Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing, recommended for men in their 60s (21–30)

Another SaturdayShogo Hamada

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.

In fact, it spans a fairly typical range of mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.

Can't Say Anything... SummerTHE JAYWALK

Speechless... Summer - THE JAYWALK

J-WALK has produced many classic songs.

Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large male fanbase.

I believe many men in their 50s were fans as well.

Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so singers of any range can handle it easily as long as the key is adjusted.

However, because the song contains many long tones, you’ll need to control your volume within the stamina limits of your diaphragm.

As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.

California ConnectionYutaka Mizutani

Actor Yutaka Mizutani has long been popular for his understated, nuanced performances.

Younger people may primarily associate him with “Aibou,” but for men in their 50s, his image as an artist might be just as strong.

Speaking of Mizutani’s classic songs, there’s “California Connection.” It’s a refined piece that exudes an adult atmosphere, built around a gently undulating vocal line with little dramatic fluctuation throughout.

The range is narrow and it doesn’t demand complex vocal techniques, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

At all times.Noriyuki Makihara

[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “No Matter What” (Music Video) [3rd Single] (1991) Noriyuki Makihara/donnatokimo [No. 1]
Always, by Noriyuki Makihara

A signature work by Noriyuki Makihara that delivers a universal message of living true to yourself, carried by a powerful yet gentle melody.

While acknowledging the doubts and anxieties of life, this classic is imbued with a strong resolve to cherish your true self.

Included on the album “Who Do You Share a Happy Yawn With?”, it became a massive hit, surpassing one million copies within six months of its June 1991 release.

It was also selected as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in spring 1992.

The melody, featuring a distinctive acoustic guitar and a calm tempo, makes it easy to sing.

For many people, it’s a song that resonates in the heart when standing at a crossroads or when they feel on the verge of losing themselves.

Oh, sake!Ikuzo Yoshi

Men in their 60s are the generation that experienced the dawn of kayōkyoku, rock, and folk music, and they can also be said to be very familiar with enka.

In particular, many have deep knowledge of modern enka, which differs from those based on traditional folk songs.

The song I recommend is Yosh Ikuzo’s “Sake yo.” As an enka piece, it is very easy to sing, with no kobushi that require complex pitch ornamentations.

The vocal range is also not wide—mid1 C# to mid2 F—so even men in their 60s, an age when projecting the voice can become difficult, should be able to sing it comfortably.

Sunset SongMasahiko Kondo

Masahiko Kondo “Song of the Sunset”
Yuyake no Uta Kondo Masahiko

As a leading idol of the Showa era, Masahiko Kondo left behind many classic songs.

While many men have little interest in male idols, I imagine quite a few men in their late 50s made an exception for this song, “Yuuyake no Uta.” This work exudes a mature, understated cool, featuring a melody with a hint of enka.

The vocal range is fairly average, but because the vocal lines embody the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, it’s very easy to sing.

The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi

Yasushi Nakanishi’s classic, filled with gentle yet heartrending emotion, is a ballad about parting with a lover.

The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.

The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.

Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.

In karaoke, its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range make it easy to sing calmly.

Why not sing it while carefully unfolding its story-like lyrics, together with your cherished memories?
