Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women in Their 60s That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)

Alone in the twilightYumi Matsutoya

Alone in the Twilight by Yumi Matsutoya

Yumi Matsutoya is a leading Japanese singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.

For women in their 50s, she might be the perfect artist.

She has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Hitori in the Twilight.” It features a vocal line that showcases her signature Yuming style, yet the melody doesn’t jump drastically up and down, so it’s relatively easy to keep pitch.

The chorus raises the voltage all at once, but the overall range isn’t that wide, so if you choose the right key, even those with lower voices should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Deceived by a guy like HiroshiMizue Takada

Mizue Takada is an idol singer who gained popularity in the late 1970s with her calm vocals.

Thanks to her musical style, many of her songs are easy to sing, but the one I especially recommend is “Sonna Hiroshi ni Damasarete.” It features a vibe somewhat close to surf music, yet the vocal line itself has gently contained pitch movement, making it very easy to sing.

There are quite a few long tones, but since they fade out, you should be able to sing them without needing much lung capacity.

Farewell SongMiyuki Nakajima

Miyuki Nakajima is a female singer-songwriter who has created many classic songs with lyrics that pierce the heart.

She has a wealth of famous tracks, but the one I especially recommend is Wakare Uta.

Though somewhat lesser-known, this piece is characterized by a melody that is particularly close to traditional kayōkyoku among her works.

Because of that, women in their 60s will likely find the vocal line especially familiar.

The vocal range is also relatively narrow, so even those who can’t hit high notes can sing it without difficulty.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit that won the Grand Prize at the 10th Japan Record Awards.

That same year, a film titled “Angel’s Temptation,” starring Mayuzumi and based on this song, was released by Shochiku, and her performance of the song in a miniskirt became a major topic of conversation at the time.

Fuyumi Sakamoto - Falling in Love with You Again

A gem of a love song by Fuyumi Sakamoto that gently portrays a rekindled romance blossoming between a long-married couple.

The serene melody and her emotive vocals weave a harmony that deeply resonates with listeners.

With warm, tender strokes, it depicts the precious affection found in everyday moments and gratitude for the many years overcome together.

Released in January 2009 as the coupling track to “Pirates of Asia,” the song also became beloved as the theme for Sanwa Shurui’s Mugi Shochu iichiko commercial.

It is included on the album “Love Songs ~ Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru ~,” and has earned support from a wide range of generations.

A recommended track for anyone wishing to rediscover the value of time spent with someone dear.

This is a single released by Chiyoko Shimakura in 1987, which was used as the theme song for TBS’s Kao Ai no Gekijō drama “Sandoshima.” It is Shimakura’s biggest hit and the song that is always used when people do impressions of her.

A beloved classic over many years, it also won the Best Vocal Performance at the 30th Japan Record Awards.
