Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (41–50)

RunawayRATS&STAR

When it comes to the groups that laid the foundation for soul music and R&B in Japan, Rats & Star surely comes to mind.

As their black-coated appearance suggested, they had deep respect for Black music.

Their song “Runaway” is one of their signature tracks, blending elements of Black music with 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 focus on the groove, you should be able to aim for a high score.

First loveMurashita Kōzō

Kozo Murashita was a singer-songwriter who gained popularity for his highly original musical style that mixed New Music and folk songs.

Many men in their 60s were likely captivated by his melodic sensibility, which conveyed smoothness even within a kayōkyoku-like flow.

His song “Hatsukoi” is his biggest hit number.

Although its range is narrow, from mid1 F to mid2 G#, the chorus requires singing the high notes on the “tsu” consonant, so lowering the key by one step from your optimal key will likely give you the most stable pitch.

Journey of the Heartchūrippu

This song is the third single by Tulip, released on April 20, 1973.

It was reportedly created with the idea that the romance of train travel would resonate with listeners, taking inspiration from Norihiko Hashida & Climax’s “Hanayome” (The Bride).

The lead vocals were handled not by Zaitsuu, but by Tatsuya Himeno.

It’s a recommended track for those with a sweet, gentle voice.

Oh, sake!Yoshi Ikuzo

One of his signature songs.

I think just about everyone has heard it at least once, and as I get older, the lyrics resonate with me more and more.

I don’t think you have to sing it perfectly.

It’s nice if you can change the feel of it with your own voice.

Speaking of Kiyoshiro Imawano, his musical style is striking for evoking nostalgic scenes within a punky vibe.

Among his works, “Ameagari no Yozora ni” especially showcases his musical character.

While the highest notes aren’t very high, the pitch mid2F# appears frequently, so when adjusting the key, it’s best to center your tuning around that note.

The lyrics are a bit risqué, but it’s a song that tends to get the crowd going at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi

Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.

Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.

Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.

The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?

To the most important personTonneruzu

The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.

Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.

Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.

This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
