Karaoke songs that 60-something men will love and get the crowd going (111–120)
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenEigo Kawashima
Even men who always act cool sometimes feel like letting loose and forgetting everything.
“Sake, Tears, Men and Women,” which captures those feelings, was Eigo Kawashima’s solo debut single released in 1976.
Originally, it was included on the debut album Jinrui (Humanity), released in 1975 by the group Eigo Kawashima & Homo Sapiens, to which Kawashima belonged.
Men in their sixties who have tasted both the bitter and the sweet of life may also have things they’d rather forget, just like in this song.
At times like that, sing this tune and let it all out!
Karaoke Songs That Liven Up the Party Recommended for Men in Their 60s (121–130)
Sexual Violet No. 1Masahiro Kuwana
It captivates with a rock sound emblematic of the 1970s and a sultry male vocal.
Depicting a passionate relationship between a man and a woman that exudes a bewitching sensuality, the piece is adorned with Takashi Matsumoto’s sophisticated lyrics and Kyohei Tsutsumi’s masterful melodic lines.
Released in 1979 as a campaign song for Kanebo Cosmetics, it topped the Oricon chart for three consecutive weeks.
Also included on the album “Communication,” it continues to enchant countless listeners.
Masahiro Kuwana’s wild, husky voice and mature allure vividly convey a world steeped in the melancholy of love.
It’s a perfect track for parties or karaoke—ride the catchy rhythm and sing along, and everyone is sure to feel their spirits lift.
Azusa No. 2hunter
A debut single by the Showa-era brother duo Kariudo from Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and also their biggest hit.
It was the best-selling song of 1977, and they performed it at that year’s NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
The lyrics portray a worldview of endings and beginnings, depicting a departure to Nagano together with a new boyfriend.
The song is notable for its dramatic melody and structure.
Speak not of lifeTakuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida is a pioneering Japanese singer-songwriter who has garnered strong support from many fans.
For people in their 60s, he’s a spot-on artist, and I think everyone has heard his songs at least once.
Among the many classic tracks he’s created, the one I especially recommend is “Jinsei o Katarazu” (“Without Speaking of Life”).
It has a rock flavor, but the vocal range is quite narrow, making it very easy to sing.
It’s a song that actually sounds better if you deliberately put some power into your voice, so give it a try.
Flower NecklaceThe Tigers
Flower Necklace, the fifth single by The Tigers, a Group Sounds band from the Showa era.
Although they’re famous for having Julie (Kenji Sawada) as their lead vocalist, this song is sung by Toppo (Katsumi Kahashi).
All the Tigers members are from Kyoto.
They originally started making music inspired by The Ventures and The Beatles, but they rose to popularity through idol-style marketing.
Invited to FlamencoHiromi Go
It’s a perfect, high-energy number for the first song at karaoke.
Released in 1975 as his 13th single, “Yosowarete Flamenco” (“Enticed to Flamenco”) paints a picture of a searing summer romance—just reading the lyrics can make your chest feel hot.
The vocal range is narrow, but as the upbeat feel suggests, the melody line is fast-paced.
Try to focus on keeping up solidly with the sound.
And aim to sing it with a sweet, suave vibe like Gō-san.
Galaxy Express 999Godiego
Godaigo’s “The Galaxy Express 999” is a song that transcends generations—enjoyed by people in their 60s, those even older, and younger listeners alike.
Released in 1979, it was used as the theme song for the film Galaxy Express 999 and has become a classic beloved across eras.
EXILE also covered it featuring VERBAL from m-flo, which helped introduce it to younger generations.
With lyrics and a mood that evoke the image of walking forward with hope while keeping a fresh spirit, it’s guaranteed to liven up any karaoke gathering! For those in their 60s who also know the anime, lead the charge and get everyone excited!
