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

Not everything is good.RC Succession

RC Succession - There Ain’t No Such Thing as Only Good Things
There’s no such thing as only good things — RC Succession

I’m a man in my 60s who lived through the era when folk music was mainstream, but I think there were just as many rock fans, too.

Many people were probably captivated by how cool RC Succession were, right? That’s why I’d like to recommend their song “Ii Koto Bakari wa Arya Shinai” (“There Aren’t Only Good Things”).

While many of their tracks can be challenging, this one keeps the vocal line understated throughout.

The range is narrow and the tempo is relaxed, making it a very easy song to sing.

If you want to sing a passionate song, we recommend “Mi mo Kokoro mo.” This piece was released in 1977 by the band led by Ryudo Uzaki, the Downtown Boogie-Woogie Band.

Since it was used as the theme song for the popular drama “Detective Story,” many people will likely find it familiar.

In this song, most of the vocals are set in the lower register except for part of the chorus.

As your voice gains richness with age, this could be a great track to practice if you want to master a cool, gritty singing style.

Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter known for his unparalleled, exquisitely crafted lyrics.

If you’re in your 60s, chances are you’ve encountered his music at least once.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is Kakashi (Scarecrow).

Built around a gentle story and melody that evoke a distant hometown, the vocal line is naturally kept understated.

It doesn’t require much vocal power, so it’s a perfect choice to sing at second or third-round karaoke gatherings.

Travel LodgeTakuro Yoshida

Singer-songwriter Takuro Yoshida, known for his refined musicality, has a large male fanbase.

Even today, many men in their 60s are surely still captivated by him.

Among Yoshida’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Tabi no Yado (Inn on the Journey).

It features a distinctly understated, mature sound, blending folk with elements of blues and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song).

Since there are no high parts at all, it’s very manageable even for men who find high notes difficult.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Speak not of lifeTakuro Yoshida

Don’t Talk About Life — Takuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida - “Don’t Speak of Life”

Takuro Yoshida is a pioneering Japanese singer-songwriter who has garnered strong support from many fans.

For people in their 60s, he’s a spot-on artist, and I think everyone has heard his songs at least once.

Among the many classic tracks he’s created, the one I especially recommend is “Jinsei o Katarazu” (“Without Speaking of Life”).

It has a rock flavor, but the vocal range is quite narrow, making it very easy to sing.

It’s a song that actually sounds better if you deliberately put some power into your voice, so give it a try.

The sea is in love.The Riganies

The Rigannies were a folk group active in the late 1960s.

While their music was primarily folk, they also had many slightly tropical-sounding songs reminiscent of Yuzo Kayama, and their broad musical range made them popular.

Among the Rigannies’ works, the one I particularly recommend for men in their 60s as an easy song to sing is Umi wa Koishiteru (The Sea Is in Love).

Although the tempo is slow and it features many long tones, there are virtually no parts where you have to belt, and the vocal range is narrow, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

My chest hurts.Ukadan

Yūkadan – My Chest Hurts
Eikichi Yazawa and the Blues Kings

Yūkadan is a legendary band fronted by Atsuki Kimura, whose distinctive voice—often called an “angelic raspy voice”—leaves a lasting impression.

If you’re into blues, you almost certainly know them.

When it comes to Yūkadan’s signature songs, many people probably think of Mune ga Itai (“My Chest Hurts”).

Though it’s one of their most representative tracks and the raspy delivery can make it seem challenging, the vocal line itself is simple and easy to sing.

It really shines if you sing it at a karaoke after-party once your voice is a bit worn out.
