No more tears are neededMasayuki Suzuki
Songs that are easy to sing often end up with simple melodies, which can make them feel a bit lacking in allure.
I imagine many men in their 40s want to sing songs that are both easy to sing and have a sensual vibe.
That’s why I recommend “Mou Namida wa Iranai” (No More Tears).
It’s a pop ballad with an R&B flavor, and the melody maintains a seductive feel throughout.
That said, the vocal lines have a lot in common with Japanese kayōkyoku, so there are more singable parts than you might expect.
Men in their 40s with rich, full voices should definitely give it a try.
Sing, sky of JapanSouthern All Stars
Southern All Stars is a band that has continued to be loved across generations.
Even people in their teens and twenties may feel familiar with them because their parents listened to their music.
Their new song is “Utae Nippon no Sora” (“Sing, Sky of Japan”).
It’s a laid-back track that evokes summer and has a tropical feel throughout.
The vocal line is mostly in a low register, making it an easy song to sing even for men who can’t hit high notes.

Their song “MARIONETTE,” released on July 22, 1987, became the band’s first number-one hit and was a massive success.
In recent years, many people may have discovered the track through Nagata from the comedy duo Chocolate Planet, who often imitates it.
The incredibly cool sound sticks in your head and you can’t help but play it on repeat! Since it doesn’t have many high notes, even men in their 40s who aren’t confident singers can pull it off in a stylish way!
CIRCUSTomoyasu Hotei
Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “CIRCUS.” Released as his 13th single, this track reimagines underground-style electronic music with a disco flair and became a nationwide hit.

The rhythm is mostly on the downbeat, so it’s very singable.
Innocent WorldMr.Children
Released in 1994 as Mr.
Children’s fifth single, this classic needs no introduction and was a massive hit, yet it still feels timeless today.

It recalls a time when we were chasing our dreams, giving a boost to days when we feel swallowed by the busyness of everyday life, and sends a message to keep moving toward the light—one that resonates with many.
Don’t worry about how well you sing; just sing it as your true self!
