Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 60s (21–30)
ChinatownEikichi Yazawa
Eikichi Yazawa has produced many classic songs over the years.
There are likely many men in their 60s who have been fans since the Carol era.
Among his tracks, one I especially recommend is Chinatown.
The song’s vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 B to mid2 G#.
If you’re just following the pitch, it should be quite manageable.
However, because Yazawa employs a shout-infused singing style, trying to imitate that can make the difficulty skyrocket.
So, rather than sticking too closely to the original, aim to sing it in a comfortable key for you.
Dramatic RainJunichi Inagaki
Junichi Inagaki is a male singer with a distinctive and memorable vocal tone.
Known for his unique musical style that blends city pop and AOR into Japanese kayōkyoku, he has produced many classic songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Dramatic Rain.
With a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 D# to hi A and a gently undulating vocal line, it should be manageable for men in their 60s who are accustomed to kayōkyoku melodies.
Be sure to check it out.

I tell lies with these eyes.CHAGE and ASKA
The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.
Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.
Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.
Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Legend of DreamsStardust☆Revue
Since Stardust Revue’s Mr.
Kaname Nemoto has a wide vocal range and a high voice, men in their 50s—even if they’re fans of his generation—may tend to avoid singing his songs.
That’s why I recommend Yume Densetsu.
In this song, the lowest note is mid1 F# and the highest is high B.
While it’s on the higher side overall, the low range is narrow, so the overall range required is about average.
In other words, as long as you can adjust the key, it’s quite singable.
It may still feel a bit high, but the vocal line itself is simple, making it a song with solid potential for a high score.
Premonition of LoveSafe zone
The classic hit by Anzen Chitai, “Koi no Yokan.” While the lyrics are heartrending, the melody itself exudes a very seductive allure, and the song is considered indispensable when discussing 1980s pop ballads.
Although the piece features many low notes, the vocal line is fundamentally easy to sing.
In the last part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps up on the word “kakenukeru,” and if you find that part difficult, try pronouncing it as “kuu-kye-nukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.
In the night sky after the rainKiyoshiro Imawano
Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.
Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.
While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.
The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
My chest hurts.Ukadan
When talking about the blues scene in Osaka, you can’t avoid mentioning the band YUKADAN.
Their vocalist, Atsuki Kimura, is known as having an “angelic raspy voice”—literally raspy, yet warm and gently embracing in its tone.
Their hit number Mune ga Itai (“My Heart Hurts”) showcases exactly that.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, but emulating Kimura’s powerful rasp is extremely difficult.
Aiming for a high score is easier if you focus on accurate pitch and sing in a way that suits your own voice.
