Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (91–100)

Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko

This was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single and the theme song for the film of the same name, in which she also starred.

There’s also a different song with the same title, Yume no Tochū, performed by its composer, Takao Kisugi.

It was released in November 1981.

If you’re in your 60s now, many of you probably saw the movie when it first came out.

Yakushimaru’s vocals here are, for better or worse, very “model-student-like,” and even listeners who aren’t confident singers may find it feels quite easy to sing.

If you sing it too breezily, though, there’s a risk it can come off a bit flat, so pay attention to contrast and dynamics in the chorus.

As mentioned, the song itself isn’t particularly difficult, so give it a try!

It was released in 1986 as Teresa Teng’s 16th single.

The song was performed twice on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, in 1986 (the 37th) and in 1991 (the 42nd).

It has also been covered by many artists and is celebrated as one of Teresa Teng’s signature masterpieces.
