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

Sunset SongKondō Masahiko

Masahiko Kondo “Song of the Sunset”
Sunset SongKondō Masahiko

Masahiko Kondo, who left behind many classic hits as an idol representing the Showa era.

I think many men aren’t interested in male idols, but there are probably quite a few men in their early 60s who made an exception for this song, Yuyake no Uta (Sunset Song).

This piece has a distinctly mature, cool vibe, characterized by a melody that leans somewhat toward enka.

The vocal range is about average, but because the vocal line captures the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, I think it’s very easy to sing.

selfish; self-centered; willfulUeda Masaki

Masaki Ueda is one of Japan’s leading soul singers.

While most people probably associate him with Sad Colors (Kanashii Iro Yane), he’s highly acclaimed in the soul scene for his sophisticated musicality.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 60s is Wagamama.

Although it has a strong soul flavor, it’s by no means difficult.

That’s because, despite being a relaxed ballad, it features very few long notes and doesn’t require a wide vocal range, making the vocal line easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

If you’d like to try a moody, atmospheric tune, be sure to check it out.

Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko

Masahiko Kondo — Gingin-Gin ni Sarigenaku (1981, Showa 56)
Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko

Released in September 1981, this is the fourth single by Masahiko Kondo, a major Showa-era idol who rose to fame as part of the “Tanokin Trio” alongside Toshihiko Tahara and Yoshio Nomura.

There’s hardly any need for me to say more—if you’re a Japanese person in your 60s today, you’re sure to know this smash hit of Showa-era pop! No need for complicated commentary to sing this one—just belt it out and enjoy.

If you imitate Kondo’s gestures and hand movements while you sing, you’ll have even more fun!

The Camellia Sasanqua InnŌkawa Eisaku

Camellia Inn by Eisaku Okawa <with lyrics> cover by Shin
The Camellia Sasanqua InnŌkawa Eisaku

This is the 32nd single by Japanese enka singer Eisaku Okawa, released in August 1982.

It has sold over 1.8 million copies in total, becoming Okawa’s biggest hit.

On New Year’s Eve 1983, it won the Long-Seller Award at TBS’s 25th Japan Record Awards, and on the same day Okawa also achieved his long-cherished first appearance on NHK’s 34th Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

In terms of musical style, it’s quintessential enka through and through, which makes it easy for the general public to sing, yet the deeper you explore the song, the more profound it becomes.

I hope everyone enjoys it in their own way.

When you sing the title call in the song, don’t tighten your throat—sing it out resonantly!

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

Stay 19 foreverHamada Shogo

This song portrays emotional currents that are more than just regret over the passing of one’s youthful school days.

It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The acoustic guitar tones and layered choruses emphasize a refreshing atmosphere and warmth.

The lightness of the vocals also seems to evoke a sense of youth, doesn’t it? The gentle tempo, which invites a slow look back on memories, makes it easy to sing—so try performing it while savoring those recollections.

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars – Itoshi no Ellie [Live at Southern All Stars Kickoff Live 2018 “A Slightly Naughty La-La Old Man”, 2018]
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu

This is Southern All Stars’ third single, released in March 1979.

It’s truly a classic of Showa-era New Music and a pop ballad masterpiece.

If you’re in your 60s, there’s probably no one who hasn’t heard it.

When singing this at karaoke, I think the biggest tip for making it sound good is not to try too hard to sing it perfectly.

Put your feelings into it and enjoy.

I also think it’s totally fine to have fun by singing it in a Kuwa-chan (Keisuke Kuwata) impression!

Setting Sail SASURAITerao Akira

Singer Akira Terao, who gained immense popularity with his calm vocals, is not only an accomplished actor but has also left behind many classic songs as an artist.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s as an easy song to sing is Shukkō SASURAI (Setting Sail: Wanderer).

It’s one of Terao’s pieces with a particularly mature, understated vibe, composed primarily in a low vocal range throughout.

There are no sudden jumps in pitch and no parts that require belting, making it an exceptionally easy song for men in their 50s to sing.
