Karaoke songs that are sure to hype up the crowd for men in their 60s (131–140)

Dream-Chasing SakeJiro Atsumi

Jiro Atsumi - Dreams-Chasing Sake

Dream-Chasing Sake by Jiro Atsumi

Jiro Atsumi’s biggest hit is “Yumeoi-zake” (Dream-Chasing Sake).

There’s a well-known story that it became a hit after Atsumi, who had struggled to produce a breakout song, actively promoted it to various radio stations.

The song’s structure makes it a very singable enka number, so it’s a great choice for karaoke.

Shinichi Mori - Winter Journey

Winter Journey Mor i Shinichi

Following “Winter Riviera,” the next winter song by Shinichi Mori would have to be “Fuyu no Tabi.” The melody requires quite a bit of vocal skill, but if you can pull it off at a party or karaoke, it’s sure to be a hit.

For men in their 60s, it’s a spot-on nostalgic favorite.

Katte ni Sindbad Southern All Stars

The moment the song starts, everyone there gets pumped—Southern All Stars’ “Katte ni Sindbad.” Released in 1978, it was their debut single.

Many people in their 60s feel like comrades who have aged alongside the band members, including Kuwata.

With such comrades delivering fiery sounds, there’s no way the mood won’t soar! If everyone at karaoke sings and dances together, your everyday stress will vanish in no time!

Your BalladMasayuki Sera & Twist

Your Ballad

Your Ballad Sera Masanori & Twist

The band Masanori Sera & Twist, which commanded overwhelming popularity with their authentic rock sound.

Up until then, there hadn’t been true rock in Japan’s mainstream.

Twist burst onto the scene with hard-hitting rock and made a huge impact in that era.

Among their works, the song I especially recommend is “Anta no Ballad.” Because it has a loud, powerful arrangement, it requires strong vocal projection.

That makes it somewhat challenging, but it’s a track that sounds fantastic—so give it a try.
