For women in their 60s: Karaoke songs that score well | Classic nostalgic hits (1–10)

The way homeIwasaki Hiromi

Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Ieji” (The Way Home).

Her voice has had a pleasantly mature timbre since her youth, and it particularly shines in lyrical songs like this.

The song’s range spans mid1 E to hi C#, which is fairly common for female vocals.

The tail end of the chorus requires a bit of lung capacity, so be sure to take a deep breath at the preceding break point before singing through it.

This section has a similar vibe to Shizuka Kudo’s “Koi Hitoyo,” so intentionally singing with a lighter touch can also work well.

Minako Honda, who gained popularity with a singing ability you wouldn’t expect from an idol, is still highly regarded by some fans for her vocal performances even after her passing.

Her signature song “Marilyn in 1986” is actually one of the least difficult pieces among her works.

As evidence, it sits within a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to high C#.

The most frequent notes are in the low-to-mid register, so singers of virtually any voice type should be able to handle it without issue.

The vocal line is very gentle, and the mid-tempo pace makes it easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.

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.

Invisible Manpinku redii

Pink Lady’s classic hit “Invisible Man,” which made waves for its distinctive theme and lyrics.

Although the song exudes a very lively vibe, it was released early in their career, and its overall difficulty is relatively low.

In fact, the vocal range is fairly narrow, and the melody line isn’t complex.

Easy to sing yet guaranteed to get a crowd going, this track is perfectly suited as an upbeat number for women in their 60s.

sparrowMasuda Keiko

During her Pink Lady days, Keiko Masuda was known for her lively, energetic vocals, but as a solo artist she showcased a more sultry tone.

A great example of that alluring vocal style is Suzume.

The song sits within a narrow, low range—mid1 A# to mid2 G#—which is quite manageable even for male singers.

And while it’s low, the narrow range means there’s plenty of flexibility to adjust the key, so it should suit virtually any voice.

It’s perfect for karaoke to highlight both sensuality and fragility, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sentimental JourneyMatsumoto Iyo

Matsumoto Iyo, who is currently active as a TV personality, enjoyed tremendous popularity during her idol days.

Many people probably have a strong impression of her song “Sentimental Journey,” right? In fact, this piece is more geared toward men, boasting a fairly low and wide vocal range of mid1 A to hi A#.

However, for women in their 60s, the lower notes are easier to produce, so those who naturally have higher voices will likely find it quite easy to sing.
