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!

Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.

While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.

SARD UNDERGROUND “Are You Sane About That Marriage?” MV
Are you sane to marry them?SARD UNDERGROUND

This is the fourth digital single by the three-woman rock band SARD UNDERGROUND, released in July 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TOKYO MX drama “Sono Kekkon, Shouki Desu ka?” (Are You Sane to Marry?).

As SARD UNDERGROUND originated as a ZARD tribute band, the song strongly reflects ZARD’s style.

The vocal melody is very straightforward and easy to remember, making it a tune many people can casually hum along to.

Throughout the song, singing lightly and without tension is the key to making it sound good, so please give it a try.

Life Has Its Ups and Downs – Chiyoko Shimakura – Guitar Solo Cover
Life is full of ups and downs.Shimakura Chiyoko

This is a song released by Chiyoko Shimakura in 1987.

It became her biggest hit.

The lyrics evoke her own eventful life.

For people of a generation that has fully experienced both the joys and hardships of life, it’s a song that makes everyone nod in agreement, so I think it’s a piece everyone can sing together (or chime in with call-and-response).

My Castle Town / Rumiko Koyanagi (with lyrics)
My castle townKoyanagi Rumiko

Nowadays, it’s perfectly normal to confess your feelings over LINE, but in the 1950s and ’60s it was an era when even saying “I like you” wasn’t allowed, and most first loves ended faintly, wistfully, and sadly.

There are surely many women who can relate to the song “Watashi no Jokamachi.” Even now, in these changed times, it’s nice to sing it while recalling those bittersweet feelings.

The melody is easy to remember and easy to sing.

SUNAHAMAAnri

For many women in their 50s, when you think of nostalgic female singer-songwriters, Anri likely comes to mind.

She has left us with many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is SUNAHAMA.

Though the vocal line has a ballad-like feel, it’s not overly mellow; it’s a blend of ennui and freshness, so there’s no need to belt it out.

The pitch changes are gentle, and there are plenty of rests, so you can sing it comfortably even at a second or third party gathering.
