Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for the tone-deaf (21–30)
Season of LovePinkī to Kirāzu
Pinky and the Killers’ debut single, released in July 1968.
It was a massive hit that sold a total of 2.7 million copies.
The melody and lyrics have that quintessential “Showa Kayō!!!” feel—really striking, aren’t they? I think it’s a hallmark of hits from that era: if you try to sing them earnestly, exactly as written, they demand very high vocal ability, yet at the same time, if you’re just humming along and tracing the melody, they often feel quite easy.
This song is no exception.
In the chorus—well, more like the B-melody—the bright, resonant high notes are crucial.
Paying attention to your vocal production there and keeping it from sounding weak is the key to making it come across well.
celebratory sakeSakamoto Fuyumi
It was released in 1988 as Fuyumi Sakamoto’s third single.
At the 30th Japan Record Awards, it won the Gold Award and went on to become a long-selling hit.
It is often performed at weddings, and thanks to the song’s success, she made her first appearance at the 39th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It remains one of Fuyumi Sakamoto’s notable early signature songs.

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!
Kumano KodoMizumori Kaori
It was released in 2006 as Kaori Mizumori’s 14th single.
It reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and she made her fourth consecutive appearance at the 57th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, performing this song.
Thanks to the song’s success, the Kumano Kodo gained increased attention.
Life is full of ups and downs.Shimakura Chiyoko
This is a single released by Chiyoko Shimakura in 1987, which was used as the theme song for TBS’s Kao Ai no Gekijō drama “Sandoshima.” It is Shimakura’s biggest hit and the song that is always used when people do impressions of her.
A beloved classic over many years, it also won the Best Vocal Performance at the 30th Japan Record Awards.
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.
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.
