[60s] Karaoke Popularity Ranking by Generation [2026] (21–30)
The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko29rank/position
It was released in 1972 as Rumiko Koyanagi’s fourth single.
This song is highly popular as a representative local tune of the Seto Inland Sea, and its lyrics depict the scene and feelings of a bride moving to a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, along with her determination for a new life.
It is one of Rumiko Koyanagi’s signature songs, having won the Grand Prize at the 3rd Japan Kayō Awards.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki30rank/position
A signature work by Noriyuki Makihara that delivers a universal message of living true to yourself, carried by a powerful yet gentle melody.
While acknowledging the doubts and anxieties of life, this classic is imbued with a strong resolve to cherish your true self.
Included on the album “Who Do You Share a Happy Yawn With?”, it became a massive hit, surpassing one million copies within six months of its June 1991 release.
It was also selected as the entrance march for the 64th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in spring 1992.
The melody, featuring a distinctive acoustic guitar and a calm tempo, makes it easy to sing.
For many people, it’s a song that resonates in the heart when standing at a crossroads or when they feel on the verge of losing themselves.

First loveMurashita Kōzō31rank/position
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.
Thank youikimonogakari32rank/position
A gem-like ballad gently wrapped in warmth and gratitude.
Beautifully blending Kiyoe Yoshioka’s clear, transparent vocals with a melody that resonates in the heart, this work was released in May 2010 as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Gegege no Nyobo.
Its lyrics tenderly weave together the everyday happiness of walking hand in hand with someone dear and the feelings that words cannot express, warming the hearts of many.
The song won the Excellence Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards and was included in high school music textbooks in 2013.
It continues to be sung at life’s milestones such as weddings and graduation ceremonies.
It is a song to sing with all your heart when you want to reaffirm bonds with family, partners, and friends, or when you wish to express your gratitude.
Fall in LoveKobayashi Akiko33rank/position
It was the theme song for the TBS TV drama “To Wives on Friday III: Falling in Love.” Thanks to this drama, the term “Kin-tsuma” (Friday Wives) also became popular.
The song is slow-tempo and very easy to sing, but be aware that most of the second verse is in English.
If the setting isn’t too solemn, it might be fun to sing the English parts in your own style.
It’s a song that will definitely bring back memories, so please use it as background music when reminiscing.
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu34rank/position
This is Southern All Stars’ third single, released in March 1979.
It’s truly a classic of Showa-era New Music and a pop ballad masterpiece.
If you’re in your 60s, there’s probably no one who hasn’t heard it.
When singing this at karaoke, I think the biggest tip for making it sound good is not to try too hard to sing it perfectly.
Put your feelings into it and enjoy.
I also think it’s totally fine to have fun by singing it in a Kuwa-chan (Keisuke Kuwata) impression!
Ruby RingTerao Akira35rank/position
Mr.
Akira Terao, who has left behind numerous masterpieces as a renowned actor.
For those in their 60s, his image as a singer may be even stronger than his image as an actor.
Many were likely surprised that he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder, but kept releasing hits with an unwavering, cool musical style.
Ruby no Yubiwa is his biggest hit.
While the lowest note drops to a very low low G, there are solid moments of lift within its cool, understated mood—such as a key change toward the end.
Despite the modulation, the piece has a narrow vocal range, so you might even try raising the key on purpose and experimenting with a more powerful delivery different from the original.
