their 40s (141–150)
Roses and WineRED WARRIORS
This is the second single by RED WARRIORS, a Japanese rock band formed around former Rebecca guitarist Takehiko Kogure and Yutaka Tadokoro, released in April 1987.
It’s a very cool rock song with a slightly bouncy rhythm that really stands out! If you’re in your late forties or so, some of you might even have fond memories of playing this in a band.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, making it quite easy to sing, so I recommend choosing it casually for karaoke and focusing on capturing the song’s atmosphere.
Just be careful when you actually sing it to keep that original bouncy feel from flattening out.
BambinaTomoyasu Hotei
If you’re a rock-loving man in your 40s, you’ve almost certainly listened to Tomoyasu Hotei’s music.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Bambina.
It’s a track with a bustling, quintessential rock ’n’ roll-style riff that leaves a strong impression, and it keeps the energy up from start to finish.
Despite its upbeat groove, the vocal line centers on the mid to low range, making it very comfortable to sing.
Give it a try.
Summer Days of 1993class
When it comes to early Heisei-era summer songs, many people now in their 40s will probably think of this track first.
As the title suggests, “Natsu no Hi no 1993,” released in 1993, was a massive hit by the male duo class, selling over a million copies.
Its melody line is set in a relatively low key, making it very easy to sing—even those who struggle with high notes can take it on without worry, and it seems promising for scoring high in karaoke.
If you’re confident in your singing, try recreating the harmonies and backing vocals with your friends!
TELL MEhide with Spread Beaver
Hide from X JAPAN captivated not only women but many men as well.
I imagine quite a few men in their 40s admired him.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is TELL ME.
This track stands out for its straightforward rock sound that feels light yet passionate, and the vocal line is equally direct.
Since there aren’t any overly complicated vocal parts, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
The chorus is deliberately set in a lower register too, which is a welcome point for those who find it hard to hit higher notes.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldNoriyuki Makihara
It’s a classic with a message anyone can relate to.
Released as a single by SMAP in March 2003, the song drew major attention as the theme for the drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi.” Through the various flowers lined up in front of a florist’s shop, it celebrates the value and preciousness of each individual’s existence.
Written by Noriyuki Makihara, the piece was cherished by SMAP’s members and embraced by many listeners.
With a not-too-high pitch and a relaxed rhythm, it’s enjoyable to sing even if you’re not confident in your vocals.
It’s a great choice for lightening the mood at karaoke or when you want to reaffirm the importance of staying true to yourself.
WON’T BE LONGBubblegum Brothers
A track marked by an irresistibly catchy, upbeat groove and a festival-like, uplifting rhythm.
Inspired by the Awa Odori dance, its forward-looking message—filled with a powerful resolve to give your all for someone—really strikes a chord.
It features the Bubblegum Brothers’ signature breezy sound and approachable lyrics.
Released in August 1990, it initially drew little attention, but after being broadcast on a TV program in March 1991, it exploded in popularity and became a million-seller.
In 2006, it was also covered by EXILE and Kumi Koda.
It’s an encouraging anthem that gives energy and courage—especially recommended for those worn out by work or daily life.
It’s also perfect for livening up a karaoke session with friends.
White LoversKeisuke Kuwata
A gem of a ballad, richly expressing the bittersweet feelings of winter love, has been delivered by Keisuke Kuwata.
It’s a moving piece that looks back on warm memories of love, as if wrapped in snow, with a sense of blessing.
Rather than lamenting a past romance as a mere failure, it impressively celebrates the moments of that love from the heart.
Accompanied by a beautiful, resonant melody, it conveys a gentle warmth within the chill of winter.
Released in October 2001, the song was featured in a Coca-Cola commercial and sold 520,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart.
It’s a perfect choice for winter karaoke with family and close friends when you want to share heartwarming memories.
