[60s] Karaoke Popularity Rankings by Generation [2026] (1–10)
Lingering Snowiruka1rank/position
“Nagori Yuki” is easy to sing in the original key even for men.
It’s a gentle, tender song, so instead of belting the high notes, try using falsetto to convey a sense of poignancy.
Since it doesn’t require intricate techniques, it’s also a good choice for people who aren’t confident singers to try in a natural, relaxed style.
When you sing, keep your throat generally open and let the voice come out comfortably.
Before singing, lift your facial muscles and eyebrows, then send your voice gently forward.
Doing this lets not only your voice but also your breath flow out together, helping you produce a very pleasing singing tone.
A long nightMatsuyama Chiharu2rank/position
Chiharu Matsuyama’s song “Nagai Yoru” (A Long Night) is loved by many fans for its deep emotional expression and poetic lyrics.
Released in 1981, it is one of his signature works.
Known as a major hit that marked a dramatic shift from his previous folk style to a rock-influenced sound, the song passionately conveys the turmoil of love.
It has sold over 860,000 copies in total and is perfect for livening up gatherings with friends or workplace socials.
threadNakajima Miyuki3rank/position
A timeless classic loved across generations, Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito.” It’s a popular choice among men at karaoke and has been covered by many artists.
The song’s overall range is narrow—F3 to A#4—so if you focus on savoring the meaning of the lyrics, you can sing it well even without much volume.
Since the melody has many sustained notes, aim your breath straight toward your target to keep your voice steady.
Relax your shoulders so you can breathe deeply, and inhale while keeping your upper body loose.
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki4rank/position
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing here is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used in many TV show theme songs and commercials, and has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have likely heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known track, both the melody and the lyrics are very memorable, and it’s the kind of song you can enjoy singing casually, almost like humming along.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.
A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyYamaguchi Momoe5rank/position
For people in their 60s, the most popular idol is probably Momoe Yamaguchi.
She left behind many classic songs, and “Ii Hi Tabidachi” is especially recommended as a catchy piece that anyone can sing.
While it’s not an upbeat track, the vocal range sits at mid1F to hiC, which is comfortable for female vocals, so most people can sing it in the original key.
The melody doesn’t have extreme pitch changes either, so try singing it together with your karaoke friends.
BoyhoodInoue Yosui6rank/position
“Shonen Jidai” is even featured in music textbooks.
I used to sing it in music class back in my school days.
The overall vocal range is C#3 to F4, and since it’s in textbooks, I feel like it’s a key that’s easy for anyone to sing.
When you sing it at karaoke, using a soft, airy tone like Yosui Inoue conveys a gentle atmosphere.
If you don’t land firmly on the ends of phrases and instead let them trail off, you can also express a sense of fragility.
For the opening, rather than imitating too much, it’s better to come in clearly—this adds contrast and makes it easier to listen to.
Try to sing with care for the words.
Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi7rank/position
The story unfolds in a dialogue format between a man and a woman, centered on the theme of a long-distance relationship.
Since its release in 1975, this song has continued to resonate with many people.
Hiromi Ohta’s pure singing voice beautifully captures the bittersweet feelings of love.
The chorus sits a bit on the higher side, but the overall tempo is relaxed, so you should be able to sing it calmly.
How about singing it gently while reminiscing about memories with someone special? It’s great for livening up a karaoke session, and also recommended for quietly humming alone on a peaceful night.
