Wine Red Heartanzenchitai

The wistful melody and Koji Tamaki’s distinctive vocals are striking, and I’m sure many people include Anzen Chitai in their repertoire.

I love them myself, so I think this is a song I’d be happy to hear sung with a deep, cool voice! The melody doesn’t have many parts where you need to belt, so there’s no need to strain your throat.

Sing calmly, almost like you’re speaking, and enjoy the atmosphere of the song.

The chorus does have a few slightly higher notes, so if you aim your voice properly at those spots, your breath will flow smoothly and you’ll be able to sing comfortably!

Rainy BlueTokunaga Hideaki

It’s a quintessential heartbreak ballad from the late Showa to early Heisei era, and when you sing it at karaoke, it really lends itself to a gentle, heartfelt delivery.

Since it’s a ballad, the tempo is slow, and you can take solid breaths with each phrase, so it’s easy to sing.

The overall vocal range is quite wide, from B2 to C#5, but you might not need to worry about technique—just lean into the emotion and push through.

The melody at the end of the song gets very climactic, so there are probably many people who practice just that part.

Use your falsetto well, avoid over-belting, and aim to resonate more in the head voice as you sing!

Becoming a Thousand WindsAkiyama Masashi

Thanks to Masafumi Akikawa, who comes from a classical vocal background, the song became a huge hit, and many people probably try to imitate it at karaoke.

It’s a piece that shines even when sung naturally rather than with classical technique, so relax and sing it in your own voice.

The overall vocal range of the song is B2 to F#4, so it tends to pull toward the lower register.

Before you start singing, try adopting the kind of facial expression Akikawa uses—this helps open the throat and makes it easier to use your breath, so this part is worth imitating! Low notes can unconsciously strain your throat, so if you project your voice slowly straight out in front of you, your body will resonate and the sound will come out more easily.

Try doing this consciously!

They were youngOzaki Kiyohiko

I once had a student in their sixties who sang nothing but Kiyohiko Ozaki songs! If you don’t sing regularly, it might be hard to get your voice out, but “Futari wa Wakakatta” doesn’t go very high, so I think you can sing it in a relaxed way.

The melody is simple, so it’s also a good one to learn anew.

The beginning sits quite low, so make sure to resonate your voice so it doesn’t get muffled.

Try raising your hands to head level and slowly project your voice toward them.

Your facial muscles will naturally lift, and you should feel the resonance in your head, making it easier to hear your own voice.

When the chorus comes, it’s good to consciously sing out more firmly!

Shadows of YouthTULIP

Many people in their 60s have been exposed to folk music.

Among them, TULIP was a band with phenomenal mainstream appeal, so just about everyone knows them.

Their classic “Seishun no Kage” is very easy to sing.

It might feel a bit high, but that’s due to Kazuo Zaizu’s vocal timbre; the song’s range is actually on the narrower side.

The tempo is slow and there aren’t complex melodic jumps, so anyone can sing it with ease.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Scarecrow / Masashi Sada (Masashing World Concert “Carnival”)

Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter renowned for his unparalleled, exquisitely crafted lyrics.

If you’re in your 60s, chances are you’ve encountered his music at least once.

Among his many songs, the one I especially recommend is Kakashi (Scarecrow).

Centered on a delicate story and melody that evoke a distant hometown, the vocal line is intentionally understated.

It doesn’t require powerful projection, making it a perfectly singable choice for karaoke at second or third after-parties.

Travel Lodgeyoshida takurou

Singer-songwriter Takuro Yoshida, known for his refined musicality, has a large male fanbase.

Even today, many men in their 60s are surely still captivated by him.

Among Yoshida’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Tabi no Yado (Inn on the Journey).

It features a distinctly understated, mature sound, blending folk with elements of blues and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song).

Since there are no high parts at all, it’s very manageable even for men who find high notes difficult.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
