Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for the tone-deaf (21–30)
The Wind RisesMatsuda Seiko
Released in 1981, this was Seiko Matsuda’s seventh single.
It was also used at the time in a Glico Pocky commercial.
I imagine some women now in their 60s might have had the “Seiko-chan cut” back in their school days.
As long as you pay attention to the key you set for yourself, I think it’s a melody that’s very easy for anyone to sing, so I hope you’ll enjoy singing it while reminiscing about your student days.
Since Seiko-chan’s songs have a very distinctive singing style, it might be fun to do a bit of an impersonation, too!
Pink sighTakahashi Mariko
Mariko Takahashi’s 10th single, released in May 1984.
It was used in a Camellia Diamond commercial and was a breakout hit at the time.
Many people have probably at least heard the chorus melody.
The song blends characteristics of ‘New Music,’ an evolution of 1970s folk songs, with elements of Showa-era kayōkyoku, making it a tune I’d recommend as familiar and easy to remember, especially for women in their 60s.
Listening to her performance, you might think the key isn’t that high, but when you actually sing it, you’ll likely notice there are parts that require unexpectedly high tones.
Please pay close attention to your key setting when you sing it.

To Marie on Fifth AvenuePedoro & Kapurishasu
The classic “Gohbangai no Marie e” by Pedro & Capricious, released in 1973.
It’s from the period when Mariko Takahashi was the vocalist, and it’s still a song you often hear on TV today.
The piece sits within a typical female vocal range of mid1 E to high C.
The vocal line is gentle and easy to follow pitch-wise, and while the range itself isn’t difficult, the sustained higher notes from the middle of the chorus onward require a certain level of stamina.
Since the song doesn’t feature much low range, if you’re unsure about sustaining the high notes, try lowering the key by one or two semitones.
Lips, speak passionately of youWatanabe Machiko
Machiko Watanabe is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her powerful vocals.
She has left many classic songs, and among them, “Kuchibiru yo, Atsuku Kimi o Katare” is particularly easy to sing.
Because of her strong voice, it may sound difficult at first listen, but there aren’t many intricate pitch fluctuations.
However, there is a brief moment in the chorus where a falsetto appears.
Adjust the key so that you can either sing that part in chest voice or hit the falsetto in the most comfortable key for you.
Because I Want to See You ~Missing You~Matsuda Seiko
It was released in 1996 as Seiko Matsuda’s 38th single.
It was used as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Beat Takeshi’s TV Tackle” and as the image song for Canon’s “PIXEL.” It became her biggest hit and earned her first million-seller.
As a ballad about adult love, it remains a popular choice for karaoke.
Love is overŌyō Fifi
It’s a single released by Fifi Ouyang in 1979 that reached number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and has become one of her signature songs in Japan.
Covered by many artists, it’s a classic heartbreak song cherished across generations.
Playback Part 2Yamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi’s classic “Playback Part 2,” which gained nationwide popularity with its novel setting at a traffic accident scene.
While the song features a somewhat unconventional structure, including bold break points, it boasts exceptional singability thanks to its very narrow range of mid2 A# to Hi A#.
The tricky part is the section that enters the chorus after the late-stage break point, so be sure to count the beats carefully before you come in.
It’s a huge hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
