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!

Whenever there’s a “Best Ten Songs of the Showa Era” feature, this song always makes the list.

The original was performed by Kaguya-hime and written by member Shozo Ise.

In 1975, Iruka’s cover version became a huge hit! It’s a song everyone knows and can sing along to, so having the whole group join in on the chorus is highly recommended!

As a female idol group of the Showa era, Candies held a special place.

Among their many upbeat songs, this 1975 release stood out for its particularly cute charm.

For Candies, this track was their first to enter the top 10 on the Oricon charts.

It’s even more fun to sing with the cute choreography and set.

Roppongi HeartbreakAn Ruisu

Ann Lewis’s signature song “Roppongi Shinju.” A rock number that symbolizes the bubble era, it became a nationwide hit, helped by its strikingly mismatched title pairing Roppongi with “double suicide.” Notably, the song has a very narrow vocal range, with the lowest note at mid2 D and the highest at hi A.

While the nature of the rock style calls for a slightly raspy, shouted delivery, the narrow range and mid-tempo BPM make it an excellent choice for aiming at high karaoke scores.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

It’s a single released in 1983, composed by Miyuki Nakajima.

It’s one of the classic songs often played during graduation season.

With its calm tone, it’s easy to sing, and if you pour emotion into the chorus, I think you can express the poignancy of parting with someone you loved.

Detective StoryYakushimaru Hiroko

The classic film “Detective Story,” starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.

This piece was released as the movie’s theme song.

When it comes to Hiroko Yakushimaru’s vocals, her enveloping, gentle voice is distinctive, and this song showcases exactly that.

Overall, the vocal line has little fluctuation, and the range is kept relatively narrow.

It may feel slightly high, but you can handle that with key adjustment, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
