[For men in their 70s] A collection of easy-to-sing songs even for the tone-deaf (21–30)
threadNakajima Miyuki
This song, which skillfully expresses the bonds between people, is a masterpiece that showcases Miyuki Nakajima’s unique poetic sensibility.
Through the warp and weft that weave a single piece of cloth, it profoundly questions the miracle of encounters and the meaning of life.
Released in 1992, it became widely known after being used as the theme song for a 1998 TV drama.
Since then, it has been covered by many artists and has gained popularity at weddings and karaoke.
Its melody is approachable for older listeners and can prompt reflection on life’s experiences.
With a modest vocal range and few large interval leaps, it’s also an easy song to sing for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
Tokyo lights, foreverShinkawa Jirō
Because enka requires applying kobushi (melismatic bends), it tends to be harder to sing than typical J-pop.
Even so, I imagine many men in their 70s still want to sing enka.
In that case, I recommend Tokyo no Hi yo Itsu Made mo.
Compared to standard enka, this song has a somewhat plain vocal line.
As a result, the instances of kobushi are relatively few for enka, and the ones that do appear are on the easier side.
Although the piece sits a bit higher in range, it doesn’t demand many long sustained notes, so anyone who can produce moderately high tones should be able to sing it without issue.
Let’s get married.yoshida takurou
This work is memorable for its translucent, beautiful melody and sweet, poignant vocals.
Released in 1972, the song marked a major turning point in the history of folk music.
Centered on acoustic guitar, its warm sound creates an atmosphere that gently envelops feelings of love.
While poetically depicting springtime scenes, Takuro Yoshida expresses sincerity and pure affection.
Simple yet profound in its message, this classic reached a peak of No.
3 on the Oricon weekly chart.
Its heartwarming, gentle tone and tender vocal timbre enrich everyday moments.
It’s a song to savor slowly on a blossoming spring day, reminiscing with those of the same generation as memories come into full bloom.
Look up at the stars in the nightSakamoto Kyu
Kyu Sakamoto’s classic “Ue o Muite Arukō (Look Up at the Stars at Night)” remains beloved by many even today.
Its greatest charm is, above all, its kindness-filled melody.
In essence, a “kind” melody means a gentle, calm vocal line.
Because there aren’t abrupt jumps in pitch, many people—even men in their 70s—may find it easy to sing.
The key to singing it well is to nail the starting pitch of the A melody section.
That part only comes once, so if you get through it, the rest is easy.
Focus on repeatedly practicing just the opening phrase.
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your handsSakamoto Kyu
Its charm lies in the way you can enjoy it by expressing a heartwarming classic through full-body movement.
It’s a song that lets you share the joy of connecting with others along with a simple, familiar melody.
Released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1964, it became one of his signature songs alongside “Ue o Muite Arukou” (“Sukiyaki”).
Based on an American folk song, Toshito Kimura wrote the Japanese lyrics with wishes for peace and friendship.
A heartwarming experience in the Philippines inspired the creation of this song, and it is said to have spread through activities at the YMCA.
It has been widely used in films and commercials and has long been cherished in educational settings.
Why not enjoy clapping and body movements together with seniors and let the conversation blossom with fond memories?
