Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (71–80)
teacherMasako Mori
It was released in 1972 as Masako Mori’s debut single.
The lyrics were written by Yū Aku and the music was composed by Minoru Endo, and despite being her debut song, it became her biggest hit.
At the 14th Japan Record Awards, she won the Newcomer Award, and she made her first appearance at the 24th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
SWEET MEMORIESSeiko Matsuda
Seiko Matsuda’s classic “SWEET MEMORIES.” Because it’s still covered by many artists today, it’s loved not only by women in their 60s but also by younger generations.
It’s also a very easy song to sing.
While it may give the impression of being somewhat high, its vocal range isn’t actually that wide.
The melodic rises and falls are relatively gentle, so even those who struggle with pitch should be able to sing it smoothly.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
BirdsongKaoru Sugita
A song produced as an insert track for the drama Ikemaka Genta 80 Kilos (starring Toshiyuki Nishida), featuring Kaoru Sugita—who broke out playing Yukino Asai in the first series of the smash-hit drama Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B—released in June 1981.
It’s said that a version sung by Toshiyuki Nishida was also used in the same drama.
As is characteristic of early ’80s pop songwriting, this track sits somewhere between Showa-era kayōkyoku and new music, and when you listen now, it’s built around a very nostalgic, approachable melody.
For some people, the B melody—the chorus—may be a bit demanding in the higher range, so be mindful of the key you choose and focus on singing the melody straightforwardly.

EnchantedJudy Ong
It was released in 1979 as Judy Ongg’s 28th single.
According to Oricon’s tally, it sold 1.
23 million copies and became one of her signature songs.
The white dress that spread like a fan from hem to wrist when she extended her arms became a hot topic, and the song won the Grand Prize at the 21st Japan Record Awards.
It has also been covered by many artists and is frequently sung at karaoke.
Please give me wingsRed bird
A song released by the folk group Red Bird on February 5, 1971, as the B-side to “Takeda no Komoriuta.” Later, after Shoji Hashimoto of the textbook publisher Kyoiku Geijutsu Sha included it in school textbooks, it became well-known as a choral piece and began to be frequently featured in educational settings from the late 1970s.
For that reason, in Japan it’s a beloved song familiar to people of all ages—something nearly everyone can sing.
Many of you reading this may also have performed it in your school choir competitions.
Because its melody and lyrics are likely recognizable to almost anyone, even those who’ve grown distant from singing as adults may find it easy to add to their karaoke repertoire.
Please enjoy singing it as you reminisce about your elementary and junior high school days!
Equator Girl: Dokki!Kumiko Yamashita
One of Kumiko Yamashita’s signature songs, ‘Equator Girl Doki!,’ features a sound that blends techno kayō with rock elements.
Its catchy musical style made it a major hit in the 1980s.
Although the song has a bright feel and might seem somewhat high, its overall vocal range isn’t very wide.
Additionally, there are very few long sustained notes, so even those who aren’t confident in their breathing or stamina can sing it without trouble.
If you enjoy upbeat tracks, consider adding this one to your repertoire.
Season of LovePinky and the Killers
Pinky and the Killers’ debut single, released in July 1968.
It was a massive hit that sold a total of 2.
7 million copies.
The melody and lyrics have that quintessential “Showa Kayō!!!” feel—really striking, aren’t they? I think it’s a hallmark of hits from that era: if you try to sing them earnestly, exactly as written, they demand very high vocal ability, yet at the same time, if you’re just humming along and tracing the melody, they often feel quite easy.
This song is no exception.
In the chorus—well, more like the B-melody—the bright, resonant high notes are crucial.
Paying attention to your vocal production there and keeping it from sounding weak is the key to making it come across well.
