Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those not good at singing, recommended for men in their 40s (141–150)
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
Released in July 2006 as Aqua Timez’s debut single.
Although it was the band’s first major-label single, it was selected as the theme song for the animated film “Brave Story,” and later in 2011 it was also used as the special commercial song for Sapporo Beer’s “New Year Sports Special: Hakone Ekiden,” specifically for the “Everyone’s Hakone Ekiden Story” campaign.
It’s a beautiful, slow-tempo track with striking string arrangements throughout.
The vocal melody is very straightforward and gentle, making it easy for anyone to hum along.
The rhythmic phrasing of the melody in the A section is a bit tricky, so if possible, please practice that part in advance before singing.
ForeverThe Gospellers
This celebrated song, which sings of an eternal bond with a loved one, gently conveys the unbreakable feelings that exist precisely because love is formless.
Transcending physical distance, the unwavering longing for the other person resonates in the heart alongside beautiful harmonies.
Released in August 2000, the track stayed on the Oricon chart for an impressive 44 weeks and was selected as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s JAPAN COUNTDOWN.
Its diverse arrangements—hallmarks of The Gospellers—are part of its appeal, including the Album Version on the album “Soul Serenade” and the “unplugged live version” included on the single “Hitori.” It remains a beloved song that makes you want to sing while thinking of someone special, especially after time spent talking with friends.
An uncool way of getting dumpedSenri Oe
Senri Oe’s 23rd single, released in July 1991.
It also served as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “The Men Who Want to Get Married.” This song is very simple, easy to remember, and has a catchy melody, making it an ideal choice for people who aren’t confident singers to try at karaoke.
The straightforward structure also makes it easier to learn.
Musically, there are no parts that require extremely high or low notes, so it’s a song I can confidently recommend to anyone.
Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those not good at singing, recommended for men in their 40s (151–160)
Time, stop.Eikichi Yazawa
It’s Eikichi Yazawa’s fifth single, released in March 1978.
It was chosen for a Shiseido commercial that year and became a big hit.
The song is crafted as a medium-to-slow tempo number that brings out Yazawa’s cool, rugged vocal style, and perhaps only men in their 40s and older can truly recreate that “ruggedness” when singing it at karaoke.
The vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, and there aren’t any notably difficult rhythmic parts, so by all means try it at karaoke and show off the charm of a cool, rugged singing voice.
Ride on shooting starthe pillows
The pillows, a rock band that enjoyed charismatic popularity in the 1990s.
For men in their 40s who loved rock, they’re almost an object of admiration, aren’t they? Among their songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Ride on Shooting Star.
It’s crisp indie rock, but the vocal line is surprisingly simple and kept in the low to mid range, so men in their 40s who can’t hit high notes should definitely give it a try.
Summer TribeDragon Ash
Men in their 40s belong to the generation that lived through the dawn of hip-hop.
For those not interested in the underground scene, many might associate hip-hop with Dragon Ash.
Among Dragon Ash’s tracks, a particularly singable hip-hop song I recommend is Summer Tribe.
It features a cool, breezy beat overlaid with old-school style rap.
Since it doesn’t include the complex flows common in modern hip-hop, men in their 40s who want to rap at karaoke should definitely give it a try.
Wandervogelkururi
Quruli is a rock band that continues to draw fans with its languid melodies and profound messages.
While they weren’t a wildly mainstream phenomenon, they undoubtedly helped shape the style of modern Japanese rock.
Among Quruli’s tracks, the one I’d especially recommend to men in their 40s as an easy song to sing is Wonder Vogel.
Its near-futuristic arrangement paired with a monotone vocal line makes it very singable.
It’s also nice that there are no high notes at all.
