Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women in Their 60s That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)
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.
Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako
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.
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.
The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko
It was released in 1972 as Rumiko Koyanagi’s fourth single.
This song is highly popular as a representative local tune of the Seto Inland Sea, and its lyrics depict the scene and feelings of a bride moving to a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, along with her determination for a new life.
It is one of Rumiko Koyanagi’s signature songs, having won the Grand Prize at the 3rd Japan Kayō Awards.
Festival MamboMisora Hibari
This is a single record released by Hibari Misora in 1952.
Set to the then-popular mambo rhythm, the song was created around the theme of the festival-loving spirit of Edo natives.
Among Hibari Misora’s hit songs, it became especially beloved for its bright, light, and lively rhythm, and it remains a popular choice for karaoke.
Farewell, Siberian RailwayŌta Hiromi
Hiromi Ohta, the female singer known for songs like “Cotton Handkerchief.” Because many people have the impression that her voice is high, some may assume her songs are difficult to sing.
That’s why I recommend “Farewell Siberian Railway.” This piece features a very refined, understated melody and is set within a fairly narrow vocal range.
With its strong Showa-era kayōkyoku essence, the vocal line rises and falls gently, making it easier to sing.
Heavenly KissMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs, but for women in their early 50s, “Heavenly Kiss” may be the one that left the strongest impression.
Among her tracks, this piece is especially characterized by its refreshing melody, yet surprisingly its vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
The English lyrics in the chorus might be a tricky part, but as long as you can pronounce them clearly, it’s quite a singable song.
If you were on Team Seiko back in the day and are now in your 50s, why not give this one a try?
