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!

Miyuki Nakajima’s powerful vocals are perfectly matched with the majestic sound.

This work gently illuminates the presence of people who usually go unnoticed yet live earnestly, likening them to “stars.” Released in July 2000 as the theme song for NHK’s popular documentary series “Project X: Challengers,” it gradually drew attention alongside the program’s broadcast.

At the 2002 Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was performed via a live relay from the Kurobe Dam and achieved the highest singer-specific viewership rating of the show.

Aim for dynamic, powerful singing like Miyuki Nakajima’s.

I’m falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi

Fuyumi Sakamoto – I'm Falling in Love with You Again
I'm falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi

A gem of a love song by Fuyumi Sakamoto that gently portrays a rekindled romance blossoming between a long-married couple.

The serene melody and her emotive vocals weave a harmony that deeply resonates with listeners.

With warm, tender strokes, it depicts the precious affection found in everyday moments and gratitude for the many years overcome together.

Released in January 2009 as the coupling track to “Pirates of Asia,” the song also became beloved as the theme for Sanwa Shurui’s Mugi Shochu iichiko commercial.

It is included on the album “Love Songs ~ Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru ~,” and has earned support from a wide range of generations.

A recommended track for anyone wishing to rediscover the value of time spent with someone dear.

Give Up on SummerNaoko Ken

Naoko Ken “Give Up on Summer” Official Lyric Video
Give Up on Summer Naoko Ken

This song, which depicts a melancholy love story on a gloomy rainy day sung by Naoko Ken, was originally by Southern All Stars.

Ken released it as a cover in September 1982.

Her wistful vocals beautifully capture seaside scenery and the poignancy of summer’s end.

The tender way she sings, in a husky voice, about the wavering hearts of a couple caught in a sudden downpour and the fragility of love is deeply moving.

After its release, the song reached No.

5 on the Oricon weekly chart and won the Gold Prize at the 24th Japan Record Awards in 1982.

It was also performed at the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s pleasantly immersive, drawing you into Ken’s distinctive world.

It’s a classic that’s perfect for those who want to enjoy a smooth, subdued atmosphere in karaoke.

SOLITUDENakamori Akina

“SOLITUDE” is a song that blends urban sophistication with elegance, and its lyrics depicting a city woman became a hot topic.

It’s easy to see why, given that the lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa and the music was composed by Yukihide Takakawa of Godiego.

Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice, which is truly stunning.

The lyrics evoke the image of a deserted upper floor of a skyscraper, resonating perfectly when you feel like escaping somewhere alone.

The song has many relatively singable parts, making it approachable even for male vocalists.

It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.

I recommend humming it at least once.

Although it was Masako Mori’s debut single, “Sensei” is also known as one of her signature songs.

Its nostalgic, simple melody that evokes the mood of Showa-era pop, along with lyrics about a tender, secret crush on a teacher from a young girl’s perspective, leave a strong impression.

The tempo is easy to follow, making it a great recommendation for seniors to sing at karaoke! If you include this song in a day-service karaoke activity, you could spice it up with hand clapping to build excitement and add call-and-response parts in the chorus.
