[For men in their 70s] A collection of easy-to-sing songs even for the tone-deaf (1–10)
Oh, sake!Yoshi Ikuzo
With lyrics that touch the heart and a rich, resonant voice, this is a masterpiece that sings of life’s subtleties.
Reflecting on life through the lens of alcohol, the lyrics depict past memories and emotional wounds, leaving a powerful impression on listeners.
Yoshii Ikuzo’s distinctive timbre and expressive singing further enhance the song’s appeal.
Released in 1988, this piece remains one of his signature works, beloved by many.
Its range isn’t wide and it’s easy to sing, so take your time and perform it with deep passion.
There’s always tomorrowSakamoto Kyu
A famous song widely known among younger generations thanks to Re:Japan’s cover, “Ashita ga Arusa” is, needless to say, a classic by Kyu Sakamoto.
Among his hit numbers, this one is exceptionally easy to sing.
Proof of that lies in the very few long notes and its narrow vocal range.
The rhythm is set in the familiar 4/4 time for Japanese listeners, so you won’t feel uneasy about the entrance.
Men in their 70s who struggle with high notes should definitely give this song a try.
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band
Kai Band is a group beloved by a wide range of generations, from people in their 70s down to their 40s.
They’re a rock band that’s especially popular among men.
Among their works, the one I particularly recommend is Uwagiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).
As one of their early releases, it stands out for its strong folk-music influences.
Since it’s sung in a generally low key throughout, it’s very easy to sing for men in their 70s who can’t reach higher notes.
Give it a try.
To say goodbyebiriibanban
BILY BANBAN is a folk duo that has continued to thrive for many years with gentle vocals and catchy, message-driven songs.
Since they provided a song to Fuyumi Sakamoto and drew renewed attention, there are likely many men in their 70s who often sing BILY BANBAN at karaoke.
A track we recommend for such listeners is Sayonara o Suru Tame ni (To Say Goodbye).
Strongly influenced by kayōkyoku, this folk song doesn’t require a wide vocal range if you exclude the harmony parts, and it has an easy-to-follow rhythm.
And because it’s folk, it tends to sound authentic even without vibrato, which also makes it easier to sing.
A café in a student districtGARO
GARO, a folk group that was hugely popular in the 1970s.
Many men in their 70s probably listened to their songs a lot in their 20s, right? For those listeners, a highly recommended GARO classic is Coffee Shop in the Student Quarter.
It’s a song that anyone from that generation has likely heard at least once.
Because this piece has a slightly wide vocal range, you might feel it’s a bit hard to sing.
It’s true that the phrase at the end of the chorus is only manageable for certain singers, but since it’s a very short phrase, there are actually more people than you’d think who can hit those notes, if only for a moment.
If you approach the high note with a slight upward glide, it sounds convincing, and above all, it’s easier to match the pitch—so give it a try.
