Karaoke Songs That Will Liven Up the Party for Men in Their 60s (21–30)
Boy in the back alleyShogo Hamada
This song, which is also Shogo Hamada’s debut single, was released in 1976.
It’s a coming-of-age song that sings about his memories from ages 16 to 22 spent in Yokohama, and just the intro alone is enough to fire up Hamada’s fans.
Reissued singles were released in 1989 and 2005.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s really cool if you can nail the part where the chorus jumps up an octave.
It should be a lot of fun if everyone claps along and gets into it together.
Mary AnnTHE ALFEE
A song that sings of youthful passion, the joy of love, and love that has been lost.
Released in September 1983, this track is known as one of THE ALFEE’s signature works.
Alongside its powerful rock sound, the emotional depth of the lyrics is striking.
It has been performed frequently at concerts and on television, and has been loved for many years.
It’s a great choice when you want to liven things up at company parties or karaoke.
Its distinctive rhythm and title call stand out, and the chorus is perfect for singing together.
However, if the high key feels challenging, it’s best to use the key adjustment feature.
Karaoke Songs That 60-Something Men Will Love and Get the Crowd Going (31–40)
My GiftOf course
This song, whose relaxed melody and slightly sentimental lyrics really sink into your heart, is Off Course’s “Boku no Okurimono” (“My Gift to You”).
It was the first song written and composed by Kazumasa Oda, and it was a favorite among professional artists like Kiyoshiro Imawano.
Many people have surely been moved by its expressions that convey a bittersweet mood throughout the seasons.
With its beautiful chorus and melody, it can be called the origin of Kazumasa Oda’s world—a song that brings comfort to the heart.
It’s said to have even appeared in elementary and junior high school music textbooks.
The Maiden with Flaxen HairThe Village Singers
It’s a classic by the “young master”-style Group Sounds band, The Village Singers.
The song had a revival hit in 2002 thanks to Hitomi Shimatani.
It’s one of those songs younger people will still say they know at karaoke.
It’s fun when you can share it with younger folks and everyone gets hyped.
A little trivia: The Village Singers’ version is actually a cover—the original was by Michi Aoyama, titled “Kaze Fuku Oka de” (On the Windy Hill), with a different title, too.
It was spring, wasn’t it?Takuro Yoshida
This is Takuro Yoshida’s “It Was Spring,” captivating for its unique vocal delivery within a pop atmosphere.
The lyrics were written by Yoshiko Taguchi, who provided words for numerous artists, and Yoshida doesn’t fit those lyrics neatly to the melody—yet he sings them wonderfully, as if dancing.
It’s a masterpiece that makes you think no one else could pull off such a technique.
At the time, people even whispered that he was like the legendary American musician Bob Dylan.
DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.
Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.
Kiyoshi's Zundoko SongKiyoshi Hikawa
If you’re looking for a song to get everyone hyped together, “Kiyoshi no Zundoko-bushi” is a great pick.
It’s a track released in 2002 by enka singer Kiyoshi Hikawa.
Although it’s relatively recent, it was a huge hit, so most people have probably heard it.
The song’s biggest draw is the chorus, where everyone can join in with call-and-response and clapping.
I’d love for you to try it together with a group.
It also sounds fun to listen to it alongside other versions of Zundoko-bushi.
