Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women in Their 60s That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)
SUNAHAMAAnri
For many women in their 50s, when you think of nostalgic female singer-songwriters, Anri likely comes to mind.
She has left us with many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is SUNAHAMA.
Though the vocal line has a ballad-like feel, it’s not overly mellow; it’s a blend of ennui and freshness, so there’s no need to belt it out.
The pitch changes are gentle, and there are plenty of rests, so you can sing it comfortably even at a second or third party gathering.

Let me stay for the night.Sachiko Kobayashi
It’s a classic Showa-era kayokyoku that has an enka flavor, with striking rock-style guitar solos and riffs.
“Hitoban Tometene,” released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1985, was composed by Katsuhiko Miki, who also worked on one of Kobayashi’s signature songs, “Moshikashite.” The overall key is on the lower side, and it’s the kind of song that expresses a sultry melody through the appeal of the low register, so it’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes.
The enka-style kobushi (ornamental turns) and vibrato are kept to a minimum, making it a great piece for beginners to enka to try!
Love VacationThe Peanuts
A classic that weaves the sweet memories of summer sun and love with a light, jazzy rhythm and the duo’s beautiful harmonies.
Its lyrics poetically depict lovers talking about love by the seaside, while its fresh arrangement brilliantly blends different musical genres.
After its release in April 1963, The Peanuts performed the song at the 14th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It was also used as the campaign song for Toray’s summer wear “Vacance Look,” helping popularize the word “vacance” in Japan.
The swingy four-beat rhythm is easy on the ears, making it a cheerful song to sing.
It’s a perfect pick for those who want to have fun and liven things up with friends.
You Are the One Who Rings That BellAkiko Wada
It was released in 1972 as Akiko Wada’s 11th single.
With lyrics written by Yū Aku, it became a major hit and won the Best Vocal Performance at the 14th Japan Record Awards.
She performed it six times on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and it remains one of Akiko Wada’s signature songs, enjoying immense popularity as a classic.
Kumano KodoKaori Mizumori
It was released in 2006 as Kaori Mizumori’s 14th single.
It reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and she made her fourth consecutive appearance at the 57th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, performing this song.
Thanks to the song’s success, the Kumano Kodo gained increased attention.
To my belovedMiyuki Kawanaka
Listening to the chorus of this song, many people who know the ’90s well probably recalled the TV commercial for House Foods’ instant ramen “Umaissho.” Released in 1994 as a single by Miyuki Kawanaka, it’s packed with J-pop flavor and sits a bit apart from classic enka, making it an approachable choice for karaoke even if you’re not into full-on enka.
Of course, techniques honed in enka—like vibrato—appear throughout, but it’s nice that the melody still feels great to sing even without vibrato.
Once you’re comfortable, listen closely to Kawanaka’s original performance and try gradually incorporating some vibrato.
Two-person sakeMiyuki Kawanaka
Miyuki Kawanaka’s classic “Futari Sake” is distinguished by its warm, memorable melody.
It’s an orthodox enka piece imbued with a sense of melancholy.
As with typical enka, the challenging kobushi ornament appears multiple times; however, roughly a third of these are not pitch-bending turns so much as kobushi that apply vibrato.
Because this type of kobushi is far easier than the regular kind, the song can definitely be considered an easy one.
Do add it to your repertoire.
