Karaoke songs recommended for women in their 60s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (51–60)
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.
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.
Green Que Sera SeraOka Midori
It’s a fun, upbeat Reiwa-era rhythm kayō masterpiece that makes any Japanese person want to clap along and start dancing! “Midori no Que Sera Sera” is a song released by Midori Oka in 2021, and as the title suggests, you can sing it comfortably with a carefree “que sera sera—whatever will be, will be” feeling.
The instantly catchy chorus sticks after one listen, and if everyone in your karaoke group sings it together, it’ll definitely liven up the room.
The signature enka vocal flourishes—like heavy kobushi and wide vibrato—are kept modest, and the more natural delivery makes it approachable even for those who feel unsure about singing traditional enka.
First and foremost, have fun and sing along to the cheerful rhythm!
evening drinkNakamura Mitsuko
Mitsuko Nakamura’s poignant classic “Banshaku” (Evening Drink).
While she is renowned for her “man’s songs,” this piece is especially known as one of her most popular in that style.
True to Nakamura’s roots in the Kawachi Ondo tradition, the song primarily employs the hiccup technique, which flips the voice.
The ornamentation (kobushi) that uses this hiccup is less difficult than that of typical enka, resulting in a vocal line that’s easier for beginners to sing.
In addition, the tempo is particularly slow even among her works, and there are well-placed rests before executing the kobushi, which also makes it easier to perform.

A beautiful day for lifekawanaka miyuki
From her debut, Miyuki Kawanaka has been known for her distinctive, rich voice, and lately that voice has gained even more power and presence.
As a result, she’s been releasing more forceful songs as her career progresses.
One recommendation is Jinsei Biyori, released in 2024.
It features a powerful delivery with effective shouts.
While executing the shouts can be challenging, the song has few long sustained notes and doesn’t use rapid melismatic ornamentation (kobushi), so for those familiar with enka, it should be relatively easy to sing.
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.
