Recommended karaoke songs for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (81–90)
BirdsongSugita Kaoru
A song produced as an insert track for the drama Ikemaka Genta 80 Kilos (starring Toshiyuki Nishida), featuring Kaoru Sugita—who broke out playing Yukino Asai in the first series of the smash-hit drama Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B—released in June 1981.
It’s said that a version sung by Toshiyuki Nishida was also used in the same drama.
As is characteristic of early ’80s pop songwriting, this track sits somewhere between Showa-era kayōkyoku and new music, and when you listen now, it’s built around a very nostalgic, approachable melody.
For some people, the B melody—the chorus—may be a bit demanding in the higher range, so be mindful of the key you choose and focus on singing the melody straightforwardly.
Hello, baby.Azusa Michiyo
Released in 1963 (Showa 38), this is Michiyo Azusa’s big hit.
As the title suggests, it’s sung gently, brightly, and briskly, as if cooing to a baby, so it’s a tune that just about anyone can hum along to with ease.
The B section calls for a slightly more projected, soaring style of singing, so be mindful to use solid vocal production there.
Since Michiyo Azusa herself had considerable vocal prowess, faithfully recreating her performance might make this a somewhat challenging song to sing.
Crossing Amagi PassIshikawa Sayuri
This is a song released by Sayuri Ishikawa in July 1986, which won the Gold Prize at the 28th Japan Record Awards that same year.
There’s also an anecdote that, amid the karaoke boom at the time, it was created as a high-difficulty piece that only Ishikawa could sing, so it might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers.
However, the melodic development is likely much easier to memorize than modern pop, making it a quintessential example of “Showa kayō” style—so try learning it and give it a go.
As for enka’s unique vocal techniques, it’s perfectly fine to ignore them if they seem too difficult and just sing it your own way!
Jindo MonogatariTendō Yoshimi
Released in 1996 as Yoshimi Tendo’s 32nd single.
Inspired by the sea-parting phenomenon at Jindo, South Korea, the song expresses longing for a faraway loved one.
It sold over 1.3 million copies, becoming Tendo’s first million-seller and biggest hit.
It also remains enduringly popular for karaoke.
Northern innMiyako Harumi
Released in 1975 as Harumi Miyako’s 66th single.
With lyrics by Yū Aku and music by Asei Kobayashi, it sold over 1.4 million copies, achieving million-seller status.
It won the Grand Prize at both the 18th Japan Record Awards and the 9th Japan Cable Radio Awards, and the double win was a sensational first in history at the time.
It is one of Harumi Miyako’s most popular signature songs.
