Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025]: 60s (81–90)
My chest hurts.Ukadan85rank/position
When talking about the blues scene in Osaka, you can’t avoid mentioning the band YUKADAN.
Their vocalist, Atsuki Kimura, is known as having an “angelic raspy voice”—literally raspy, yet warm and gently embracing in its tone.
Their hit number Mune ga Itai (“My Heart Hurts”) showcases exactly that.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, but emulating Kimura’s powerful rasp is extremely difficult.
Aiming for a high score is easier if you focus on accurate pitch and sing in a way that suits your own voice.
Gatchaman SongMasato Shimon86rank/position
A classic song representing Showa-era anime hero series, it has captivated many with its exhilarating, fast-paced melody and grand lyrics.
The song leaves a strong impression with its sense of duty to protect the peace of the Earth and its portrayal of fighting with courage and passion.
Masato Shimon’s powerful vocals further elevate the work’s epic worldview.
Released as a single in October 1972, it was first used as the ending theme for the TV anime.
From episode 23, it was changed to the opening theme, becoming the series’ iconic track.
It has been included in numerous compilation albums and is hailed as a milestone in the world of anime songs.
With its powerful vocals and up-tempo melody, it’s perfect for bringing everyone together at parties and gatherings.
Journey of the HeartTulip87rank/position
This song is the third single by Tulip, released on April 20, 1973.
It was reportedly created with the idea that the romance of train travel would resonate with listeners, taking inspiration from Norihiko Hashida & Climax’s “Hanayome” (The Bride).
The lead vocals were handled not by Zaitsuu, but by Tatsuya Himeno.
It’s a recommended track for those with a sweet, gentle voice.
I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA88rank/position
The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.
Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.
Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.
Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
I just can’t stopLinda Yamamoto89rank/position
Linda Yamamoto’s classic hit “Dōnimo Tomaranai.” Because the melody is crafted to feel energetic and sharp, I don’t think many people get the impression that this song is easy to sing.
However, surprisingly, the vocal line is put together in a very simple structure.
There are no long sustained notes either, so even if you can’t do vibrato, as long as you can keep time with the rhythm, anyone can sing it in a convincing way.
It’s an easy piece—definitely check it out.
festivalSaburō Kitajima90rank/position
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.
[In Their 60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025] (91–100)
Detective StoryHiroko Yakushimaru91rank/position
The classic film “Detective Story,” starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.
This piece was released as the movie’s theme song.
When it comes to Hiroko Yakushimaru’s vocals, her enveloping, gentle voice is distinctive, and this song showcases exactly that.
Overall, the vocal line has little fluctuation, and the range is kept relatively narrow.
It may feel slightly high, but you can handle that with key adjustment, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
