Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (71–80)
To my belovedkawanaka miyuki
Listening to the chorus of this song, many people who know the ’90s well probably recalled the TV commercial for House Foods’ instant ramen “Umaissho.” Released in 1994 as a single by Miyuki Kawanaka, it’s packed with J-pop flavor and sits a bit apart from classic enka, making it an approachable choice for karaoke even if you’re not into full-on enka.
Of course, techniques honed in enka—like vibrato—appear throughout, but it’s nice that the melody still feels great to sing even without vibrato.
Once you’re comfortable, listen closely to Kawanaka’s original performance and try gradually incorporating some vibrato.
Two-person sakekawanaka miyuki
Miyuki Kawanaka’s classic “Futari Sake” is distinguished by its warm, memorable melody.
It’s an orthodox enka piece imbued with a sense of melancholy.
As with typical enka, the challenging kobushi ornament appears multiple times; however, roughly a third of these are not pitch-bending turns so much as kobushi that apply vibrato.
Because this type of kobushi is far easier than the regular kind, the song can definitely be considered an easy one.
Do add it to your repertoire.
A beautiful day for lifekawanaka miyuki
From her debut, Miyuki Kawanaka has been known for her distinctive, rich voice, and lately that voice has gained even more power and presence.
As a result, she’s been releasing more forceful songs as her career progresses.
One recommendation is Jinsei Biyori, released in 2024.
It features a powerful delivery with effective shouts.
While executing the shouts can be challenging, the song has few long sustained notes and doesn’t use rapid melismatic ornamentation (kobushi), so for those familiar with enka, it should be relatively easy to sing.

Scorpio womanMikawa Ken’ichi
A signature song by Kenichi Mikawa that portrays the strength and poignancy of a passionate woman who lives for love.
Released in December 1972, this memorable enka number expresses straightforward affection and the sorrow of betrayal.
Mikawa’s powerful vocals blend beautifully with a distinctive worldview inspired by Scorpio, one of the twelve zodiac signs, and the song sold about 97,000 copies on the Oricon charts.
It was performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009, revealing new charms through various arrangements, including operatic and samba styles.
With its relaxed tempo and gentle melodic contours, it’s also easy to sing—another part of its appeal.
Why not sing it with a sense of nostalgia as a treasured song tied to precious memories?
EnchantedJudi Ongu
It was released in 1979 as Judy Ongg’s 28th single.
According to Oricon’s tally, it sold 1.23 million copies and became one of her signature songs.
The white dress that spread like a fan from hem to wrist when she extended her arms became a hot topic, and the song won the Grand Prize at the 21st Japan Record Awards.
It has also been covered by many artists and is frequently sung at karaoke.
CHA-CHA-CHAIshii Akemi
Akemi Ishii’s classic “CHA-CHA-CHA.” Rooted in Italo disco, this track has a distinctly period feel and became a major hit in the late ’80s.
It’s a bright, danceable song, yet the vocal line is surprisingly simple, without dramatic leaps in pitch.
Although it mainly sits in the mid-to-high to high register, the overall range is narrow, so as long as you adjust the key to suit yourself, it’s singable for any voice type.
If you want to enjoy a dose of nostalgia while you sing, be sure to check it out.
lover; mistress; extramarital partnerTeresa Ten
Teresa Teng has many songs with adult themes, and among them the classic “Lover” is especially known for its mature, bittersweet character.
As one of her signature works, it’s still frequently sung at karaoke today.
While the song features a richly expressive vocal line, its range is surprisingly narrow, staying mostly in the mid or mid-high register.
The development of the melody is also typical of kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), making it a very singable piece, especially for those of a certain age.
