Karaoke Songs That Will Liven Up the Party for Men in Their 60s (21–30)
interaction; friendly contact; bondingMasatoshi Nakamura
Masatoshi Nakamura has been active across a wide range of fields as an actor and singer.
As a singer, his main profession is acting, so it’s not that he possessed exceptionally high technical skill, but his expressive vocals did help him establish a place for a time.
Among Nakamura’s songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for aiming high karaoke scores is Fureai.
Its vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 A to mid2 D#, the tempo is a moderate BPM 123, and the melodic movement is much gentler compared to contemporary songs, so it should be quite feasible to target a high score.
If the end of the chorus is difficult to project, instead of using mixed voice, another option is to raise the key by one or two steps and sing it in falsetto.
BoyhoodYosui Inoue
It’s a true classic among classic songs that represent summer in Japan.
I’ve heard it’s even included in music textbooks, so it’s no exaggeration to say that people of all ages across the country know this summer song.

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.

Winter LightningAlice
This song by Alice, released in 1977, features lyrics written by Shinji Tanimura and music composed by Takao Horiuchi.
It didn’t attract much attention at the time of its release, but its popularity gradually grew the following year.
It’s one of Alice’s signature songs, notable for the striking “Ah” shout in the middle, and because it’s highly performance-oriented, it’s likely to be a hit at karaoke if two people sing it with good harmonies.
It’s a song you’ll definitely want everyone around you to clap along to in support.

A quintessential Carol song that wraps a straightforward love story in breezy rock ’n’ roll, remaining as vibrant as ever.

Released in June 1973, it achieved an exceptional 300,000 sales for a rock band at the time.
Its edgy guitar riffs and rhythmic phrases left a significant mark on the history of Japanese rock.
The track was also included on the album “Funky Monkey Baby.” With its catchy melody and infectious rhythm, this song is perfect for getting hyped with close friends at karaoke.
