Japanese karaoke songs that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (61–70)

Another SaturdayHamada Shogo

Shogo Hamada’s classic “Another Saturday.” Although 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 of mid1 C to mid2 F.

So why is it considered easy? Because the average pitch centers around mid2 A#, the so-called “A,” which sits in the middle area where humans find it easiest to produce sound.

The vocal line also has few dramatic rises and falls, so as long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song with which anyone can aim for a high score.

The road I walked with you

The Road I Walked With You – Shogo Hamada
The road I walked with you

This song looks back on the road the singer has walked so far and talks about how satisfied they are with their life.

It was released as a single ahead of the 2005 album “My First Love,” included as the B-side to “I am a father.” The simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and percussion seems to highlight the gentle message of the lyrics.

The vocal line, with its modest melodic range and conversational delivery, makes it easy to sing, and performing it in a relaxed manner will likely bring out the song’s atmosphere even more.

Sorrow like snow

This song portrays the warmth of people felt amid winter’s cold, evoking a brightness within poignancy.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” and has long been loved as one of Shogo Hamada’s definitive winter classics.

The powerful layering of the band and chorus strongly suggests a hopeful feeling of moving forward.

Its gently ranged melody and relaxed tempo make it easy to sing, so be sure to fully grasp the emotions embedded in the lyrics as you perform.

Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Released after his 1978 re-debut, “Junrenka,” his second single overall and still a staple at live shows, is a timeless classic.

The blues harp’s wistful tone and sentimental lyrics evoke the charm of old-school folk songs.

The overall tempo is relaxed—including the surging melody in the chorus—and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it approachable even for those who don’t feel confident singing.

If possible, try channeling Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s current vibe; it’s sure to hype up the karaoke room.

Gather the Windhappiiendo

[High Quality Audio] Happy End - Gather the Wind
Gather the Windhappiiendo

This is a song from Happy End’s 1971 album Kazemachi Roman.

Among their songs, it may be the most loved and most frequently covered.

Sung by Haruomi Hosono in a captivating low register, the song has a slightly wordy feel to the lyrics, but once you learn it, the range is relatively low and narrow, making it easy to sing.

Goodbye DayKisugi Takao

Takao Kisugi is one of the composers who defined the 1980s.

He wrote numerous classic songs such as “Silhouette Romance” and “Slow Motion,” and for a time he was also active as a singer-songwriter.

Among Kisugi’s many works, the one I especially recommend is “Goodbye Day.” It’s a piece where his signature ‘Kisugi style’ is in full bloom, but on top of that, it has a smooth finish and a very singable vocal line with a narrow range.

There are plenty of long tones, but the melodic contours are very gentle, so a man in his 50s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

California ConnectionMizutani Yutaka

Actor Yutaka Mizutani has long been popular for his understated, nuanced performances.

Younger people may primarily associate him with “Aibou,” but for men in their 50s, his image as an artist might be just as strong.

Speaking of Mizutani’s classic songs, there’s “California Connection.” It’s a refined piece that exudes an adult atmosphere, built around a gently undulating vocal line with little dramatic fluctuation throughout.

The range is narrow and it doesn’t demand complex vocal techniques, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
