Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers Recommended for Men in Their 60s (71–80)
ForeverThe Gospellers
This celebrated song, which sings of an eternal bond with a loved one, gently conveys the unbreakable feelings that exist precisely because love is formless.
Transcending physical distance, the unwavering longing for the other person resonates in the heart alongside beautiful harmonies.
Released in August 2000, the track stayed on the Oricon chart for an impressive 44 weeks and was selected as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s JAPAN COUNTDOWN.
Its diverse arrangements—hallmarks of The Gospellers—are part of its appeal, including the Album Version on the album “Soul Serenade” and the “unplugged live version” included on the single “Hitori.” It remains a beloved song that makes you want to sing while thinking of someone special, especially after time spent talking with friends.
I’ve always liked you.Kazuyoshi Saito
A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.
The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.
Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.
Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.
homeYusaku Kiyama
A moving ballad filled with warm father-to-child love and hopes for growth has been delivered by Yusaku Kiyama.
His gentle, calm voice conveys deep affection for family, and despite its straightforward storytelling, it leaves a lasting resonance in the listener’s heart.
Released in February 2008, the song was featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” and it also led to his appearance at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.

It’s a tender, warmth-filled song—like softly returning someone’s hand squeeze under a bright sky.
Karaoke crowd-pleasers recommended for men in their 60s (81–90)
Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Masahiko Kondo
A savior for people who aren’t good at singing: that would be Matchy’s early numbers.
Their vocal range is extremely narrow and the melodies are simple, yet they’re flashy enough to work as proper pop songs, so they don’t bore listeners.
If you’re tone-deaf, you should sing Matchy’s early songs.
His later work is harder because his singing improved and his range expanded, but Kondo Masahiko’s songs in general are great for karaoke.
countrysideKoji Tamaki
This is a gem of a masterpiece by Koji Tamaki, depicting people who, while facing the weaknesses and conflicts hidden within, live with strength.
The song richly portrays life as it is: a solitary soul kicking a stone, eyes gazing at the night sky in prayer, and an oil-stained back fallen silent.
Its melody gently teaches the importance of not overreaching, but simply taking one step at a time and steadily doing what you can.
Released in July 1996, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Coach” and became a major hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who feels lost or anxious in daily life, or who is searching for a way of living that is true to themselves.
Run, Kotaro!Salty Sugar
A masterpiece packed with humor and satire, modeled after a live horse race broadcast.
Released in July 1970, Salty Sugar’s work began as a joke about a chronically late band member and blossomed into superb popular entertainment.
The production weaves in race-style narration, horse names that parody popular buzzwords of the time, and even an impersonation of Governor Minobe, resulting in uproarious comedy.
It was adapted into a Toho-distributed film in February 1971, starring Shunji Fujimura.
The song sold around one million copies and won the New Artist Award at the 12th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a perfect pick to liven up parties and drinking gatherings with friends.
Ah, I’m so fed up.Shinji Maki
Makishinji’s unique style—delivering a memorable chorus phrase alongside lively ukulele playing—cheerfully sings about the social satire and everyday contradictions of the time.
Set to the melody of the Hawaiian classic “Tahu-a-Faai,” this single portrays relatable scenes everyone experiences, such as outings with a sweetheart, family leisure, and hierarchies among relatives.
Released by Nippon Columbia in December 1964, it’s a heartwarming song that shines in settings where everyone can laugh together, like banquets and dinner gatherings.
