Recommended for women in their 60s! Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs

Karaoke is popular across all ages, and of course many women in their 60s also have plenty of chances to go.

But when you actually get to the karaoke place, do you ever find yourself wondering which songs to sing? If you’re thinking, “I don’t really know recent songs, and to be honest I’m not that good at singing…,” I’ll share some recommended tracks for you! I’ve selected songs that seem easy to sing, focusing mainly on tracks from around the 1970s—the era when many people in their 60s spent their youth.

If you’re not confident about karaoke, songs with a slow tempo are recommended.

Some of the songs are more challenging, but they’re all well-known, so for the difficult ones, let’s sing together with everyone!

Recommended for women in their 60s! Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs (71–80)

Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii

This is a song you absolutely can’t sing if you’re feeling shy, so go all out and become Pink Lady in your 60s! Decide in advance who will play Mie and who will play Keiko Masuda, split the parts, and sing as a duo—you’ll be totally in the groove.

If you can, learn the choreography too.

You’ll really feel the greatness of Pink Lady, the idol group loved in the Showa era.

It’s a perfect track to hype up the crowd.

I’m falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi

Fuyumi Sakamoto – I'm Falling in Love with You Again
I'm falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi

A gem of a love song by Fuyumi Sakamoto that gently portrays a rekindled romance blossoming between a long-married couple.

The serene melody and her emotive vocals weave a harmony that deeply resonates with listeners.

With warm, tender strokes, it depicts the precious affection found in everyday moments and gratitude for the many years overcome together.

Released in January 2009 as the coupling track to “Pirates of Asia,” the song also became beloved as the theme for Sanwa Shurui’s Mugi Shochu iichiko commercial.

It is included on the album “Love Songs ~ Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru ~,” and has earned support from a wide range of generations.

A recommended track for anyone wishing to rediscover the value of time spent with someone dear.

Give Up on SummerNaoko Ken

Naoko Ken “Give Up on Summer” Official Lyric Video
Give Up on Summer Naoko Ken

This song, which depicts a melancholy love story on a gloomy rainy day sung by Naoko Ken, was originally by Southern All Stars.

Ken released it as a cover in September 1982.

Her wistful vocals beautifully capture seaside scenery and the poignancy of summer’s end.

The tender way she sings, in a husky voice, about the wavering hearts of a couple caught in a sudden downpour and the fragility of love is deeply moving.

After its release, the song reached No.

5 on the Oricon weekly chart and won the Gold Prize at the 24th Japan Record Awards in 1982.

It was also performed at the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s pleasantly immersive, drawing you into Ken’s distinctive world.

It’s a classic that’s perfect for those who want to enjoy a smooth, subdued atmosphere in karaoke.

Deceived by a guy like HiroshiMizue Takada

Mizue Takada is an idol singer who gained popularity in the late 1970s with her calm vocals.

Thanks to her musical style, many of her songs are easy to sing, but the one I especially recommend is “Sonna Hiroshi ni Damasarete.” It features a vibe somewhat close to surf music, yet the vocal line itself has gently contained pitch movement, making it very easy to sing.

There are quite a few long tones, but since they fade out, you should be able to sing them without needing much lung capacity.

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.

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.

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.
