Recommended for women in their 60s! Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs

Karaoke is popular across all ages, and of course many women in their 60s also have plenty of chances to go.

But when you actually get to the karaoke place, do you ever find yourself wondering which songs to sing? If you’re thinking, “I don’t really know recent songs, and to be honest I’m not that good at singing…,” I’ll share some recommended tracks for you! I’ve selected songs that seem easy to sing, focusing mainly on tracks from around the 1970s—the era when many people in their 60s spent their youth.

If you’re not confident about karaoke, songs with a slow tempo are recommended.

Some of the songs are more challenging, but they’re all well-known, so for the difficult ones, let’s sing together with everyone!

Recommended for women in their 60s! Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs (91–100)

SOLITUDEAkina Nakamori

“SOLITUDE” is a song that blends urban sophistication with elegance, and its lyrics depicting a city woman became a hot topic.

It’s easy to see why, given that the lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa and the music was composed by Yukihide Takakawa of Godiego.

Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice, which is truly stunning.

The lyrics evoke the image of a deserted upper floor of a skyscraper, resonating perfectly when you feel like escaping somewhere alone.

The song has many relatively singable parts, making it approachable even for male vocalists.

It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.

I recommend humming it at least once.

teacherMasako Mori

Masako Mori - Sensei (1986-06-29)
Ms. Masako Mori

Although it was Masako Mori’s debut single, “Sensei” is also known as one of her signature songs.

Its nostalgic, simple melody that evokes the mood of Showa-era pop, along with lyrics about a tender, secret crush on a teacher from a young girl’s perspective, leave a strong impression.

The tempo is easy to follow, making it a great recommendation for seniors to sing at karaoke! If you include this song in a day-service karaoke activity, you could spice it up with hand clapping to build excitement and add call-and-response parts in the chorus.

the first strong spring windCandies

As a song that heralds the arrival of spring to the heart, you hear it in various places whenever the seasons change.

This track by Candies was released in March 1976 and became a major hit, ranking 21st on the Oricon year-end chart.

By the time of their farewell concert, it had sold a total of 490,000 copies.

Its charm lies in a melody that enhances a positive mood along with a refreshing sense of the season, and the catchy chorus—hinting at the start of a new romance—rekindles excitement no matter when you listen.

When you feel like welcoming spring, why not try singing it at karaoke?

Miserarete by Judy Ongg

Judy Ongg’s mysterious aura and curtain-like costume also became a hot topic.

It often appeared as a parody in the skits on “It’s 8 O’Clock! Everyone Assemble!” For karaoke, I think you’ll need to prepare for the English lines in the chorus.

People who aren’t good at English should be careful.

There are also many non-lexical parts like “Ahh” and “Uhhm.” It’s best to sing it in a way that doesn’t get too sexy.

Forget-me-not to youChieko Baisho

The forget-me-not’s flower language is literally “Please don’t forget me.” The lyrics of this song are very profound.

They can be interpreted as a love story, the sorrow of war, or about friends and parents.

As you grow older, you will experience many sad farewells and joyful encounters.

In such times, singing this song may soothe your heart.

It’s a highly recommended piece that you can truly sing only after you’ve gained some years.

Gypsy QueenAkina Nakamori

[With Lyrics] Gypsy Queen / Akina Nakamori
Gypsy Queen Akina Nakamori

Akina Nakamori’s 1986 release “Gypsy Queen” features a distinctive, exotic-sounding arrangement and is easy to tackle at karaoke.

With a clear, translucent voice, the progression from the A verse to the B verse settles while evoking a poignant ache that stirs the heart.

Nakamori’s singing and expressive power are on full display, creating an exceptional melody, and the enveloping chorus is truly breathtaking.

The vocal range is comfortable for men as well, so if you’ve been wanting to try singing Nakamori’s songs, this is a great one to start with.

Poppy Flower / Agnes Chan (Agnes Chan/Chen Meiling)
Poppy Flower Agnes Chan

This is the Japanese debut song of Agnes Chan, who came from Hong Kong.

The song begins with her high voice, and even back then it was often imitated.

It has a gentle, folk-song-like feel, and I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

If you can, try doing an impression of Agnes as well.
