Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women in Their 60s That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)
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.
Love Song of Kaze no BonIshikawa Sayuri
This is a single released by Sayuri Ishikawa in 1989, a local song themed around the “Owara Kaze no Bon” festival held every September in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture.
Inspired by Osamu Takahashi’s romance novel “Kaze no Bon Koiuta,” it conveys a sense of poignancy and melancholy.
It has become one of Sayuri Ishikawa’s signature songs, winning the Best Vocal Performance at the 31st Japan Record Awards.
younger boykyandīzu
Candies, an idol group that left behind many classic hits.
Known for their catchy songs, they have many pieces that are easy to sing.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Toshishita no Otokonoko” (Boy Younger Than Me).
While it sometimes features a slightly jazzy arrangement, most of the vocal entrances are on the beat, so it’s easy to grasp the rhythm.
The vocal range is narrow, making it easy to sing; however, be careful with the “shi” sound in the “to-shi-shi-ta” part near the end of the chorus, as it can be a bit difficult to pronounce.
If you keep practicing by holding a disposable chopstick in your mouth and projecting your voice broadly, your pronunciation of “i” and “shi” will become stronger—give it a try.
SUNAHAMAAnri
For many women in their 50s, when you think of nostalgic female singer-songwriters, Anri likely comes to mind.
She has left us with many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is SUNAHAMA.
Though the vocal line has a ballad-like feel, it’s not overly mellow; it’s a blend of ennui and freshness, so there’s no need to belt it out.
The pitch changes are gentle, and there are plenty of rests, so you can sing it comfortably even at a second or third party gathering.
Sentimental JourneyMatsumoto Iyo
A song sung by a 16-year-old girl, whose pure feelings come through straight and clear.
Released in October 1981, this debut work is a masterpiece of idol pop crafted by hitmakers Reiko Yukawa and Kyohei Tsutsumi.
Chosen as the tie-in track for Lotte’s “Ghana Chocolate” commercial, the song brought Iyo Matsumoto to wide public attention, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon charts and selling 343,000 copies.
Its lyrics, which candidly express the authentic emotions of a teenager, resonate across generations and remain etched in many people’s hearts even today.
Hum it with friends who remember those days at reunions or karaoke, and the nostalgia is sure to come flooding back.
Alone in the twilightMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya is a leading Japanese singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
For women in their 50s, she might be the perfect artist.
She has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Hitori in the Twilight.” It features a vocal line that showcases her signature Yuming style, yet the melody doesn’t jump drastically up and down, so it’s relatively easy to keep pitch.
The chorus raises the voltage all at once, but the overall range isn’t that wide, so if you choose the right key, even those with lower voices should be able to sing it without difficulty.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
It was released in 2000 as Miyuki Nakajima’s 37th single.
The song was produced as the theme for NHK General TV’s “Project X: Challengers” and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It also drew attention when Miyuki Nakajima made her first appearance at the 53rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2002, performing it live via satellite from the underground tunnel of the Kurobe River No.
