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

Surely more than anyone else in the worldNagayama Miho & WANDS92rank/position

Surely more than anyone else in the world

This is a very famous song and one of Miho Nakayama’s signature tracks.

I imagine many people sing it.

The collaboration with the rock band WANDS is also very special.

The overall vocal range is F#3–B4, and since the chorus uses the top note B4 frequently, it’s an easy key for those who are good with high notes.

If you feel it’s “too high” while singing, don’t force it—try lowering the key by one or two steps.

If belting in chest voice is difficult for you, adding clear accents in the high parts will help the sound come out more easily.

You can probably sense where the high sections are as you sing, so try aiming for those spots and pronouncing just “ah” there to target them precisely at first.

Also, for pronunciations with the vowel “i,” pulling the sound too wide horizontally creates tension.

Try to keep some space inside your mouth and avoid overemphasizing the “ee” sound.

Kanpai, a song created for a friend’s wedding and released as the title track of the third album.

Beyond the original version, it has become a signature song loved by listeners across generations, thanks to backgrounds such as its inclusion in elementary school music textbooks and numerous cover versions by many artists.

With its very relaxed tempo and simple melody, anyone can sing it comfortably if they set the key to suit their voice.

It’s a heartwarming number that will liven up a group sing-along at karaoke after the event.

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK96rank/position

[Official] J-WALK “Speechless… Summer”

J-WALK has released many classic songs.

Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large number of male fans.

I believe many men in their 60s were fans as well.

Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute…

Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so people of any vocal range can sing it comfortably by adjusting the key.

However, since the song includes many long tones, you’ll need to sing with a volume that your diaphragm stamina can handle.

As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song with which you can aim for a high score in karaoke rating systems.

Yusaku Kiyama - Home

A moving ballad filled with warm father-to-child love and hopes for growth has been delivered by Yusaku Kiyama.

His gentle, calm voice conveys deep affection for family, and despite its straightforward storytelling, it leaves a lasting resonance in the listener’s heart.

Released in February 2008, the song was featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “UtaSta!!” and Yomiuri TV’s “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” and it also led to his appearance at the 59th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.

For karaoke, it’s recommended when you want to reflect on family memories or express gratitude to someone special.

It’s a tender, warmth-filled song—like softly returning someone’s hand squeeze under a bright sky.
