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 (81–90)

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.

Love VacationZa Pīnattsu

A classic that weaves the sweet memories of summer sun and love with a light, jazzy rhythm and the duo’s beautiful harmonies.

Its lyrics poetically depict lovers talking about love by the seaside, while its fresh arrangement brilliantly blends different musical genres.

After its release in April 1963, The Peanuts performed the song at the 14th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It was also used as the campaign song for Toray’s summer wear “Vacance Look,” helping popularize the word “vacance” in Japan.

The swingy four-beat rhythm is easy on the ears, making it a cheerful song to sing.

It’s a perfect pick for those who want to have fun and liven things up with friends.

Keiko Fuji — Keiko’s Dream Opens at Night
Keiko's Dream Opens at NightFuji Keiko

This song was incredibly shocking to me when I listened to it as a child.

Sadly, she has passed away, but she was none other than Utada Hikaru’s mother.

It’s a song that sings about the shadows of Japan’s postwar period of rapid economic growth, and I think there are quite a few women of the same generation who can relate to it.

It’s not a song that livens up a karaoke session, but it’s one I recommend for quietly singing while reflecting on those times.

JunTakahashi Mariko

Singer Mariko Takahashi, who thrives with her powerful vocals, is not to be missed—especially her breakup song “Jun.” Set on a pier in Yokohama, the song portrays the parting of the female protagonist and a man called Jun.

A key point is how vividly it conveys the woman’s inner feelings as she wishes not to break up.

Because of this, listeners with or without similar experiences can immerse themselves in its world.

The mellow sound that heightens the dramatic development is also a major draw.

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.
