Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (71–80)
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.
Graduation PhotoArai Yumi
“Graduation Photo” is one of Yumi Arai’s signature hit songs, with both lyrics and music by Arai herself.
It is also known as a quintessential graduation song.
The track is included on her 1975 album COBALT HOUR.
As the title suggests, many people may have sung it as a class chorus during their school days or at graduation ceremonies.
The song has been covered by many artists, so if you’re interested, try searching online and enjoy the various versions.
It could also be helpful as a reference when singing it at karaoke!
SUNAHAMAAnri
For many women in their 50s, when you think of nostalgic female singer-songwriters, Anri likely comes to mind.
She has left us with many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is SUNAHAMA.
Though the vocal line has a ballad-like feel, it’s not overly mellow; it’s a blend of ennui and freshness, so there’s no need to belt it out.
The pitch changes are gentle, and there are plenty of rests, so you can sing it comfortably even at a second or third party gathering.
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?
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!
