[Men in their 60s] No worries if you’re not good at singing! Easy-to-sing karaoke songs (31–40)

ff (fortissimo)HOUND DOG

The 10th single by the Japanese rock band HOUND DOG, released in August 1985.

It was used as a commercial song for Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles.

It’s a medium-tempo rock number with a strongly heroic atmosphere throughout! The vocal melody is very simple, and the range used isn’t very wide, so even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing it casually.

Feel the beat of the backing track firmly, and, just as the title suggests, sing out with power and enjoy it.

The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi

Yasushi Nakanishi’s classic, filled with gentle yet heartrending emotion, is a ballad about parting with a lover.

The breakup scene, overlaid with imagery of rain, along with the portrayal of deep affection, possessiveness, and the acceptance of being unable to make the other person happy, leaves a strong impression.

The beautiful arrangement of piano and strings further highlights the crystalline quality of his vocals.

Released in August 1992, it was later used as the theme song for Hitachi’s “Ashita P-KAN Kibun!” and gradually gained support, ultimately becoming a massive hit with total sales of 900,000 copies.

In karaoke, its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range make it easy to sing calmly.

Why not sing it while carefully unfolding its story-like lyrics, together with your cherished memories?

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.

Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” While this song is renowned for being easy to sing, that doesn’t mean it has a narrow vocal range.

In fact, it spans a fairly typical range from mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why does it feel easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, essentially the “A” area—right in the middle register where people find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line itself doesn’t fluctuate much either, so as long as you adjust the key appropriately, it can be considered an easy song to sing.

countrysideTamaki Kōji

Even after suspending activities with Anzen Chitai, Koji Tamaki has continued to leave behind numerous masterpieces as a singer-songwriter.

Among his many great songs, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing and guaranteed to get the crowd going is Den-en.

Although its vocal range is very narrow—mid1D to mid2E—it still has well-crafted points of excitement, making it a song with an outstanding balance of singability and energy.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Body and Soul / DOWN TOWN BOOGIE WOOGIE BAND (Downtown Boogie Woogie Band) [At the time / FULL!!]

If you want to sing a passionate song, we recommend “Mi mo Kokoro mo.” This piece was released in 1977 by the band led by Ryudo Uzaki, the Downtown Boogie-Woogie Band.

Since it was used as the theme song for the popular drama “Detective Story,” many people will likely find it familiar.

In this song, most of the vocals are set in the lower register except for part of the chorus.

As your voice gains richness with age, this could be a great track to practice if you want to master a cool, gritty singing style.

Released as a single by Takashi Hosokawa in 1982, the song became a major hit because it leaned more toward a lively kayōkyoku/J-pop style than traditional enka, and it won the 25th Japan Record Award.

It is not only one of the signature songs of 1982, but also one of Hosokawa’s best-known tracks and a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
