[60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025] (21–30)
Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima22rank/position
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Chijō no Hoshi” has earned support across a wide range of generations.
While the song is memorable for its incredibly powerful, almost growling vocals, the actual pitch movement isn’t that extreme.
The vocal range is compact, from mid1F to hiA#, and at BPM 100 the tempo is also relaxed.
Even so, the song achieves that level of impact not only through Nakajima’s singing style but also thanks to its strong composition.
Adding a shout at the opening lines brings you closer to the intensity of the original, so if you want to really heat up the karaoke room, try incorporating shouts and give it a shot.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenEigo Kawashima23rank/position
Even men who always act cool sometimes feel like letting loose and forgetting everything.
“Sake, Tears, Men and Women,” which captures those feelings, was Eigo Kawashima’s solo debut single released in 1976.
Originally, it was included on the debut album Jinrui (Humanity), released in 1975 by the group Eigo Kawashima & Homo Sapiens, to which Kawashima belonged.
Men in their sixties who have tasted both the bitter and the sweet of life may also have things they’d rather forget, just like in this song.
At times like that, sing this tune and let it all out!
Let yourself go with the flow of timeTeresa Teng24rank/position
When it comes to iconic adult romantic ballads that portray the aching emotions of a woman, this song is indispensable.
Released in 1986, it is known as one of Teresa Teng’s signature works, beloved not only in Japan but across Asia.
Its delicate emotional expression, carried by a gentle, unhurried melody, resonates with many listeners and has become a karaoke staple.
In a 2010 popularity survey conducted by Teresa Teng’s foundation, the Chinese version ranked second, demonstrating its enduring appeal over the years.
The fact that many artists, including Faye Wong and Jackie Chan, have covered the song further attests to its lasting charm.
Pink sighMariko Takahashi25rank/position
Mariko Takahashi’s classic “Momoiro Toiki.” It features a distinctly exotic melody and, while it carries elements of mood kayō (mood enka), it also incorporates contemporary J-pop characteristics.
The piece sits within a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 G# to high C.
Since the most frequent pitch is around mid2 G#, most women should be able to sing it without difficulty.
As the song prioritizes mood, it’s recommended to sing with careful dynamics.
If a phrase ends with a consonant, letting it fade out as a voiceless sound can be an effective touch.
TokyoTakajin Yashiki26rank/position
Released in March 1993, this mood-kayō song fuses tearful enka with sophisticated urban pop.
Through Kansai-dialect lyrics, it movingly portrays a romance and breakup with a man she met in Tokyo, along with her complex feelings toward the city.
Takajin Yashiki was an artist who was active mainly in the Kansai region, also serving as a host of the popular program “Sei! Young.” This piece became a hit as requests on cable radio surged, ultimately selling a total of 600,000 copies.
In live performances, he would sometimes change the place name in the chorus to match the concert location, valuing a sense of unity with the audience.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s recommended to sing at an easy, relaxed pace while thinking of your hometown and the special people you’ve met.
Until we meet againKiyohiko Ozaki27rank/position
Released in March 1971, this song is known as Kiyohiko Ozaki’s signature work.
Its lyrics, depicting a scene of a couple resolved to part ways, resonated with many people.
Chosen as the entrance march for the 44th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in 1972, it has continued to be cherished across generations.
The piece offers comfortable pitch and tempo, making it easy to sing even for men in their 60s.
When performing it at karaoke, why not convey the depth of Ozaki’s sentiments while expressing mature judgment and a mutual understanding of hearts?
The Bride of SetoRumiko Koyanagi28rank/position
It was released in 1972 as Rumiko Koyanagi’s fourth single.
This song is highly popular as a representative local tune of the Seto Inland Sea, and its lyrics depict the scene and feelings of a bride moving to a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, along with her determination for a new life.
It is one of Rumiko Koyanagi’s signature songs, having won the Grand Prize at the 3rd Japan Kayō Awards.
