Karaoke songs easy to sing for men in their 60s, even for those who aren’t good at singing

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!
Music producer, composer, vocal coach, keyboard playerKei Takahata
From around 1995 to 2000, I built experience with a major label as a composer and producer. I then moved to the United States and studied voice and singing under Elizabeth Sabine, one of Los Angeles’s top vocal coaches, mastering the so-called Hollywood vocal technique advocated by Sabine. After returning to Japan, I have been involved in training and producing a variety of singers. My direction, which brings out the full appeal of both the music and the vocalist, is highly regarded. In the collaboration video with Vo. ryuichi of the band Guild below, I handled keyboards, vocal direction, and sound production.

Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing, recommended for men in their 60s (1–10)

outdatedEigo Kawashima

Jidai Okure (Behind the Times) Eigo Kawashima – Unofficial Video

Jidai Okure Kawashima Eigo

Singer-songwriter Eigo Kawashima, whose refined musicality earned him immense support from men.

For those in their 60s, he might be the perfect artist.

Kawashima produced many masterpieces, but the one I especially recommend is “Jidai Okure” (Behind the Times).

A no-nonsense piece portraying a man that men admire, it became a major hit in the 1980s.

What’s more, it’s a very singable song: the range is narrow, there are few long notes, and it doesn’t require much vibrato, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should be able to handle it without trouble.

homelessMasayuki Sera & Twist

"Homeless" Masanori Sera & Twist

Soranashi Sera Masanori & Twist

It’s no exaggeration to say that men in their 60s belong to the generation that lived through rock’s golden age.

Some of them might even say their first musical jolt came from Twist.

This time, I’d like to introduce “Shukunashi” by Twist.

It has that classic, old-school rock ’n’ roll vibe and maintains a lively atmosphere throughout.

Because Masanori Sera’s voice is husky, you might think shouting is essential, but a softer singing style also works well—so give it a try.

TokyoTakajin Yashiki

Takajin Yashiki “Tokyo”

Tokyo Yashiki Takajin

“Tokyo,” a famous song by Takajin Yashiki released in 1993.

Although he is a local singer, this track is widely known nationwide, partly because it received a Special Award at the Japan Cable Radio Awards.

The song portrays a breakup between a man and a woman, with the theme of moving to Tokyo.

As for the vocal line, the melody is arranged in an enka-like style, making it very easy to sing for people in their 60s.

If you’re not confident in your vocal power, try singing the A and B sections softly and then use a normal volume for the chorus; the dynamics will make it sound better, so give it a try.

Selfish Masaki Ueda

Masaki Ueda is one of Japan’s leading soul singers.

While most people probably associate him with Sad Colors (Kanashii Iro Yane), he’s highly acclaimed in the soul scene for his sophisticated musicality.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 60s is Wagamama.

Although it has a strong soul flavor, it’s by no means difficult.

That’s because, despite being a relaxed ballad, it features very few long notes and doesn’t require a wide vocal range, making the vocal line easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

If you’d like to try a moody, atmospheric tune, be sure to check it out.

That hateful girlCarol

Carol, that hateful girl

That Hateful Girl, Carol

Eikichi Yazawa’s rock band, Carol.

They’re a legendary rock band representing Japan, and I think anyone in their 60s would know them.

Among Carol’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Nikui Ano Ko” (“That Girl I Can’t Stand”).

The vibe is classic rock ’n’ roll, with an atmosphere reminiscent of Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

It’s not a hard-hitting rock number, so even if you can’t belt or don’t have a powerful voice, you should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Shadows of YouthTULIP

Shadows of Youth

The Shadow of Youth TULIP

Many people in their 60s have been exposed to folk music.

Among them, TULIP was a band with phenomenal mainstream appeal, so just about everyone knows them.

Their classic “Seishun no Kage” is very easy to sing.

It might feel a bit high, but that’s due to Kazuo Zaizu’s vocal timbre; the song’s range is actually on the narrower side.

The tempo is slow and there aren’t complex melodic jumps, so anyone can sing it with ease.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band

Kai Band – Street Corner of Betrayal

Street Corner of Betrayal - Kai Band

The rock band Kai Band gained popularity with their catchy lyrics, thematic depth, and wide musical range.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Uragiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).

Among Kai Band’s tracks, this song has one of the narrowest vocal ranges.

Because of that, it’s very easy to sing even for people in their 60s who may struggle to hit higher notes.

At after-parties and karaoke, your throat can take a beating, so if you want something easier to sing, definitely give this one a try.
