[For men in their 70s] A collection of easy-to-sing songs even for the tone-deaf (1–10)
Be my bride.Yuzo Kayama
For men in their 70s, the Showa-era star Yuzo Kayama is someone everyone has probably admired at least once.
He was hugely successful not only as an actor but also as an artist.
He’s left behind many classic songs, and among them, the one I especially recommend is O-Yome ni Oide (Come Be My Bride).
Its Hawaiian-influenced melody is striking.
Although the song may feel fast overall, the vocal line moves at a relaxed pace, so when you actually sing it, you’ll likely find the rhythm easy to follow.
Plus, because the song has a narrow vocal range, anyone can sing it easily as long as the key is adjusted properly.
Oh, sake!Ikuzo Yoshi
With lyrics that touch the heart and a rich, resonant voice, this is a masterpiece that sings of life’s subtleties.
Reflecting on life through the lens of alcohol, the lyrics depict past memories and emotional wounds, leaving a powerful impression on listeners.
Yoshii Ikuzo’s distinctive timbre and expressive singing further enhance the song’s appeal.
Released in 1988, this piece remains one of his signature works, beloved by many.
Its range isn’t wide and it’s easy to sing, so take your time and perform it with deep passion.
There's always tomorrowKyu Sakamoto
A famous song widely known among younger generations thanks to Re:Japan’s cover, “Ashita ga Arusa” is, needless to say, a classic by Kyu Sakamoto.
Among his hit numbers, this one is exceptionally easy to sing.
Proof of that lies in the very few long notes and its narrow vocal range.
The rhythm is set in the familiar 4/4 time for Japanese listeners, so you won’t feel uneasy about the entrance.
Men in their 70s who struggle with high notes should definitely give this song a try.
Love only for youThe Tigers
The Tigers were a Group Sounds band whose musical style was strongly influenced by the Liverpool sound, such as the Beatles.
For men in their 70s, they’re a perfect-fit band.
Their hit number here is “Kimi Dake ni Ai o” (“Love Only for You”).
While it features a Liverpool-style rock sound, it also retains the singability of Japanese pop.
It is characterized by a generally narrow vocal range and an easy-to-follow rhythm.
Among the songs introduced this time, this one has an especially narrow range, so be sure to give it a try.
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band
Kai Band is a group beloved by a wide range of generations, from people in their 70s down to their 40s.
They’re a rock band that’s especially popular among men.
Among their works, the one I particularly recommend is Uwagiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).
As one of their early releases, it stands out for its strong folk-music influences.
Since it’s sung in a generally low key throughout, it’s very easy to sing for men in their 70s who can’t reach higher notes.
Give it a try.
I look up as I walkKyu Sakamoto
Kyu Sakamoto is one of Japan’s most iconic singers.
Among his works, the most famous “Ue o Muite Arukou” (known internationally as “Sukiyaki”) continues to be loved by the Japanese public today.
There are many reasons for its enduring popularity, and its singability is certainly one of them.
Despite its bright, catchy melody, the rhythm is easy to follow and the vocal range isn’t wide, so even men in their 70s who find high notes difficult can sing it with ease.
If you want to sing it even better, try performing with a cheerful smile.
It’s not just about the mood—lifting the corners of your mouth blends an “ee” (i) quality into every vowel, making your voice sound more joyful and adding a natural accent to your singing.
Using this technique will make you sound more professional, so give it a try.
Bang, bang, bangThe Spiders
I think many men in their 70s are very familiar with early rock ’n’ roll and the Group Sounds era.
With that in mind, I recommend “Ban Ban Ban.” It’s a famous song by The Spiders that still gets used in the media today.
This track is notable for its classic rock ’n’ roll sound and has virtually no sustained long notes.
Plus, the vocal range is narrow, so as long as you keep the rhythm steady, anyone should be able to sing it well.
