Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 60s (31–40)

Can't Say Anything... SummerTHE JAYWALK

[Official] J-WALK “Speechless… Summer”
Speechless... Summer - THE JAYWALK

J-WALK has produced many classic songs.

Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large male fanbase.

I believe many men in their 50s were fans as well.

Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so singers of any range can handle it easily as long as the key is adjusted.

However, because the song contains many long tones, you’ll need to control your volume within the stamina limits of your diaphragm.

As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.

To the most important personTunnels

The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.

Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.

Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.

This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY

ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.

Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.

Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.

My Father's Longest DayMasashi Sada

Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.

Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.

Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.

The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?

Setting Sail SASURAIAkira Terao

Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).

It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.

There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.

Goodbye DayTakao Kisugi

Takao Kisugi is one of the composers who defined the 1980s.

He wrote numerous classic songs such as “Silhouette Romance” and “Slow Motion,” and for a time he was also active as a singer-songwriter.

Among Kisugi’s many works, the one I especially recommend is “Goodbye Day.” It’s a piece where his signature ‘Kisugi style’ is in full bloom, but on top of that, it has a smooth finish and a very singable vocal line with a narrow range.

There are plenty of long tones, but the melodic contours are very gentle, so a man in his 50s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

California ConnectionYutaka Mizutani

Actor Yutaka Mizutani has long been popular for his understated, nuanced performances.

Younger people may primarily associate him with “Aibou,” but for men in their 50s, his image as an artist might be just as strong.

Speaking of Mizutani’s classic songs, there’s “California Connection.” It’s a refined piece that exudes an adult atmosphere, built around a gently undulating vocal line with little dramatic fluctuation throughout.

The range is narrow and it doesn’t demand complex vocal techniques, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
