[60s] Karaoke Popularity Ranking by Generation [2026] (41–50)
younger boykyandīzu43rank/position
Candies’ hit song “Toshishita no Otoko no Ko” (“A Younger Boy”).
Its bright, quintessential Showa-era idol melody is really striking, isn’t it? For women in their 60s, it’s likely a real crowd-pleaser.
That said, the section just before the chorus in the B-melody can be a bit tricky—the pitch jumps up all at once, so if you find that part hard to sing, try adjusting the key up or down with a focus on that section.
Overall, it’s a mid-tempo piece that’s easy to sing, so add it to your repertoire and use it to liven up your next karaoke session.
Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko44rank/position
Released in September 1981, this is the fourth single by Masahiko Kondo, a major Showa-era idol who rose to fame as part of the “Tanokin Trio” alongside Toshihiko Tahara and Yoshio Nomura.
There’s hardly any need for me to say more—if you’re a Japanese person in your 60s today, you’re sure to know this smash hit of Showa-era pop! No need for complicated commentary to sing this one—just belt it out and enjoy.
If you imitate Kondo’s gestures and hand movements while you sing, you’ll have even more fun!
scarecrowsadamasashi45rank/position
Among people in their 60s, those in the latter half of the decade likely experienced the heyday of folk music.
Many of you may have been particularly struck by Masashi Sada’s lyrics, overflowing with originality and narrative depth.
Of all his songs, the one I especially recommend is Kakashi.
Its range is an average mid1 A# to mid2 F#, and because the pitch movement is fairly steady, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
The melody has an ennui-like mood, so be sure to sing it together and get the vibe going.
ChampionArisu46rank/position
A dramatic rock ballad that really resonates with men in their 50s.
It’s also said to be surprisingly easy to score well on in karaoke.
The overall vocal range is D3 to G#4, which is basically on the lower side, so if you sing calmly you shouldn’t rush the tempo and it should be easy to sing.
In the chorus, all three members of Alice sing in harmony at once, so you’ll need to firmly confirm the main melody.
To sing with a rich, rugged tone, try resonating fully in your mouth and imagine projecting a beam from your whole mouth—this will give your voice more depth.
Opening your mouth vertically may also help.
Give it a try and sing it with your best voice!
White Swingbiriibanban47rank/position
Billy BanBan is a brother folk duo that is still active today.
They’ve created many classic songs over the years, but the one I especially recommend for men in their 60s is Shiroi Buranko (White Swing).
While it falls under the folk genre, it features a rhythm with a touch of soul-like Black music influence.
The vocal range is narrow and there are no parts that require belting, so it’s also great for those aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
FriendsRebekka48rank/position
People in their early 60s could be said to be the generation that lived right through the heart of the second band boom.
Among the bands that led that boom, Rebecca is likely a group many feel a deep attachment to.
Their song Friends is one of Rebecca’s best-known classics.
The vocal range is a typical mid2B to hiC, but because the highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, be sure to adjust the key so you can maintain sufficient volume.
Since it’s a famous song from the very intro, if you want to liven up a karaoke session, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessArai Yumi49rank/position
It has a very gentle melody reminiscent of a Western nursery rhyme.
If you’re a woman in your 60s who feels “I’m not so good at karaoke…,” please give this song a try.
There’s one high note near the end of the chorus, but don’t worry too much about it—just have fun singing.
This song also gained attention as the ending theme of the Studio Ghibli film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
It’s a great choice for karaoke with small children, too.
