Songs Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf: A Collection for Women in Their 70s (1–10)
Stop the clockKusama Rumi
Rumi Kusama’s moving cover of the classic song “Tokei o Tomete” (“Stop the Clock”).
The original was by Jacks, and it was later covered by Carmen Maki and Rumi Kusama.
It’s a hidden gem known to those in the know.
For an easier reference to sing along with, we’ve selected Rumi Kusama’s cover this time.
The piece features a relaxed tempo and emotive vocals; however, despite being emotive, the melody doesn’t fluctuate dramatically in pitch, so when you actually sing it, you may find the vocal line surprisingly plain.
It’s a song that still has plenty of musical impact even when sung in a lower register, so if the high parts feel tough, don’t hesitate to drop the key significantly.
Flying to IstanbulShōno Mayoyo
Mayo Shono’s classic song “Tonde Istanbul.” Among the songs introduced this time, this one is relatively challenging.
That said, its performance impact is high, so it definitely gets the crowd going.
The trickiest part is, without question, the high notes in the chorus.
However, they’re not extremely high, so even women in their 70s can certainly sing it.
The key is to approach the high notes with a slight upward glide—rather than hitting the high note sharply all at once, shape it in an arc as you go up.
This helps even those who struggle with high notes stay on pitch.
Since the A and B sections sit in a narrower range, if it still feels difficult, it’s absolutely fine to lower the key boldly.
applausechiaki naomi
Chiaki Naomi’s classic song “Kassai” is still beloved by many Japanese people today.
Drawn from Chiaki Naomi’s own real-life experience, the piece is a deeply sentimental work that reflects on a deceased sibling.
However, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward and the range isn’t very wide, making it quite easy to sing.
If you find the high notes at the end of the chorus difficult, try reducing your vocal volume as much as possible.
Humans tend to produce more stable high notes with a softer voice than when singing loudly, so please give it a try.
Song of the DawnKishi Yoko
Yoko Kishi is a singer known for her alluring, composed voice.
She has many famous songs, but the one I especially recommend is Yoake no Uta (Song of Dawn).
While this piece is sung in a triple-time feel—a meter that may be a bit unfamiliar to many Japanese listeners—the interlude features a straightforward eighth-note rhythm, making it one of the easier triple-time songs to keep time with.
In addition, the vocal range is narrow, so even women in their seventies who can’t sing high notes should be able to sing it without difficulty.
Please give it a try.
Scat at DawnYuki Saori
Yuki Saori’s biggest hit, “Yoake no Scat.” It’s known for its distinctive opening that begins with the humming “Loo-loo-loo-loo,” and it’s a song beloved across many generations.
Although it’s generally an easy piece to sing, many people may still find it difficult.
It’s true that Yuki Saori’s voice is high, so those who struggle with high notes might find it challenging.
However, that’s simply because her key is high; the song itself doesn’t have a wide vocal range.
As long as you set the key properly, the tempo and vocal line are gentle, making it quite singable.
Give it a try.
