Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025]: 50s (21–30)
threadMiyuki Nakajima29rank/position
“Ito” is a song sung by every generation.
It was released in 1992, but it’s often used at weddings and in TV dramas, making it a ballad loved across generations.
The vocal range isn’t very wide—F3 to A#4—centered in the midrange, with the low notes being key.
If you sing it in a speaking voice, you’ll end up straining your throat, so aim to sing with a proper singing voice.
The tempo is very slow, so stay calm and take a breath at the end of each phrase.
Instead of “pushing out your voice,” focus on “using your breath” to project forward.
In fact, every consonant in the Japanese ha-row (ha, hi, fu, he, ho) uses breath in its articulation.
If you try singing everything with the “ha” sound for clarity, you might grasp the feeling of “Oh, so this is what it means to use breath!” Give it a try as a reference.
B-BlueBOØWY30rank/position
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.
Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025] for People in Their 50s (31–40)
MPRINCESS PRINCESS31rank/position
One of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s signature songs, passionately singing about the pain of heartbreak.
The sense of loss after losing a lover, paired with the strength to keep looking forward, rides on the members’ earnest vocals and strikes straight to the heart.
Included on the 1988 album “LET’S GET CRAZY” and released as a single the following year, the song was also featured in NHK’s morning drama “Dan Dan,” and is beloved across generations.
It’s a track that resonates not only when you want to get fired up at karaoke, but also when you need to soothe the wounds of a broken heart.
It might be nice to sing it together while reminiscing about a love from the past.
Lullaby of the Holy MothersHiromi Iwasaki32rank/position
It was the ending theme for the two-hour drama “Tuesday Suspense Theater,” which aired for many years.
After watching the suspense and the various human dramas woven into it, hearing Hiromi Iwasaki’s truly Madonna-like singing voice brings a sense of comfort, doesn’t it? Please try singing with a gentle, Madonna-like voice, just like Hiromi Iwasaki!
Love Doesn't Stop ~Turn It Into Love~Wink33rank/position
A gemlike love song that captures the bittersweet feelings everyone experiences at least once—the unstoppable stirrings of romance that sprout from friendship.
Released in November 1988 and gaining attention as the theme song for the drama “I Want to Chase You!”, the track reached No.
1 on the Oricon chart the following year, selling approximately 645,000 copies.
With a swelling premonition of love in one’s heart and emotions that can’t be contained even after learning the other person already has a partner, this timeless classic speaks to all who resonate with that poignant ache.
Unstoppable ha~haEikichi Yazawa34rank/position
Eikichi Yazawa, affectionately known as Eikichi “Ei-chan,” is still going strong as a full-fledged rock star in the 2020s.
His concerts are famous for the electric atmosphere—like the iconic “Ei-chan call”—and equally famous is the “towel throw.” Even people who aren’t particularly into Yazawa’s music have at least heard about fans tossing towels, right? The song that gave birth to this “towel throw” tradition is Stoppenai Ha~Ha (Can’t Stop Ha~Ha), released in 1986.
Its tight beat, hard-driving guitars, and instantly memorable hooks make it easy to imagine the live crowd going wild just by listening.
Naturally, it’s a surefire hit at karaoke gatherings for people in their 50s, so try recreating the Yazawa world by everyone twirling towels—within reason so you don’t bother those around you!
Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS35rank/position
When I want to let off steam, there’s a song I feel like singing at karaoke.
THE BLUE HEARTS’ “Rose of Passion” is the perfect pick for times like that.
Since its 1990 release, this number has transcended eras and deeply resonates with people in their 50s.
It not only evokes youthful days but also continues to give us energy that never fades.
It’s exhilarating to belt out from the heart, and its familiarity makes it easy for everyone to sing along together—an ideal recommendation when you’re unsure what to choose at karaoke.
With punk drive coexisting with melodic appeal, even those not well-versed in music can enjoy it with ease.
