I'll wait.Amin50rank/position

A song by the female duo Aming, released in 1982.

They entered that year’s Popcon with this song and won the Grand Prix.

“Matsu Wa” became a huge hit, ranking No.

1 in Oricon’s annual sales for 1982, and they also appeared on the Kohaku Uta Gassen.

With its easy-to-remember melody and no extreme ups and downs in pitch, it’s very easy to sing.

[60s] Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing Ranking [2025] (51–60)

Shiretoko Ryojo (Shiretoko Travel Sentiment)Tokiko Kato51rank/position

The original song was written by Hisaya Morishige, who was both an actor and a singer, and was released in 1960.

The Tokiko Kato version introduced here was included on her 1970 album “Nihon Aikashu” (Collection of Japanese Laments) and was released as a single the following year.

As a song sometimes noted for having an opening melody similar to “Soushunfu” (Early Spring Score), it features a very easy-to-sing melody reminiscent of songs you might find in a school music textbook—what are often called Ministry of Education songs.

Along with Kato’s consistently calm vocal delivery, it’s a piece that’s very easy to remember and sing.

Throughout, please sing gently and softly.

The key to making it sound good is to relax and sing without forcing it.

Dream GuideMomoe Yamaguchi52rank/position

Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary idol who left behind many timeless hits.

If you’re in your 60s, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard her voice.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend for being both exciting and easy to sing is Yumesaki Annainin (Dream Guide).

It’s a bright, quintessentially Showa-era tune, yet the vocal line is very simple, with no phrases that require complex pitch movements.

If you want to liven things up with a song brimming with classic Showa charm, definitely add this one to your repertoire.

Anemone flaccida (nirinsō; literally “two-flowered anemone”)Miyuki Kawanaka53rank/position

Nirinso / Miyuki Kawanaka with Lyrics
Futarinso River, Miyuki Kawauchi

This is one of Miyuki Kawanaka’s signature songs, released as a single in 1998.

It won the Excellent Work Award and the Arrangement Award at the 40th Japan Record Awards.

A duet version was also released, and she has performed this song at the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen five times.

With its gentle, easy-to-follow rhythm, it’s a fun song to sing at karaoke.

With a fiery heartAkira Kobayashi54rank/position

This is a single released by Akira Kobayashi in 1985, with lyrics by Yū Aku and music composed by Eiichi Ohtaki.

The song was used in a commercial for Ajinomoto General Foods (AGF) “Maxim,” and it won the Gold Award at the 28th Japan Record Awards.

It is a powerful track supported particularly by men and is regarded as one of Kobayashi’s signature songs.

Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band55rank/position

Kai Band – Street Corner of Betrayal
Street Corner of Betrayal - Kai Band

The rock band Kai Band gained popularity with their catchy lyrics, thematic depth, and wide musical range.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Uragiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).

Among Kai Band’s tracks, this song has one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

Because of that, it’s very easy to sing even for people in their 60s who may struggle to hit higher notes.

At after-parties and karaoke, your throat can take a beating, so if you want something easier to sing, definitely give this one a try.

festivalSaburō Kitajima56rank/position

Saburo Kitajima “Matsuri” (Official Audio)
Festival Kitajima Saburō

A song that powerfully sings of the spirit of Japan’s festival culture was released by Saburo Kitajima in November 1984.

It beautifully expresses gratitude to the mountain and sea deities, traditions passed from parent to child, and the passion of men.

The song was performed a total of six times on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen up to 2013, serving as the grand finale five of those times.

In 2014, it was also used in Suzuki’s New Year sales campaign commercial, making it beloved by a wide audience.

With its powerful vocals, moving melody, and the universally relatable fervor of festivals, this is a song that’s perfect for belting out at karaoke.
