[60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2026] (51–60)
The two of us since then57rank/position
This song portrays two people who chose to walk separate paths, conveying feelings of aching sadness and regret.
The detailed depictions of memories strongly evoke both the happiness they once had and the pain of having lost it.
One of the song’s charms is its gentle, conversational singing style, so how about valuing the words and aiming for a relaxed delivery? The emotional swell in the chorus is where the sense of poignancy stands out most, so it may also be important to focus on how much intensity you put into that section.
You are more beautiful than a rose.Fuse Akira58rank/position
I bet even people in their twenties have heard the chorus.
Akira Fuse’s “Kimi wa Bara yori Utsukushii” is one of his signature songs, known for its soaring, glamorous melody.
It’s sure to liven up any karaoke session, but it’s also a very challenging song to sing.
North TavernHosokawa Takashi59rank/position
Set in a northern country tavern, this heartwarming enka classic captures the very moment a romance begins.
It richly portrays everything from the fateful encounter in a bar district to the deepening of their relationship.
Takashi Hosokawa’s powerful yet delicate vocals brilliantly convey the thrill of a man whose heart leaps at a chance meeting in a tavern.
After its release in March 1982, the song became a huge hit when it was performed on the TV show “Kin-chan no Doko Made Yaru no?” That same year, it won the 24th Japan Record Award and was also performed on the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Blending a light, poppy melody with the emotive depth characteristic of enka in perfect balance, this piece is ideal for singing at a relaxed pace while soaking in the tavern’s atmosphere.
Why not try it as the perfect finale to a fun night out with friends?
Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe60rank/position
Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary idol who left behind many timeless hits.
If you’re in your 60s, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard her voice.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend for being both exciting and easy to sing is Yumesaki Annainin (Dream Guide).
It’s a bright, quintessentially Showa-era tune, yet the vocal line is very simple, with no phrases that require complex pitch movements.
If you want to liven things up with a song brimming with classic Showa charm, definitely add this one to your repertoire.

The season the sun gave usaoi sankakujougi61rank/position
Released in 1972 as a single by Aoi Sankakujōgi, it was chosen as the theme song for the youth drama “Tobidase! Seishun” and became a hit, selling over 800,000 copies.
The song is also included in elementary and junior high school music textbooks, and it is said to continue being sung by students across generations.
It’s catchy and energetic—perfect for livening up a karaoke session.
The Bride SambaGō Hiromi62rank/position
It’s been loved for many years as a wedding song classic, hasn’t it? “Oyome Samba,” released as a single in 1981.
It features a lively, mood-lifting style and Hiromi Go’s vibrant vocals.
Some of you might even say it’s already your go-to karaoke number.
Though it has an upbeat vibe and sounds like it’s in a higher range, it’s actually surprisingly low.
If you want to liven up a big group karaoke session, this is the first song I’d recommend!
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band63rank/position
The Kai Band, a group that gained popularity with a distinctive musicality that blends elements of Japanese kayōkyoku into rock.
Many men in their 60s were likely drawn to their unadorned, rugged sound.
Among Kai Band’s songs, one I particularly recommend is “Uragiri no Machikado” (Street Corner of Betrayal).
The song spans mid1 C# to hi A#, which is somewhat wide, but since the average pitch is quite low, anyone who can produce brief mid-to-high notes should be able to sing it without issue.
However, because there are relatively few rests compared to the many long tones, it’s necessary to make adjustments—such as lowering the key slightly or tucking the chin—to avoid over-projecting your voice.
