For women in their 60s: Karaoke songs that score well | Classic nostalgic hits (1–10)
The way homeHiromi Iwasaki
Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Ieji” (The Way Home).
Her voice has had a pleasantly mature timbre since her youth, and it particularly shines in lyrical songs like this.
The song’s range spans mid1 E to hi C#, which is fairly common for female vocals.
The tail end of the chorus requires a bit of lung capacity, so be sure to take a deep breath at the preceding break point before singing through it.
This section has a similar vibe to Shizuka Kudo’s “Koi Hitoyo,” so intentionally singing with a lighter touch can also work well.
Roppongi HeartbreakAnn Lewis
Ann Lewis’s signature song “Roppongi Shinju.” A rock number that symbolizes the bubble era, it became a nationwide hit, helped by its strikingly mismatched title pairing Roppongi with “double suicide.” Notably, the song has a very narrow vocal range, with the lowest note at mid2 D and the highest at hi A.
While the nature of the rock style calls for a slightly raspy, shouted delivery, the narrow range and mid-tempo BPM make it an excellent choice for aiming at high karaoke scores.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Mr. SummertimeCircus
Circus’s signature song “Mr.
Summertime,” a Japanese cover of Michel Fugain & Le Big Bazar’s classic “Une Belle Histoire.” Although it’s often categorized as city pop, the original belongs to variety music with strong classical elements, giving the entire piece a moody atmosphere.
Surprisingly, the vocal range spans from mid1B to hiD.
For a typical song, that range would be considered quite challenging, but this piece remains very singable thanks to its sparse lyrics and relaxed tempo.
While mid1B is relatively low, women in their 60s would still have room to lower the key, so it’s recommended to set the key with the high notes as the main reference.
Dream GuideMomoe Yamaguchi
Momoe Yamaguchi has left us with many classic songs, but when it comes to the track that most embodies the Showa era, many people probably picture Yumesaki Annainin.
Wrapped in a nostalgic Showa-kayo melody, this piece—characteristic of its time—uses a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 E to hi A#.
Because this range is also common in male-vocal songs, even women in their 60s, whose voices may be harder to project with age, should be able to sing it without issue.
The lyrics flow smoothly, the tempo is relaxed, and the pitch movement is gentle, making it an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Don't give up on your dreamsTakako Okamura
After flourishing as a member of Amin and later achieving great success as a solo singer, Takako Okamura is widely recognized for her signature song “Yume wo Akiramenai de” (“Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams”).
Many may perceive this piece as high in pitch, especially given Okamura’s vocal timbre; however, it actually spans a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to hi C#.
Since it’s neither particularly low nor high, it offers considerable flexibility for key adjustments, and its relaxed tempo makes it easier to maintain rhythm.
Marilyn in 1986Minako Honda
Minako Honda, who gained popularity with a singing ability you wouldn’t expect from an idol, is still highly regarded by some fans for her vocal performances even after her passing.
Her signature song “Marilyn in 1986” is actually one of the least difficult pieces among her works.
As evidence, it sits within a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to high C#.
The most frequent notes are in the low-to-mid register, so singers of virtually any voice type should be able to handle it without issue.
The vocal line is very gentle, and the mid-tempo pace makes it easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Message of RougeYumi Matsutoya
Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.
The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.
Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.
It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
