[Men in their 60s] Even if you're not good at singing, it's okay! Easy-to-sing karaoke songs (1–10)
Premonition of Loveanzenchitai
This is a representative ballad by Anzen Chitai from the 1980s, characterized by a relaxed melody and a tempo that isn’t too fast.
The overall vocal range of the song is C#3 to G#4, with many lower notes, so expressiveness is more important than pure vocal power.
I think the calm voice of a man in his 60s would really shine here.
In terms of singing style, it’s easy to add dynamics between the verse and the chorus: sing the verse softly, almost as if you’re speaking, and then pour your emotions into the higher notes of the chorus and sing out fully.
That way, it won’t feel flat, and it will be easier for listeners to enjoy.
DepartureMatsuyama Chiharu
It’s Chiharu Matsuyama’s debut song, released in 1977, and one of his signature works.
This song is a memorable one for me because I performed it as a duo with a student, singing while playing.
The structure repeats the opening melody several times, and the chorus finally appears toward the end.
The overall vocal range is C#3 to B4, with a big lift at the chorus, so the high notes come at the end.
It might be a bit high, but if you nail the high part, it’s a really cool song.
Be careful not to force the high notes and strain your throat.
Sing so that your head and chest resonate and your whole body carries the sound.
Since you’ll need plenty of breath, try to inhale deeply using diaphragmatic breathing, and make a conscious effort to project your voice accordingly.
Parting at 22kaze
With a folk-like, simple chord progression and a conversational melody, this is a song you can sing without straining your voice.
Emotion matters more than technique, and even if you’re not confident at singing, a calm tone unique to men in their 60s can convey plenty of charm, making it a safe choice to try at karaoke.
Also, since few people sing folk songs, performing it in a relaxed, listening-focused way will gently touch listeners’ hearts.
When you sing, don’t belt—deliver it as if you’re speaking to match the song’s mood.
Because a spoken style uses more breath, practicing with humming and lip rolls beforehand will make it easier to produce your voice.
outdatedKawashima Eigo
Singer-songwriter Eigo Kawashima, whose refined musicality earned him immense support from men.
For those in their 60s, he might be the perfect artist.
Kawashima produced many masterpieces, but the one I especially recommend is “Jidai Okure” (Behind the Times).
A no-nonsense piece portraying a man that men admire, it became a major hit in the 1980s.
What’s more, it’s a very singable song: the range is narrow, there are few long notes, and it doesn’t require much vibrato, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should be able to handle it without trouble.
I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi
Released in 1994 as Hiromi Go’s 66th single.
The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Omiai no Tatsujin” and as the ending theme for the Fuji TV show “Kamioka Ryūtarō ni wa Damasarenai zo!” It sold over 350,000 copies and became a long-running hit.
It is also one of the most popular ballads by Hiromi Go.
Lingering Snowiruka
“Nagori Yuki” is easy to sing in the original key even for men.
It’s a gentle, tender song, so instead of belting the high notes, try using falsetto to convey a sense of poignancy.
Since it doesn’t require intricate techniques, it’s also a good choice for people who aren’t confident singers to try in a natural, relaxed style.
When you sing, keep your throat generally open and let the voice come out comfortably.
Before singing, lift your facial muscles and eyebrows, then send your voice gently forward.
Doing this lets not only your voice but also your breath flow out together, helping you produce a very pleasing singing tone.
threadNakajima Miyuki
A timeless classic loved across generations, Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito.” It’s a popular choice among men at karaoke and has been covered by many artists.
The song’s overall range is narrow—F3 to A#4—so if you focus on savoring the meaning of the lyrics, you can sing it well even without much volume.
Since the melody has many sustained notes, aim your breath straight toward your target to keep your voice steady.
Relax your shoulders so you can breathe deeply, and inhale while keeping your upper body loose.
