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!

I’ll wait.amin

A song by the female duo Aming, released in 1982.

They entered that year’s Popcon with this song and won the Grand Prix.

“Matsu Wa” became a huge hit, ranking No.

1 in Oricon’s annual sales for 1982, and they also appeared on the Kohaku Uta Gassen.

With its easy-to-remember melody and no extreme ups and downs in pitch, it’s very easy to sing.

Nancy of Summer ColorsHayami Yū

Amid the idol boom of the 1980s, Yū Hayami achieved especially remarkable success.

She has produced many classic songs, and among them, “Natsuiro no Nancy” garnered particularly great popularity.

Although the song stands out for its bright and refreshing melody, the vocal line is surprisingly gentle in its rises and falls, and the range isn’t very wide.

The pitch is easy to follow as well, making it a singable choice for women in their 50s who are familiar with the track.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Forget-me-not to youBaishō Chieko

The forget-me-not’s flower language is literally “Please don’t forget me.” The lyrics of this song are very profound.

They can be interpreted as a love story, the sorrow of war, or about friends and parents.

As you grow older, you will experience many sad farewells and joyful encounters.

In such times, singing this song may soothe your heart.

It’s a highly recommended piece that you can truly sing only after you’ve gained some years.

Heavenly KissMatsuda Seiko

Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs, but for women in their early 50s, “Heavenly Kiss” may be the one that left the strongest impression.

Among her tracks, this piece is especially characterized by its refreshing melody, yet surprisingly its vocal range isn’t particularly wide.

The English lyrics in the chorus might be a tricky part, but as long as you can pronounce them clearly, it’s quite a singable song.

If you were on Team Seiko back in the day and are now in your 50s, why not give this one a try?

A signature song by Kenichi Mikawa that portrays the strength and poignancy of a passionate woman who lives for love.

Released in December 1972, this memorable enka number expresses straightforward affection and the sorrow of betrayal.

Mikawa’s powerful vocals blend beautifully with a distinctive worldview inspired by Scorpio, one of the twelve zodiac signs, and the song sold about 97,000 copies on the Oricon charts.

It was performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years from 2006 to 2009, revealing new charms through various arrangements, including operatic and samba styles.

With its relaxed tempo and gentle melodic contours, it’s also easy to sing—another part of its appeal.

Why not sing it with a sense of nostalgia as a treasured song tied to precious memories?
