Sync Of SummerTatsuro Yamashita
This is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 53rd single, released in July 2023.
It was reportedly written specifically as a song for Kirin’s “Gogo no Kocha” (Afternoon Tea) commercial.
When you think of summer, you think of Tatsuro Yamashita!! That image, combined with the song’s title, makes this a summer anthem overflowing with his signature style that truly evokes the season.
The melody crafted with that trademark Yamashita touch doesn’t span a particularly wide vocal range, so it should be very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Throughout the song, it feels best not to overemote—sing it a bit bluntly, with a touch of nonchalance.
A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyShinji Tanimura
This is Shinji Tanimura’s 41st single, released in March 2008; he sadly passed away recently (October 2023).
It is a self-cover single of a song he originally provided to Momoe Yamaguchi in 1978.
As of November 2023, many people in their 50s and older will likely remember Yamaguchi’s original version.
It’s a very mellow piece that evokes the feeling of a distant journey under open skies.
The vocal line is easy for anyone to hum along with and enjoy, so I highly recommend selecting it for karaoke even if you’re not confident in your singing.
Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 60s (101–110)
How many good faces?Hiromi Go
The 35th single, released in July 1980, is “How many Ii Kao.” The song portrays someone thrilled by a woman whose expressions change from moment to moment, conjuring images of a flirtatious, playful romance.
Its rhythmic groove and somewhat innocent-sounding vocals are such a perfect match.
It’s catchy, so it’s a great pick when you want to warm up the mood at karaoke.
The melodic range isn’t very wide, so try not to get thrown off by the tempo—focus on singing it steadily.
Stay by my side just as you areHiromi Go
Being able to meet someone who makes you feel like you could give them your everything—that’s a miracle, isn’t it? Released in 2008 as the 91st single, here is “Arinomama de Soba ni Ite” (“Stay by My Side As I Am”).
The utmost love for an irreplaceable person is packed tightly into the sound, lyrics, and vocals.
The highest notes are a bit on the high side, but since it’s a slow ballad, you should be able to sing it at ease.
If you feel the notes are too high, try supplementing with mixed voice or falsetto.
Nice to meet you, melancholy.Hiromi Go
The song “Yoroshiku Aishu,” chosen as the theme for the drama A Little Happiness, became a major hit.
Released in 1974, it has long been cherished as one of Hiromi Go’s signature tracks.
Being apart from your lover—even for a short time—can make your heart ache… I imagine many people have experienced that kind of love.
It’s precisely because you care that there are moments of loneliness.
Even the highest notes are modest, so I think men with lower natural voices can take on the song.
Savor the storytelling as you sing.
Because I like youHiromi Go
The pure feelings woven into the lyrics make my chest tighten.
Released in 2017 as their 102nd single, “Suki Dakara” is a cover of a song originally released by Ruriko Kubohisa in 2000.
It’s a love song where the bright, uplifting melody pairs perfectly with the straightforward vocals.
The message of “I love you so much” comes through directly and leaves you feeling happy.
It might be a great choice to sing at karaoke as a couple, don’t you think?
Melancholy CasablancaHiromi Go
It’s a smash hit that was born from a radio project.
“Aishū no Casablanca” was released in 1982 as the 43rd single.
The song came first, then the lyrics and singer were publicly solicited, and Hiromi Go was ultimately chosen.
Its charm lies in a melody that fully showcases Go’s sultriness.
It’s the kind of song that can make even men swoon.
While it may be difficult to fully recreate the song’s vibe and atmosphere, the pitch itself isn’t particularly high, so it should be relatively approachable to take on.
