[60s] Karaoke Popularity Ranking by Generation [2026] (61–70)
Yokohama TwilightItsuki Hiroshi64rank/position
This was mood kayō/enka singer Hiroshi Itsuki’s debut single, released in March 1971.
With this song, Mr.
Itsuki won numerous awards, including the Vocalist Award at the 13th Japan Record Awards and the Broadcast Music Award at the 2nd Japan Kayō Awards, and he also made his first appearance at the 22nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
It’s truly a classic of the Shōwa era and one of the quintessential local songs of Yokohama.
Melodically, it’s very easy to sing and to hum casually, so I think the key to delivering this song well comes down to how you handle the spacing between the words in the lyrics.
Ride the pleasant rhythm and try singing while cherishing each and every word of the lyrics.
Yoko of the Port, Yokohama, YokosukaDaun Taun Bugiugi Bando65rank/position
This song captivates with lyrics that unfold like a spoken narrative and a rock sound rooted in the blues.
Set in the two port towns of Yokohama and Yokosuka, its story of a man searching for a missing woman poignantly captures his sorrow, leaving a deep impression on listeners.
Incorporating the American talking blues style crafted by Ryudo Uzaki, its innovative arrangement favors speaking over singing, bringing a fresh breeze to the music scene of the time.
Since its release in April 1975, the work spent five consecutive weeks at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
With a recitative, storytelling delivery, it’s a song that even those lacking confidence in their vocal technique can enjoy performing.
Why not let yourself drift with its unhurried flow and sing while picturing the scenery of the harbor towns?
Gatchaman SongShimon Masato66rank/position
It’s the theme song from the anime Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, which started airing in 1972, and many people sing it as an anison (anime song) staple! The melody line is very simple, and the structure repeats through verse three.
However, if you don’t raise the energy toward the latter half, it can feel flat and people may lose interest, so make sure to deliver each verse with intention.
Also, for the call-and-response part in the third verse, it’s more fun to “shout” than to “sing” it—really crank up the hype and get everyone to join in! It’s a song you can power through with momentum, so even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy performing it!
Body and soulDaun Taun Bugiugi Bando67rank/position
If you want to sing a passionate song, we recommend “Mi mo Kokoro mo.” This piece was released in 1977 by the band led by Ryudo Uzaki, the Downtown Boogie-Woogie Band.
Since it was used as the theme song for the popular drama “Detective Story,” many people will likely find it familiar.
In this song, most of the vocals are set in the lower register except for part of the chorus.
As your voice gains richness with age, this could be a great track to practice if you want to master a cool, gritty singing style.
Your eyes are 10,000 voltsHoriuchi Takao68rank/position
A solo work by Takao Horiuchi, a former member of Alice—the legendary New Music group of the Showa era—released in May 1978.
It was used that same year as the autumn campaign song for Shiseido cosmetics.
By the way, while the composition was by Horiuchi himself, the lyrics were written by Shinji Tanimura, Alice’s close ally.
I was a huge fan of Alice at the time and of course loved this song as well, but listening to it again for the first time in a while to write this piece, I’m newly impressed by its simple yet very catchy melody.
I think it’s an easy melody to hum and sing at karaoke, so please enjoy it!
Oh, sake!Yoshi Ikuzo69rank/position
Men in their 60s are the generation that experienced the dawn of kayōkyoku, rock, and folk music, and they can also be said to be very familiar with enka.
In particular, many have deep knowledge of modern enka, which differs from those based on traditional folk songs.
The song I recommend is Yosh Ikuzo’s “Sake yo.” As an enka piece, it is very easy to sing, with no kobushi that require complex pitch ornamentations.
The vocal range is also not wide—mid1 C# to mid2 F—so even men in their 60s, an age when projecting the voice can become difficult, should be able to sing it comfortably.
Angel’s TemptationMayuzumi Jun70rank/position
It was released in 1968 as Jun Mayuzumi’s fourth single.
It reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit that won the Grand Prize at the 10th Japan Record Awards.
That same year, a film titled “Angel’s Temptation,” starring Mayuzumi and based on this song, was released by Shochiku, and her performance of the song in a miniskirt became a major topic of conversation at the time.
