[Men in their 60s] It’s okay if you’re not good at singing! Karaoke songs that are easy to sing (111–120)

In 2022, timed with their 50th anniversary debut, the single “Jankenpon GO!!” was released, and this song “Yakusoku” was included as the B-side.

The message in the lyrics—“I want to become someone I can be proud of and go see the person I cherish”—is truly wonderful.

It gives you the courage to face tomorrow and gently warms your heart.

Try taking it on when you want to sing a moving ballad.

Even men who aren’t confident with high notes should be able to handle it.

Catharsis of youthGō Hiromi

Precisely because you love someone, you can’t show your true self in front of them… This song portrays the difficulty of such delicate emotions.

Released in 1980 as the 36th single, “Wakasa no Catharsis” was used as an insert song in the drama “Mrs., Me, and Señor!” Its slightly ennui-laden mood pairs perfectly with Hiromi Go’s wistful vocals.

It’s cool yet heartbreaking—a work with a strikingly dual appeal.

Since the highest notes are quite low, even men who aren’t confident with high tones should find it easy to try.

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi / Shabondama (1991)

The 24th single “Shabondama” became a million seller, aided by the popularity of the tie-in TV drama of the same name.

The lyrical guitar riff in the intro and the delicate acoustic guitar tones give the entire track a bittersweet feel.

With its low key, narrow vocal range, and minimal melodic movement, it’s approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

The emotionally charged lyrics evoke the image of someone struggling yet pressing forward, making it a song that will likely captivate listeners even at karaoke.

CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Kanpai, a song created for a friend’s wedding and released as the title track of the third album.

Beyond the original version, it has become a signature song loved by listeners across generations, thanks to backgrounds such as its inclusion in elementary school music textbooks and numerous cover versions by many artists.

With its very relaxed tempo and simple melody, anyone can sing it comfortably if they set the key to suit their voice.

It’s a heartwarming number that will liven up a group sing-along at karaoke after the event.

Bang, bang, bangZa Supaidāsu

The Spiders “Bang Bang Bang” (1967)

The Spiders, the legendary band that sparked the Group Sounds boom.

Those in their early 60s might not be familiar with them, but those in their late 60s are likely the generation that experienced Group Sounds firsthand.

With that in mind, I recommend Ban Ban Ban.

It’s a classic, as everyone knows.

While it has a strong rock flavor, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained and set within a relatively narrow range.

There aren’t many long notes, either, so it’s also a good choice for those who feel unsure about their breathing.

White Swingbiriibanban

Billy BanBan is a brother folk duo that is still active today.

They’ve created many classic songs over the years, but the one I especially recommend for men in their 60s is Shiroi Buranko (White Swing).

While it falls under the folk genre, it features a rhythm with a touch of soul-like Black music influence.

The vocal range is narrow and there are no parts that require belting, so it’s also great for those aiming for a high score at karaoke.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

A rose has bloomed.Maiku Maki

Mike Maki, a folk singer who also had great success as an actor.

While many folk songs in the 1960s tended to be gloomy, Mike Maki specialized in a fresher, more uplifting style that set him apart.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Bara ga Saita (The Roses Bloomed).

It features a relaxed rhythm and a gentle vocal line.

The range is relatively narrow, so even men in their 60s who can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it without difficulty as long as the key is adjusted.
