[Men in their 60s] It’s okay even if you’re not good at singing! Karaoke songs that are easy to sing (51–60)

Kanbokusadamasashi

Released in November 1984 and included on the album that went on sale in December of the same year, “Kan Hokuto” is a simple yet poignant song that quietly reflects on the narrator’s parents when returning to their hometown.

Many listeners will recognize the situation—seeing parents and grandparents after a long time and feeling a painful squeeze in the chest at how much they’ve aged.

Because its vocal range is relatively narrow and the rhythm is straightforward, this piece is one of Masashi Sada’s more singable songs.

Why not try singing it while thinking of your family back home?

The sea is in love.Za Riganīzu

The Rigannies were a folk group active in the late 1960s.

While their music was primarily folk, they also had many slightly tropical-sounding songs reminiscent of Yuzo Kayama, and their broad musical range made them popular.

Among the Rigannies’ works, the one I particularly recommend for men in their 60s as an easy song to sing is Umi wa Koishiteru (The Sea Is in Love).

Although the tempo is slow and it features many long tones, there are virtually no parts where you have to belt, and the vocal range is narrow, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.

festivalKitajima Saburō

This is a single released by Saburo Kitajima in 1984.

It vividly portrays a prosperous harvest festival praying for an abundant crop and a bountiful fishing festival passed down to the next generation, capturing the hearts of festival-loving Japanese people.

He performed it six times on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and it has become one of Kitajima’s signature songs, enjoying great popularity in karaoke.

The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP

It was released in 2003 as SMAP’s 35th single.

Originally included on the album “SMAP 015/Drink! Smap!” released in July 2002, the song was written and composed by Noriyuki Makihara.

After being selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi” starring SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, it was released as a single.

It has sold over 3 million copies and is considered one of SMAP’s signature songs.

[Men in their 60s] Even if you’re not good at singing, it’s okay! Karaoke songs that are easy to sing (61–70)

As long as the sun is in the skynishikino akira

It was released in 1971 as Akira Nishikino’s third single.

It peaked at No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart and became his biggest hit.

Thanks to the song’s success, he appeared for the second consecutive year at the 22nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It is one of Akira Nishikino’s signature songs and remains very popular for karaoke.

Yokohama TwilightItsuki Hiroshi

This was mood kayō/enka singer Hiroshi Itsuki’s debut single, released in March 1971.

With this song, Mr.

Itsuki won numerous awards, including the Vocalist Award at the 13th Japan Record Awards and the Broadcast Music Award at the 2nd Japan Kayō Awards, and he also made his first appearance at the 22nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.

It’s truly a classic of the Shōwa era and one of the quintessential local songs of Yokohama.

Melodically, it’s very easy to sing and to hum casually, so I think the key to delivering this song well comes down to how you handle the spacing between the words in the lyrics.

Ride the pleasant rhythm and try singing while cherishing each and every word of the lyrics.

RunawayRATS&STAR

When it comes to the group that laid the foundation for soul music and R&B in Japan, it has to be Rats & Star, doesn’t it? As their black-coated look suggests, they had deep respect for Black music.

Their song “Runaway” is one of their signature works, blending Black music with elements of kayōkyoku and J-pop into a very singable style.

The vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D# to mid2 G, so as long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to score quite high in karaoke scoring.
