[Women in their 60s] Karaoke-era songs that resonate comfortably even with a low voice (1–10)
Stars on EarthNEW!Nakajima Miyuki
Nakajima Miyuki’s masterpiece Chijou no Hoshi, brimming with overwhelming power.
It’s also famous as the theme song for NHK’s popular program “Project Q.” Although its strong, forceful melody is striking, the vocal range is surprisingly modest at mid1 F# to hi A#.
Because there isn’t much pitch movement, I think it’s extremely easy to sing.
Women in their 60s with lower voices might even try adding some shouts.
However, precisely because the pitch shifts are gentle, you’ll need to create dynamics purely with vocal volume, so it may feel a bit demanding physically.
A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyNEW!Yamaguchi Momoe
The classic “Ii Hi Tabidachi” (A Good Day to Travel), written and composed by Shinji Tanimura for Momoe Yamaguchi, features a wonderfully evocative melody that distills the charm of kayōkyoku.
While its range is somewhat broad at mid1 E to high C, it isn’t top-heavy; rather, the strong low notes make the overall range wider.
Because of this, it should be quite singable even for women in their 60s.
In the chorus, the pitch moves up and down rather sharply, so be mindful of that as you sing.
Lingering SnowNEW!iruka
Nagori Yuki is one of Japan’s most iconic folk songs.
While Iruka’s version is the most famous, did you know it was originally a Kaguya-hime song? This time we’ll focus on Iruka’s rendition, whose vocal range is consolidated into a narrow span of mid1 D to mid2 G—manageable for virtually any female singer.
From a range standpoint, even women in their 60s shouldn’t find it difficult.
However, for a folk song, the dynamics are quite dramatic, so it’s important to clearly vary your volume between softer and louder passages.
I’m falling in love with you againNEW!Sakamoto Fuyumi
It was the CM song for Sanwa Shurui’s “iichiko Hita Zenkoji.” Back then, the chorus especially stuck with me, but since Fuyumi Sakamoto had always given me a “hardcore enka” impression, I was truly surprised when I found out she was the one singing “Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru.” Her casual style when performing the song also really shocked me.
The vocal range for this piece is F3–B4.
The melody is structured so that the range gradually rises toward the chorus, and the A melody sits quite low, so when you sing, if you project your voice forward as if pushing it out in front of you, your vocal cords will resonate well.
The chorus might feel a bit high too, but if you keep the same image of projecting your voice and add more drive as the pitch rises, you should be able to sing it comfortably!
Jindo MonogatariNEW!Tendō Yoshimi
Yoshimi Tendo is a leading female enka singer from Osaka.
Despite her small stature, she possesses an astonishingly powerful voice and has created many masterpieces with her exceptional vocal skills.
Among her songs, “Jindo Monogatari” is especially recommended for women in their 60s.
Its vocal range is a typical mid1G to hiC, and the contrast between the gentle A and B sections and the powerful chorus is captivating.
The falsetto near the end of the chorus is somewhat challenging, so if you find that part difficult, you might consider lowering the key with that section as your reference.
Listening to OliviaNEW!Anri
Anri, who debuted in the late 1970s and sparked a boom of female singer-songwriters.
She has many famous songs, but perhaps the most well-known is Olivia wo Kikinagara.
Released in 1978, this track would have come out when today’s women in their 60s were in their late teens to early twenties, so it’s likely quite nostalgic for many.
Though the melody is both wistful and grand, the vocal range is narrow—mid2 A# to hi B—so it’s unexpectedly easy to sing.
Personally, I think it’s the kind of song that’s really fun with plenty of reverb, so definitely give it a try!
Come, spring.NEW!Matsutōya Yumi
This song was specially written as the theme for the NHK morning drama series “Haru yo, Koi,” and it became a million-seller, topping the Oricon charts.
I absolutely love the intro—no matter how many times I listen, the sense of longing comes through and it makes my heart ache every time.
Speaking of Yumi Matsutoya’s songs, they’re known for having a narrow vocal range, which makes them perfect for people with lower voices or those who can’t hit high notes! Especially for those in their 60s, there should be many songs that feel very familiar.
In “Haru yo, Koi,” the overall vocal range is F3 to G#4, which I think is just right for singing in chest voice.
Also, since it’s not an aggressive song, if chest voice is difficult, it’s fine to sing gently with a falsetto-like tone.
