[In their 60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025] (41–50)
You are more beautiful than a rose.Akira Fuse50rank/position
I bet even people in their twenties have heard the chorus.
Akira Fuse’s “Kimi wa Bara yori Utsukushii” is one of his signature songs, known for its soaring, glamorous melody.
It’s sure to liven up any karaoke session, but it’s also a very challenging song to sing.
Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2025] for People in Their 60s (51–60)
First loveKozo Murashita51rank/position
Kozo Murashita was a singer-songwriter who gained popularity for his highly original musical style that mixed New Music and folk songs.
Many men in their 60s were likely captivated by his melodic sensibility, which conveyed smoothness even within a kayōkyoku-like flow.
His song “Hatsukoi” is his biggest hit number.
Although its range is narrow, from mid1 F to mid2 G#, the chorus requires singing the high notes on the “tsu” consonant, so lowering the key by one step from your optimal key will likely give you the most stable pitch.
The season the sun gave usBlue triangular ruler52rank/position
Released in 1972 as a single by Aoi Sankakujōgi, it was chosen as the theme song for the youth drama “Tobidase! Seishun” and became a hit, selling over 800,000 copies.
The song is also included in elementary and junior high school music textbooks, and it is said to continue being sung by students across generations.
It’s catchy and energetic—perfect for livening up a karaoke session.
The Bride SambaHiromi Go53rank/position
It’s been loved for many years as a wedding song classic, hasn’t it? “Oyome Samba,” released as a single in 1981.
It features a lively, mood-lifting style and Hiromi Go’s vibrant vocals.
Some of you might even say it’s already your go-to karaoke number.
Though it has an upbeat vibe and sounds like it’s in a higher range, it’s actually surprisingly low.
If you want to liven up a big group karaoke session, this is the first song I’d recommend!
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band54rank/position
The Kai Band, a group that gained popularity with a distinctive musicality that blends elements of Japanese kayōkyoku into rock.
Many men in their 60s were likely drawn to their unadorned, rugged sound.
Among Kai Band’s songs, one I particularly recommend is “Uragiri no Machikado” (Street Corner of Betrayal).
The song spans mid1 C# to hi A#, which is somewhat wide, but since the average pitch is quite low, anyone who can produce brief mid-to-high notes should be able to sing it without issue.
However, because there are relatively few rests compared to the many long tones, it’s necessary to make adjustments—such as lowering the key slightly or tucking the chin—to avoid over-projecting your voice.
Yokohama TwilightHiroshi Itsuki55rank/position
This was mood kayō/enka singer Hiroshi Itsuki’s debut single, released in March 1971.
With this song, Mr.
Itsuki won numerous awards, including the Vocalist Award at the 13th Japan Record Awards and the Broadcast Music Award at the 2nd Japan Kayō Awards, and he also made his first appearance at the 22nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
It’s truly a classic of the Shōwa era and one of the quintessential local songs of Yokohama.
Melodically, it’s very easy to sing and to hum casually, so I think the key to delivering this song well comes down to how you handle the spacing between the words in the lyrics.
Ride the pleasant rhythm and try singing while cherishing each and every word of the lyrics.
Yoko of the Port, Yokohama, YokosukaDown Town Boogie Woogie Band56rank/position
This song captivates with lyrics that unfold like a spoken narrative and a rock sound rooted in the blues.
Set in the two port towns of Yokohama and Yokosuka, its story of a man searching for a missing woman poignantly captures his sorrow, leaving a deep impression on listeners.
Incorporating the American talking blues style crafted by Ryudo Uzaki, its innovative arrangement favors speaking over singing, bringing a fresh breeze to the music scene of the time.
Since its release in April 1975, the work spent five consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
With a recitative, storytelling delivery, it’s a song that even those lacking confidence in their vocal technique can enjoy performing.
Why not let yourself drift with its unhurried flow and sing while picturing the scenery of the harbor towns?
