Karaoke Songs Easy to Sing Even for Those Who Aren’t Good at Singing, Recommended for Men in Their 40s (51–60)
cherrySpitz
This is Spitz’s 13th single, released in April 1996.
It was a major hit, selling over 1.
6 million copies, and it’s popular across generations—not just among people in their 40s.
Although the key is a bit high for a male vocal, some might shy away from singing it at karaoke.
However, the vocal melody itself doesn’t span a very wide range, so if you adjust the key to suit your voice, it should be easy for anyone to sing.
The rhythm has a slight bounce to it, so try singing it with a light, lively feel!
B-BlueBOØWY
Among men in their early 50s, many likely listened to BOØWY.
The band left behind numerous memorable rock classics, and among them, the song I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “B-Blue.” While its heart-pounding melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much.
It’s a song you can comfortably handle even when your voice is worn out after a second party, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
The White LoversKeisuke Kuwata
As a solo artist, Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single overall, released in October 2001.
It was used as the song for Coca-Cola’s “No Reason” campaign commercials, in which Kuwata himself appeared, as well as for UNIQLO’s “LifeWear/HEATTECH: Winter Is the Time to Go Outside” commercials.
You could truly call this a staple of late-’90s to early-2000s J-pop.
Many songs from that era are very easy to sing, and this ballad is no exception—it’s something anyone can casually sing and enjoy.
It might even be fun to sing it while doing a Kuwata-style impression, don’t you think?
AdventurersTHE ALFEE
THE ALFEE’s hidden gem “Adventurers.” If you’re not a fan, you may not be familiar with it, but this track enjoys strong popularity in certain circles because it’s a rare piece with a jazz flavor among THE ALFEE’s songs.
The vocal range is about average, and the structure features a sudden surge in voltage at the chorus.
The chorus shifts to a rock feel with a simple, repetitive structure, while the A and B sections sit comfortably in an easy-to-sing low-to-mid register.
Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at singing, recommended for men in their 40s (61–70)
For loveTamio Okuda
Since debuting as UNICORN in 1987, Tamio Okuda has maintained a unique position throughout his long career, continuing to exert a tremendous influence on subsequent artists.
For many people now in their 40s who spent their youth in the 1990s, it’s likely that Okuda’s songs from around his solo debut—rather than his work with Unicorn—were the soundtrack of their adolescence.
Okuda’s milestone solo debut single, “Ai no Tame ni,” was released in 1994 and became one of his signature tracks, achieving million-seller status.
While it’s hard to capture the nuanced atmosphere that Okuda himself brings, the melody has a relatively narrow range and gentle interval leaps, making it genuinely easy to sing.
If you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Love and a Machine GunFlipper’s Guitar
Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.
Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.
Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.
While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.
Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.
Riding in a Corolla IIKenji Ozawa
Kenji Ozawa’s classic “Riding in a Corolla II.” It tends to be overshadowed by “Konya wa Boogie-Back,” his collaboration with Scha Dara Parr, but in fact, it’s one of his biggest hits.
This song is characterized by its gentle melody.
Maintaining a languid, ennui-tinged mood, the vocal line is naturally rendered calm.
With a narrow range and mild pitch movement, it ranks among the easiest songs to sing from that era.
