Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (51–60)

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.

Sunset SongKondō Masahiko

As a leading idol of the Showa era, Masahiko Kondo left behind many classic songs.

While many men have little interest in male idols, I imagine quite a few men in their late 50s made an exception for this song, “Yuuyake no Uta.” This work exudes a mature, understated cool, featuring a melody with a hint of enka.

The vocal range is fairly average, but because the vocal lines embody the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, it’s very easy to sing.

A café in a student districtGaro

This is a famous song by Garo, released in 1972.

Many people in their 60s may say their roots are in folk music, and Garo is one of the few folk groups to have performed on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The composition was by Koichi Sugiyama, a hitmaker known for Group Sounds-related songs.

He is also known as a composer for video games.

“Kanashikute Yarikirenai” is the second single by The Folk Crusaders.

It was released in 1968.

Because “Imjin River,” which had been slated as the second single, was pulled from release, this song was created to take its place.

It is said that Kazuhiko Kato composed it by connecting the chords of “Imjin River” in reverse.

Farewell, my loverSakai Masaaki

This song is the solo debut single by Masakazu Sakai, who belonged to the Group Sounds band The Spiders, and it was released in 1971.

Although he is now best known for his work as a host and entertainer, he is also an excellent singer with a refreshing voice.

Many artists have covered this song.

Eikichi Yazawa has produced many classic songs over the years.

There are likely many men in their 60s who have been fans since the Carol era.

Among his tracks, one I especially recommend is Chinatown.

The song’s vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 B to mid2 G#.

If you’re just following the pitch, it should be quite manageable.

However, because Yazawa employs a shout-infused singing style, trying to imitate that can make the difficulty skyrocket.

So, rather than sticking too closely to the original, aim to sing it in a comfortable key for you.

Premonition of Loveanzenchitai

The classic hit by Anzen Chitai, “Koi no Yokan.” While the lyrics are heartrending, the melody itself exudes a very seductive allure, and the song is considered indispensable when discussing 1980s pop ballads.

Although the piece features many low notes, the vocal line is fundamentally easy to sing.

In the last part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps up on the word “kakenukeru,” and if you find that part difficult, try pronouncing it as “kuu-kye-nukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.
