Recommended for women in their 60s! Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs (21–30)
Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko
It was the theme song for the Kadokawa film “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun.” Hiromi Yakushimaru, who burst onto the scene like a shooting star, was incredibly cute.
The song is pleasantly straightforward, so I think it’s suitable for beginners.
You can sing it without using very high or very low notes, so it’s reassuring even for people in their 60s whose vocal range has narrowed a bit.
It’s also a song with a nostalgic, era-defining feel, so be sure to sing it when the conversation turns to reminiscences!
Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi
This is a song released by Hiromi Ohta in 1975.
Written by Takashi Matsumoto and composed by Kyohei Tsutsumi—the golden duo of the time—it became an explosive hit.
The song portrays a long-distance romance in an era without smartphones or email, and it makes you feel as if you’re watching a self-contained drama.
With a moderately up-tempo rhythm and a straightforward melodic line, it’s a song that appeals to everyone and is fun to sing.

Boat SongYashiro Aki
It’s a single released in 1979.
It’s one of her signature songs, and the lyrics are sung from a male perspective.
Rather than singing it gently, it might be better to give it a slightly masculine feel.
The folk-style section that appears in the middle of the song is based on the “Dan-chone-bushi” melody.
Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi has left us with many classic songs, but when it comes to the track that most embodies the Showa era, many people probably picture Yumesaki Annainin.
Wrapped in a nostalgic Showa-kayo melody, this piece—characteristic of its time—uses a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 E to hi A#.
Because this range is also common in male-vocal songs, even women in their 60s, whose voices may be harder to project with age, should be able to sing it without issue.
The lyrics flow smoothly, the tempo is relaxed, and the pitch movement is gentle, making it an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
The Day the Seagulls FlewWatanabe Machiko
If you ask whether this song is easy to sing, I’d say it’s debatable.
The melody is catchy and easy to remember, but the range is quite wide and it requires some vocal power, so you do need a bit of skill to sing it.
That said, don’t worry too much about that—it’s a real crowd-pleaser, so I definitely recommend it for karaoke when you’re with friends.
How about we practice a little? Haha.
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing here is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used in many TV show theme songs and commercials, and has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have likely heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known track, both the melody and the lyrics are very memorable, and it’s the kind of song you can enjoy singing casually, almost like humming along.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.
The Bride of SetoKoyanagi Rumiko
A local song set in the Seto Inland Sea, released in 1972.
It was a perfect fit for Rumiko Koyanagi’s image as a pure, wholesome idol at the time.
Its gentle, nostalgic melody makes it appealing for everyone to hum along together.
