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 (31–40)

To the most important personTunnels

To the most important person

To the most important person, Tunnels

The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.

Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.

Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.

This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Eigo Kawashima – Sake, Tears, Men and Women

Sake, Tears, Men and Women by Eigo Kawashima

This song was included on Eigo Kawashima and Homo Sapiens’ debut album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and was released in 1976.

Written and composed by Eigo Kawashima, it was issued as a single the same year and used in a commercial for the sake brand Kizakura.

As one of Kawashima’s signature songs, it has been covered and passed down by many artists.

My Father's Longest DayMasashi Sada

My Father's Longest Day

Masashi Sada: My Father's Longest Day

Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.

Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.

Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.

The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?

Goodbye DayTakao Kisugi

Goodbye Day

Goodbye Day Takao Kisugi

Takao Kisugi is one of the composers who defined the 1980s.

He wrote numerous classic songs such as “Silhouette Romance” and “Slow Motion,” and for a time he was also active as a singer-songwriter.

Among Kisugi’s many works, the one I especially recommend is “Goodbye Day.” It’s a piece where his signature ‘Kisugi style’ is in full bloom, but on top of that, it has a smooth finish and a very singable vocal line with a narrow range.

There are plenty of long tones, but the melodic contours are very gentle, so a man in his 50s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Hiromi Go - I Can't Say It

I Can't Say It, Hiromi Go

Released in 1994 as Hiromi Go’s 66th single.

The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Omiai no Tatsujin” and as the ending theme for the Fuji TV show “Kamioka Ryūtarō ni wa Damasarenai zo!” It sold over 350,000 copies and became a long-running hit.

It is also one of the most popular ballads by Hiromi Go.

Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t good at singing, recommended for men in their 60s (41–50)

A long nightChiharu Matsuyama

Long Night - Chiharu Matsuyama

A Long Night Chiharu Matsuyama

This is Chiharu Matsuyama’s 10th single overall, released in April 1981.

To date, it has been Matsuyama’s biggest hit and is regarded as one of the classic songs of so-called New Music.

As of 2023, anyone in their 60s in Japan has likely heard it at least once.

It’s notable for a relatively large-phrased vocal melody set over a slightly up-tempo, rock-flavored arrangement.

The melody itself is very easy to remember and sing, so when you perform it at karaoke, try to convey the broad, flowing contours of each phrase.

Aiwa Katsu

Love will win KAN

Released in 1990 as KAN’s eighth single.

It became a huge hit after being used as an insert song on Fuji TV’s “Hō-chan no Yamada Katsutenai TV.” It sold over 2 million copies and won the Grand Prize at the 33rd Japan Record Awards.

Its straightforward lyrics make it a song that truly resonates.
