People often assume that enka or kayōkyoku suit those in their 60s, but we’ve also included many folk and pop songs from the 1970s—the era when today’s sixty-somethings likely spent their youth.

We’ve focused on songs with melodies that seem easy to sing, and some articles include tips on how to sing them well.

Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for the tone-deaf (31–40)

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!

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.

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.

After her success as a member of Amin, Takako Okamura also flourished as a singer-songwriter.

She has an exceptionally clear voice and excels at simple vocals that make the most of her tone.

“Yume wo Akiramenaide” is one of her signature songs.

Its range is narrow and there’s not much vibrato, so simply staying on pitch is enough to aim for a high score.

While the scarcity of long tones makes it a bit harder to rack up bonus points with vibrato or falls, the pitch is undeniably easy to follow—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
