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

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!

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.

The Bride of SetoRumiko Koyanagi
A local song set in the Seto Inland Sea, released in 1972.
It was a perfect fit for Rumiko Koyanagi’s image as a pure, wholesome idol at the time.
Its gentle, nostalgic melody makes it appealing for everyone to hum along together.
Farewell, Siberian RailwayHiromi Ohta
Hiromi Ohta, the female singer known for songs like “Cotton Handkerchief.” Because many people have the impression that her voice is high, some may assume her songs are difficult to sing.
That’s why I recommend “Farewell Siberian Railway.” This piece features a very refined, understated melody and is set within a fairly narrow vocal range.
With its strong Showa-era kayōkyoku essence, the vocal line rises and falls gently, making it easier to sing.
The Wind RisesSeiko Matsuda
Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs.
While “Kaze Tachinu” is a somewhat lesser-known track, it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Its relaxed tempo and a vocal line without intricate pitch fluctuations are appealing; although the melody is relatively high, anyone can sing it easily with the right key adjustment.
If there’s one point to watch out for, it’s the pre-chorus (the B section).
Because it features a high phrase with a relatively wide upward pitch movement, you’ll need to consciously track the pitch carefully.
Listening to OliviaAnri
Singer-songwriter Anri, who continues to captivate fans with her urban sensibility and an unforgettable, striking voice, made her debut with the single “Olivia o Kiki Nagara” (Listening to Olivia).
The song has been covered by numerous musicians and is now beloved as a standard number.
Its tempo is quite relaxed and the melodic range isn’t very wide, making it a great choice even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
It’s a timeless track especially suited for people in their 60s who likely spent their youth around its 1978 release.
era; age; time; periodMiyuki Nakajima
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing here is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used in many TV show theme songs and commercials, and has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have likely heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known track, both the melody and the lyrics are very memorable, and it’s the kind of song you can enjoy singing casually, almost like humming along.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.
A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyMomoe Yamaguchi
Written and composed by Shinji Tanimura, this song also became Momoe Yamaguchi’s biggest hit.
It was released in 1978.
The melody’s pitch rises and falls gently, and the overall feel is relaxed, so I think it’s easy to sing.
Above all, it’s such a famous song that probably everyone knows it, which makes it great for singing together.
