Karaoke Songs for Men in Their 40s: Carefully Selected Hit Tracks Women Want to Hear (51–60)

ZEROB’z

B’z’s “ZERO” has a cool sound that fuses hard rock and funk.

Even without a tie-in, it became a massive hit and sold over a million copies! Another highlight is the rare rap part for them in the middle of the song.

I think many men in their 40s have sung B’z at karaoke.

Among their tracks, this one doesn’t feel dated and seems likely to appeal to younger generations too, so it should get the crowd going if you pick it when you go to karaoke with junior coworkers.

Bridge of Gloryyuzu

Eikou no Kakehashi – Yuzu (Full)
Glorious Bridge - Yuzu

This song portrays the hardships and setbacks in life, and the journey of overcoming them to grasp hope.

It beautifully expresses the light that awaits beyond tears no one sees and the sweat shed in silence, woven with melodies and words that deeply resonate with listeners.

Released by Yuzu in July 2004, the song was chosen as NHK’s official theme for the Athens Olympics, and, together with the moment the men’s gymnastics team won gold, it became etched in the memories of many.

Loved as a cheer song for everyone striving toward their goals, it continues to offer support: to those taking steady steps toward their dreams and to those confronting the walls before them.

As a piece that accompanies the important moments of life, it delivers a powerful, heartfelt message that truly resonates.

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.

Goodbye ElegyMasaki Suda

“I’m always singing songs from the ’90s and 2000s, so I want to try some recent hits too…” If you’re a man in your 40s who feels that way, why not take on Masaki Suda’s “Sayonara Elegy”? Written by singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki and released in 2018 as Suda’s single, it’s a popular track boasting 180 million views on YouTube as of now.

Its melody carries a certain nostalgia, and the bittersweet sense of speed will likely resonate with men in their 40s.

The tune is so memorable you’ll pick it up after just one listen, and its straightforward structure makes it easy to sing.

When you try it at karaoke, aim to savor each word of the lyrics as you sing.

Wulfuls is the rock band that gives everyone a boost, right? “Eenennen” was created to celebrate the return of John B.

Chopper, who had left the band for a time.

It’s guaranteed to hit home for men in their 40s in middle management! It’s a number that lets you blow off steam by singing it at karaoke while also encouraging those who listen.
