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)

Pink sighTakahashi Mariko

Hideaki Tokunaga – Peach-Colored Sigh (live from VOCALIST & SONGS TOUR)
Pink sighTakahashi Mariko

It is one of Mariko Takahashi’s signature songs, expressing a bewitching, adult world.

The relaxed tempo and the sound that conveys a mysterious, floating sensation are striking.

The lyrics’ portrayal of mature sensuality is a key point; by cherishing the words and conveying the emotions clearly, the seductive atmosphere can truly be expressed.

The image is of singing in a restrained, matter-of-fact manner, and this minimal inflection seems to accentuate the sense of alluring mystery.

atonementTeresa Ten

One of the signature songs by Teresa Teng, the Taiwan-born singer who was hugely popular and known as the Diva of Asia, is “Tsugunai.” Covered by many artists, this song is likely something not only seniors but also younger people have heard somewhere.

It’s a number that conveys the regret and heartache of a couple who have decided to part ways, told from a woman’s perspective.

It can be nice to sing it and lose yourself in memories of past love in a gentle, reflective mood.

A classic karaoke song that’s great to sing and great to listen to!

Sugarcane fieldMoriyama Ryoko

Ryoko Moriyama “Sugarcane Field” (from ‘Concert Tour 2007–2008’)

Throughout the song, a very striking refrain is used, evoking sugarcane in a sugarcane field swaying gently back and forth.

The lyrics tell that many people who died in Okinawa during the war still rest beneath the sugarcane fields.

I think it’s relatively easy to sing as karaoke for a woman in her sixties, but since the song’s motif carries such sorrow, it might call for some discretion depending on the situation.

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.

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.
