Karaoke Songs Easy to Sing Even for Those Not Good at Singing: Recommendations for Men in Their 40s (31–40)
Until My Babe-kun falls asleepSharam Q
Sharan Q is a band that gained popularity for its original musicality, combining the essence of kayōkyoku with rock.
They’re well-regarded for their ballads, and among them, “My Babe Kimi ga Nemuru made” is especially recommended as an easy song to sing.
The vocal range is quite narrow, from mid1 C# to mid2 G#.
They frequently use a technique called ‘hiccup’ at the start of each phrase, so mastering this will quickly elevate the overall quality.
Give it a try for reference.
River of TimeFENCE OF DEFENSE
FENCE OF DEFENSE is a rock band that gained popularity for a musical style centered on genres like progressive rock and power pop.
They released many works incorporating techno-influenced sounds, and alongside groups like SOFT BALLET, they’re recognized as one of the quintessential edgy rock bands of the ’90s.
Their song Toki no Kawa (River of Time) is renowned as one of their masterpieces.
While its composition is somewhat unusual, the vocal range isn’t particularly wide and there are no abrupt key changes, so as long as you learn the vocal line well, most people should be able to reproduce it to a fair degree.
Sorrow like snowShogo Hamada
This was Shogo Hamada’s 14th single, released on November 21, 1981.
In 1992, it was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” which led to it being re-released on February 1 of the same year as his 23rd single.
Hamada himself has a very husky and appealing voice, so in that sense, this might be one of the best choices for people who aren’t confident singers—especially those who struggle with high notes—to pick for karaoke.
The vocal melody is very simple and easy to sing, so even if you’re not good at singing, please give this one a try and enjoy it.
Don’t worry about the details; just focus on the vibe, and you’ll likely make it sound really good!
I don't want to let go.T-BOLAN
This is T-BOLAN’s second single, released as a single in December 1991, cut from their first album, “T-BOLAN.” A cover by Gackt was later released as well.
It’s a very beautiful ballad; the intro, led mainly by piano and vocals, might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers to tackle at karaoke.
However, if you can gently deliver that opening, then for the chorus and beyond, just sing with all the heat and passion—like the original—and it should come together quite nicely.
If your voice cracks on the high notes, it can ruin the whole performance, so if you plan to sing this at karaoke, it’s best to figure out a key that suits you beforehand.
Give it a try and showcase a passionate, emotion-filled vocal!
You are in full color.Eiichi Ohtaki
Eiichi Ohtaki’s seventh single overall, released on March 21, 1981.
The song has been used in many commercials, including Rohto Pharmaceutical’s “New V Rohto” (1981), Kirin Beverage’s “Namacha” (2004), and Asahi Breweries’ “Asahi Slat” (2010), so many of you have probably heard it through those ads.
It features an extremely poppy, straightforward melody, with no musically or rhythmically difficult sections, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it at karaoke with little trouble.
Just be careful not to let the bouncy rhythm get too heavy!

milk teaMasaharu Fukuyama
This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 21st single, released in May 2006.
It was issued as a double A-side single together with Utsukushiki Hana, which was included on the CD at the same time, and it was used as the theme song for the TBS variety show Koi suru Hanikami!.
It’s a slow-tempo ballad where the beautiful acoustic guitar sound and Fukuyama’s mature vocals are exquisitely matched.
There aren’t any particularly tricky, technically difficult parts in the vocal melody, but when singing this at karaoke, the most important thing is how you handle the spacing between phrases—how well you “sing” the rests.
Cherish each and every word of the lyrics, and try singing it after studying his original performance carefully.
Don’t worry be happyMONGOL800
This is a party tune from a band that kept racking up hits—not just in Okinawa, but across the indie scene, even setting new records.
The lyrics are easy to grasp, the catchy sound is instantly familiar, and it’s the kind of song you want to sing with everyone, fists in the air.
It would absolutely light up a second round at a drinking party.
