I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

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!

the first strong spring windkyandīzu

Spring Storm - Candies

the first strong spring windkyandīzu

As a song that heralds the arrival of spring to the heart, you hear it in various places whenever the seasons change.

This track by Candies was released in March 1976 and became a major hit, ranking 21st on the Oricon year-end chart.

By the time of their farewell concert, it had sold a total of 490,000 copies.

Its charm lies in a melody that enhances a positive mood along with a refreshing sense of the season, and the catchy chorus—hinting at the start of a new romance—rekindles excitement no matter when you listen.

When you feel like welcoming spring, why not try singing it at karaoke?

Judy Ongg’s mysterious aura and curtain-like costume also became a hot topic.

It often appeared as a parody in the skits on “It’s 8 O’Clock! Everyone Assemble!” For karaoke, I think you’ll need to prepare for the English lines in the chorus.

People who aren’t good at English should be careful.

There are also many non-lexical parts like “Ahh” and “Uhhm.” It’s best to sing it in a way that doesn’t get too sexy.

Gypsy QueenNakamori Akina

Gypsy Queen (2014 Remaster)

Gypsy QueenNakamori Akina

Akina Nakamori’s 1986 release “Gypsy Queen” features a distinctive, exotic-sounding arrangement and is easy to tackle at karaoke.

With a clear, translucent voice, the progression from the A verse to the B verse settles while evoking a poignant ache that stirs the heart.

Nakamori’s singing and expressive power are on full display, creating an exceptional melody, and the enveloping chorus is truly breathtaking.

The vocal range is comfortable for men as well, so if you’ve been wanting to try singing Nakamori’s songs, this is a great one to start with.

Agnes Chan – Poppy Flower, 1973

poppy flowerAgunesu Chan

This is the Japanese debut song of Agnes Chan, who came from Hong Kong.

The song begins with her high voice, and even back then it was often imitated.

It has a gentle, folk-song-like feel, and I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

If you can, try doing an impression of Agnes as well.
