Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (11–20)
While listening to a distant train whistleArisu
This song is a single by Alice released in September 1976, written and composed by Shinji Tanimura and Takao Horiuchi.
It’s basically sung by Horiuchi, though Tanimura sometimes performs it as well.
Both versions are captivating.
It’s also a popular karaoke number, so it’s a great choice for those who like to belt out a song.
Many songs about trains and railways evoke a sense of romance, don’t they?
DepartureMatsuyama Chiharu
It’s Chiharu Matsuyama’s debut song, released in 1977, and one of his signature works.
This song is a memorable one for me because I performed it as a duo with a student, singing while playing.
The structure repeats the opening melody several times, and the chorus finally appears toward the end.
The overall vocal range is C#3 to B4, with a big lift at the chorus, so the high notes come at the end.
It might be a bit high, but if you nail the high part, it’s a really cool song.
Be careful not to force the high notes and strain your throat.
Sing so that your head and chest resonate and your whole body carries the sound.
Since you’ll need plenty of breath, try to inhale deeply using diaphragmatic breathing, and make a conscious effort to project your voice accordingly.
Love VacationZa Pīnattsu
A classic that weaves the sweet memories of summer sun and love with a light, jazzy rhythm and the duo’s beautiful harmonies.
Its lyrics poetically depict lovers talking about love by the seaside, while its fresh arrangement brilliantly blends different musical genres.
After its release in April 1963, The Peanuts performed the song at the 14th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It was also used as the campaign song for Toray’s summer wear “Vacance Look,” helping popularize the word “vacance” in Japan.
The swingy four-beat rhythm is easy on the ears, making it a cheerful song to sing.
It’s a perfect pick for those who want to have fun and liven things up with friends.
festivalKitajima Saburō
A song that powerfully sings of the spirit of Japan’s festival culture was released by Saburo Kitajima in November 1984.
It beautifully expresses gratitude to the mountain and sea deities, traditions passed from parent to child, and the passion of men.
The song was performed a total of six times on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen up to 2013, serving as the grand finale five of those times.
In 2014, it was also used in Suzuki’s New Year sales campaign commercial, making it beloved by a wide audience.
With its powerful vocals, moving melody, and the universally relatable fervor of festivals, this is a song that’s perfect for belting out at karaoke.
bridehashida norihiko to kuraimakkusu
This song was released in 1971 as the debut single under the name Norihiko Hashida & Climax.
The vocalist is Mie Fujisawa, a woman, but it’s a song that also suits a male singer.
The melody is easy to remember, so I recommend it.
Since many younger people may not know it, it’s well-suited for karaoke among people of the same generation.
Strawberry Statement Once Againbanban
This song is the fifth single released in 1975 by the folk group Banban.
The lyrics and music were written by Yumi Arai, known as Yuming; it’s said that Banba, who had not had any hits, staked everything on a comeback and asked her—captivated by her talent—to write it.
The song, which depicts the student movements of the time, has a unique atmosphere.

Parting at 22kaze
With a folk-like, simple chord progression and a conversational melody, this is a song you can sing without straining your voice.
Emotion matters more than technique, and even if you’re not confident at singing, a calm tone unique to men in their 60s can convey plenty of charm, making it a safe choice to try at karaoke.
Also, since few people sing folk songs, performing it in a relaxed, listening-focused way will gently touch listeners’ hearts.
When you sing, don’t belt—deliver it as if you’re speaking to match the song’s mood.
Because a spoken style uses more breath, practicing with humming and lip rolls beforehand will make it easier to produce your voice.
