[60s] Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)

outdatedKawashima Eigo8rank/position

Singer-songwriter Eigo Kawashima, whose refined musicality earned him immense support from men.

For those in their 60s, he might be the perfect artist.

Kawashima produced many masterpieces, but the one I especially recommend is “Jidai Okure” (Behind the Times).

A no-nonsense piece portraying a man that men admire, it became a major hit in the 1980s.

What’s more, it’s a very singable song: the range is narrow, there are few long notes, and it doesn’t require much vibrato, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should be able to handle it without trouble.

Love will winKAN9rank/position

A signature song by KAN, known for his warm vocals and relatable lyrics.

With its bright, catchy rhythm and a simple yet deeply resonant message, it has brought comfort to many listeners.

Both the melody and the abstract, universal lyrics make it a gem that skillfully incorporates elements of Western music while remaining distinctly Japanese pop.

Released in September 1990 by Polydor Records, it was featured as an insert song on the TV program “Hō-chan no Yamada Katsute Nai Terebi.” Sales exceeded 2.01 million copies, and KAN also performed it at the 1991 Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The song’s pleasant piano tone and relaxed tempo make it an easy and enjoyable choice for karaoke.

“Shonen Jidai” is even featured in music textbooks.

I used to sing it in music class back in my school days.

The overall vocal range is C#3 to F4, and since it’s in textbooks, I feel like it’s a key that’s easy for anyone to sing.

When you sing it at karaoke, using a soft, airy tone like Yosui Inoue conveys a gentle atmosphere.

If you don’t land firmly on the ends of phrases and instead let them trail off, you can also express a sense of fragility.

For the opening, rather than imitating too much, it’s better to come in clearly—this adds contrast and makes it easier to listen to.

Try to sing with care for the words.

2 on the Oricon charts and won the Excellence Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect song for graduation ceremonies or any time you want to express your appreciation, so why not sing it with your feelings for someone special?

the first strong spring windkyandīzu14rank/position

As a song that heralds the arrival of spring to the heart, you hear it in various places whenever the seasons change.

This track by Candies was released in March 1976 and became a major hit, ranking 21st on the Oricon year-end chart.

By the time of their farewell concert, it had sold a total of 490,000 copies.

Its charm lies in a melody that enhances a positive mood along with a refreshing sense of the season, and the catchy chorus—hinting at the start of a new romance—rekindles excitement no matter when you listen.
