Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (21–30)

brideNorihiko Hashida and Climax

This song was released in 1971 as the debut single under the name Norihiko Hashida & Climax.

The vocalist is Mie Fujisawa, a woman, but it’s a song that also suits a male singer.

The melody is easy to remember, so I recommend it.

Since many younger people may not know it, it’s well-suited for karaoke among people of the same generation.

dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto

Released in February 2004, this work has continued to be loved as a classic of J-pop.

Hitoto Yo’s clear, translucent vocals and lyrics imbued with prayers for peace make this song deeply moving.

With its relaxed tempo and stepwise melodic progression, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.

It has also been used on Nippon TV’s “Tuesday Suspense Theater” and in commercials, making it familiar to many people.

It’s a perfect song to sing with thoughts for someone special.

Why not sing it slowly, layering your own experiences and emotions into it?

unconsciously / without realizing itRyudo Uzaki

For men in their 60s, when it comes to no-nonsense male singer-songwriters, Ryudo Uzaki is likely the first name that comes to mind.

He has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Shira zu Shira zu no Uchi ni.

This piece is set within a relatively narrow range of mid1 B to mid2 C#, and the vocal line maintains a gentle, even contour.

However, because it calls for expressive elements like shouts and breath control, if you want to show appeal beyond just scoring points, I recommend mastering overtones that are effective in the low to low-mid range.

First Love Kozo Murashita

Kozo Murashita was a singer-songwriter who gained popularity for his highly original musical style that mixed New Music and folk songs.

Many men in their 60s were likely captivated by his melodic sensibility, which conveyed smoothness even within a kayōkyoku-like flow.

His song “Hatsukoi” is his biggest hit number.

Although its range is narrow, from mid1 F to mid2 G#, the chorus requires singing the high notes on the “tsu” consonant, so lowering the key by one step from your optimal key will likely give you the most stable pitch.

Goodbye to sorrowSafe zone

Anzen Chitai is a band that has built an era with a uniquely Japanese sound brimming with originality, fusing kayōkyoku, pop music, and rock.

They have so many hit songs that whatever you sing will likely get the crowd going, but this time I’d like to introduce “Kanashimi ni Sayonara,” which is especially easy to sing among their repertoire.

This work is a major-key ballad that, despite its sorrowful lyrics, somehow retains a refreshing tone.

The vocal range is quite narrow at mid1B to mid2F#, so if you adjust it to your optimal key, you should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Eris with Azure EyesSafe zone

The band Anzen Chitai has produced numerous hit numbers.

From ballads to rock-flavored pop, they’ve turned all kinds of works into popular songs.

The one I’d like to recommend this time is Aoi Hitomi no Erisu (Eris with Azure Eyes).

It’s a gentle ballad, yet it also has well-placed moments of lift.

Rather than a big, explosive build, it’s the kind of song that gives you chills and goosebumps.

Its vocal range is quite narrow at mid1 C to mid2 D#, and the melodic movement is smooth, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

MonicaKoji Yoshikawa

People around 60 to 63 are the generation that experienced the peak of the second band boom.

Since the band craze continued through acts like COMPLEX and BOØWY, those who have kept following rock have probably listened to Koji Kikkawa’s songs a lot.

One track I recommend is Monica.

Its vocal range is slightly on the high side at about mid1 D to hi A#, but since notes around mid2 C to mid2 D appear frequently, you won’t really feel a wide range is required.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, making it very easy to sing.

It’s a song that can get people in their 50s excited too, so definitely add it to your repertoire.
