Easy-to-Sing Songs Recommended for Men in Their 70s: A Collection of Karaoke Classics (21–30)
They were youngOzaki Kiyohiko
I once had a student in their sixties who sang nothing but Kiyohiko Ozaki songs! If you don’t sing regularly, it might be hard to get your voice out, but “Futari wa Wakakatta” doesn’t go very high, so I think you can sing it in a relaxed way.
The melody is simple, so it’s also a good one to learn anew.
The beginning sits quite low, so make sure to resonate your voice so it doesn’t get muffled.
Try raising your hands to head level and slowly project your voice toward them.
Your facial muscles will naturally lift, and you should feel the resonance in your head, making it easier to hear your own voice.
When the chorus comes, it’s good to consciously sing out more firmly!

Its poetic lyrics, likening life to a journey, possess a literary depth and convey a strong determination to keep moving forward while overcoming hardships.

Why not join your voices together and sing it, savoring the poetry as you go?
