Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for the tone-deaf (21–30)
Glass SlopeTakada Mizue
It was released in 1977 as Mizuê Takada’s debut single.
It became a hit, reaching the top 10 on the Oricon charts, winning the Best New Artist Award at the 6th FNS Music Festival, and also receiving the New Artist Award at the 19th Japan Record Awards.
It is regarded as one of Mizuê Takada’s signature songs.
Shiretoko Ryojo (Shiretoko Travel Sentiment)Katō Tokiko
The original song was written by Hisaya Morishige, who was both an actor and a singer, and was released in 1960.
The Tokiko Kato version introduced here was included on her 1970 album “Nihon Aikashu” (Collection of Japanese Laments) and was released as a single the following year.
As a song sometimes noted for having an opening melody similar to “Soushunfu” (Early Spring Score), it features a very easy-to-sing melody reminiscent of songs you might find in a school music textbook—what are often called Ministry of Education songs.
Along with Kato’s consistently calm vocal delivery, it’s a piece that’s very easy to remember and sing.
Throughout, please sing gently and softly.
The key to making it sound good is to relax and sing without forcing it.
Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi
Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.
The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.
Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.
It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
My boyfriend is left-handed.Asaoka Megumi
It was released in 1973 as Megumi Asaoka’s fifth single overall.
It is the only work of hers to reach No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and many people sing it while imitating its distinctive choreography.
Thanks to the song’s success, she made her first appearance at the 24th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
I’m sorry…Takahashi Mariko
Released in 1996 as Mariya Takahashi’s 26th single, this song was chosen as the 15th theme for Nippon TV’s “Tuesday Suspense Theater.” It became a long-running seller thanks to strong support from the show’s target audience of housewives.
Among Takahashi’s singles, it stands as her biggest hit, and the song was performed at the end of 2016—twenty years after its release—on the 67th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Lingering Snowiruka
This is a famous song whose dolphin version, also introduced in this section, became a big hit.
In fact, the original was included on the folk duo Kaguyahime’s album “Sankaidate no Uta,” released in March 1973.
The cover version by Iruka was released as a single in November 1975.
Some parts of the melody differ from the original.
For people in their 50s and 60s today, this song is a standard at school choir contests and other music events.
Many can probably hum it with ease, so please enjoy!
Farewell SongNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima is a female singer-songwriter who has created many classic songs with lyrics that pierce the heart.
She has a wealth of famous tracks, but the one I especially recommend is Wakare Uta.
Though somewhat lesser-known, this piece is characterized by a melody that is particularly close to traditional kayōkyoku among her works.
Because of that, women in their 60s will likely find the vocal line especially familiar.
The vocal range is also relatively narrow, so even those who can’t hit high notes can sing it without difficulty.
