[60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2026] (31–40)
PRIDEImai Miki36rank/position
Praised as a “refreshingly pure love song,” this piece is one of Miki Imai’s signature tracks, known for her powerful and beautiful vocals.
Its lyrics, portraying a woman who lives with pride in her love for her partner, resonated with many listeners.
Released in November 1996, it gained attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Doc.” It topped the Oricon singles chart and became a major hit, selling over 1.6 million copies.
With its relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing calmly at karaoke.
Why not sing it while holding close the joy of being in love and your feelings for someone special?
Forever with youKayama Yūzō37rank/position
This was the fifth single overall by Showa-era superstar Yuzo Kayama, released in December 1965.
It sold over three million copies and received a Special Award at the 8th Japan Record Awards in 1966—truly a classic of the Showa era.
Kayama’s resonant, commanding vocals are so outstanding that some people might hesitate to sing it at karaoke, but the melody is very simple and easy to hum, so don’t be afraid to give it a try.
If you aim your voice toward your lower jaw inside your mouth and let your chest resonate firmly as you sing, you can get closer to the depth of tone that he has.
And when you sing it at karaoke, don’t forget to recreate the spoken-line part, too!
Parting at 22kaze38rank/position
With a folk-like, simple chord progression and a conversational melody, this is a song you can sing without straining your voice.
Emotion matters more than technique, and even if you’re not confident at singing, a calm tone unique to men in their 60s can convey plenty of charm, making it a safe choice to try at karaoke.
Also, since few people sing folk songs, performing it in a relaxed, listening-focused way will gently touch listeners’ hearts.
When you sing, don’t belt—deliver it as if you’re speaking to match the song’s mood.
Because a spoken style uses more breath, practicing with humming and lip rolls beforehand will make it easier to produce your voice.
I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu39rank/position
A song distinguished by its buoyant melody and heartwarming lyrics.
It carries a positive message that encourages you to keep moving forward even in tough times, and it continues to resonate with many people.
Released in 1961, it became a huge hit not only in Japan but also overseas.
In the United States, it became known as “Sukiyaki” and reached No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
With a modest range that makes it easy to sing and suitable for a wide variety of voices, it’s also a popular choice for karaoke.
As a timeless classic loved across generations, why not add it to your repertoire? Sing it with your own feelings, carried by Kyu Sakamoto’s warm vocals.
I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi40rank/position
A ballad you can sing with a moist, mature allure.
Released in 1994, it became a big hit.
The range itself isn’t very high; if you can firmly nail the G4 in the chorus as an accent, you’ll be in good shape.
Since it’s a relaxed song, it’s easy to rack up points with pitch accuracy, long tones, and vibrato, so you need to take solid breaths and project your voice.
The structure builds clearly from verse (A) → pre-chorus (B) → chorus.
Deliver the A section in a spoken, narrative style, gradually raise the tension in the B section toward the chorus, and then let your emotions burst in the chorus!

It was spring, wasn’t it?yoshida takurou41rank/position
An uptempo track that sets the tone for the fourth album “Genki Desu,” released in 1972.
Takuro’s cool vocals breezily sing of the fleeting nature of love.
With an extremely low range—its lowest note is mid1 A#—this song is a godsend for men with lower voices.
While the dense lyrics and quick delivery can be a bit challenging, its comfortable, soothing sense of drive makes it easy to sing! Perfect for spring karaoke or when you want to get hyped with one of Takuro’s rock numbers.
Wine Red Heartanzenchitai42rank/position
The wistful melody and Koji Tamaki’s distinctive vocals are striking, and I’m sure many people include Anzen Chitai in their repertoire.
I love them myself, so I think this is a song I’d be happy to hear sung with a deep, cool voice! The melody doesn’t have many parts where you need to belt, so there’s no need to strain your throat.
Sing calmly, almost like you’re speaking, and enjoy the atmosphere of the song.
The chorus does have a few slightly higher notes, so if you aim your voice properly at those spots, your breath will flow smoothly and you’ll be able to sing comfortably!
