Recommended karaoke songs for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (81–90)
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.
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.
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.
Second LoveNakamori Akina
A heartrending love ballad released in November 1982 that delicately portrays the feelings of a girl inexperienced in romance.
Within its gently enveloping, warm melody, the bashfulness and bittersweet longing of a girl in love are woven.
The song earned Ms.
Nakamori her first-ever No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is regarded as one of her signature works.
Since June 2024, it has also been used as the departure melody at Seibu Ikebukuro Line’s Kiyose Station, continuing to be cherished across generations.
With its relaxed tempo and tender melodic line, this piece is also an easy, soothing choice to sing at karaoke.
Equator Girl: Dokki!Yamashita Kumiko
One of Kumiko Yamashita’s signature songs, ‘Equator Girl Doki!,’ features a sound that blends techno kayō with rock elements.
Its catchy musical style made it a major hit in the 1980s.
Although the song has a bright feel and might seem somewhat high, its overall vocal range isn’t very wide.
Additionally, there are very few long sustained notes, so even those who aren’t confident in their breathing or stamina can sing it without trouble.
If you enjoy upbeat tracks, consider adding this one to your repertoire.
