Love VacationZa Pīnattsu
A classic that weaves the sweet memories of summer sun and love with a light, jazzy rhythm and the duo’s beautiful harmonies.
Its lyrics poetically depict lovers talking about love by the seaside, while its fresh arrangement brilliantly blends different musical genres.
After its release in April 1963, The Peanuts performed the song at the 14th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It was also used as the campaign song for Toray’s summer wear “Vacance Look,” helping popularize the word “vacance” in Japan.
The swingy four-beat rhythm is easy on the ears, making it a cheerful song to sing.
It’s a perfect pick for those who want to have fun and liven things up with friends.

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.
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.
SWEET MEMORIESMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda’s classic “SWEET MEMORIES.” Because it’s still covered by many artists today, it’s loved not only by women in their 60s but also by younger generations.
It’s also a very easy song to sing.
While it may give the impression of being somewhat high, its vocal range isn’t actually that wide.
The melodic rises and falls are relatively gentle, so even those who struggle with pitch should be able to sing it smoothly.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
My heart is stop-motionKuwae Tomoko
Tomoko Kuwae, who made her name as a singer and radio personality, is known for a musical style centered on New Music and City Pop, and won fans with her expansive, mature vocals.
Among her songs, the one especially recommended for women in their 60s is My Heart Is Stop Motion.
While the piece features many long tones, the rhythm is relatively relaxed and there are no dramatic jumps in pitch, making it a very easy song to sing.
It’s also recommended for those who want to practice vibrato.
Please give me wingsakai tori
A song released by the folk group Red Bird on February 5, 1971, as the B-side to “Takeda no Komoriuta.” Later, after Shoji Hashimoto of the textbook publisher Kyoiku Geijutsu Sha included it in school textbooks, it became well-known as a choral piece and began to be frequently featured in educational settings from the late 1970s.
For that reason, in Japan it’s a beloved song familiar to people of all ages—something nearly everyone can sing.
Many of you reading this may also have performed it in your school choir competitions.
Because its melody and lyrics are likely recognizable to almost anyone, even those who’ve grown distant from singing as adults may find it easy to add to their karaoke repertoire.
Please enjoy singing it as you reminisce about your elementary and junior high school days!
Blue Light Yokohamaishida ayumi
It was released in 1968 as Ayumi Ishida’s 26th single.
A representative local song of Yokohama, it has also become one of Ayumi Ishida’s signature hits, selling over 1.5 million copies and achieving million-seller status.
Thanks to the song’s huge success, she made her first appearance at the 20th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1969.
It remains a popular song because it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
