[For People in Their 60s] Ranking of Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [2026]

First loveMurashita Kōzō71rank/position

Kozo Murashita – First Love

There’s a band performance, and you can feel the groove, but it’s a song I’d especially like men in their 60s to sing.

The overall vocal range is F3 to G#4, so I don’t think there’s any need to force the key lower.

No special techniques are required—if you sing it plainly, it will come across well.

The main point to watch is your sense of rhythm.

If you sing standing stiff and still, your body will tense up and you’ll likely find it hard to sing.

When you sing, listen to the band and use your body—as if you yourself are an instrument.

Once you catch the rhythm, it becomes easier to time your voice, so you can sing comfortably without forcing it.

Like the Moon Tonight / Elephant Kashimashi

It’s a deeply moving masterpiece that powerfully sings of passion for the future while gazing into everyday feelings of emptiness and loneliness.

Set against the backdrop of a city at dusk, it portrays the solitude and struggles of people living in an urban landscape, yet conveys a strong will to keep looking forward and moving on.

The soulful vocals unique to Elephant Kashimashi and the melody that resonates with the heart are beautifully in harmony.

Released in July 1997, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Moon Shines at Night,” and was also included on the album “Run Toward Tomorrow – Moonlit Songs.” In 2017, it was performed in the band’s first appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, winning over even more listeners.

Kobukuro “Sakura”

Released in November 2005, this song is the first original piece created by Kentaro Kobuchi and Shunsuke Kuroda of Kobukuro, and can be considered the duo’s starting point.

Through the image of fleeting cherry blossoms, it conveys lost love and emotional scars while portraying the strength to rise again.

Spurred by the single’s success, the December release of the album “NAMELESS WORLD” became a million seller the same year, marking a major turning point with their first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to move forward while cherishing memories that remain in your heart.

Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako75rank/position

Takako Okamura “Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

After her success as a member of Amin, Takako Okamura also flourished as a singer-songwriter.

She has an exceptionally clear voice and excels at simple vocals that make the most of her tone.

“Yume wo Akiramenaide” is one of her signature songs.

Its range is narrow and there’s not much vibrato, so simply staying on pitch is enough to aim for a high score.

While the scarcity of long tones makes it a bit harder to rack up bonus points with vibrato or falls, the pitch is undeniably easy to follow—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
