Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 60s (21–30)
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.
They were youngOzaki Kiyohiko
I once had a student in their sixties who sang nothing but Kiyohiko Ozaki songs! If you don’t sing regularly, it might be hard to get your voice out, but “Futari wa Wakakatta” doesn’t go very high, so I think you can sing it in a relaxed way.
The melody is simple, so it’s also a good one to learn anew.
The beginning sits quite low, so make sure to resonate your voice so it doesn’t get muffled.
Try raising your hands to head level and slowly project your voice toward them.
Your facial muscles will naturally lift, and you should feel the resonance in your head, making it easier to hear your own voice.
When the chorus comes, it’s good to consciously sing out more firmly!
FanfareTamaki Kōji
As the theme song for TBS’s Sunday Theater drama “The Royal Family” for the October 2025 season, it’s becoming a go-to karaoke staple, especially popular among men in their 50s.
The lyrics resonate with generations rich in life experience, and they connect with the drama’s grand story depicting horse racing and family bonds.
With Koji Tamaki’s powerful vocal ability, you can pull off a cool performance by switching between a spoken, narrative style and a strong, belted style.
When hitting high notes, focus on quick vocal attack and keeping an open breath pathway so you don’t overstrain—this helps you produce sound comfortably without stressing your throat.
Proper preparation before singing is essential!
Bus StopTaira Koji
This song might be a bit challenging.
It’s better to approach it with some confidence and the mindset to sing it out fully.
It’s not a song just anyone can sing, so if you really make it your own, it’ll become a very valuable addition to your repertoire.
SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji
Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.
For you, I recommend Sarai.
It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.
The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.
Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.
Be sure to check it out.
ChampionArisu
This is the 14th single by the Japanese folk/new music group Alice, released in December 1978.
It was a massive hit that reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts at the time, and it unfolds a story—set to a pleasant melody—about a boxing champion being defeated by a younger fighter.
Despite its dramatic content, the vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and compared with contemporary songs, the melodic line itself is very simple, easy to remember, and easy to hum.
So even those who aren’t confident singers can likely pick it at karaoke and enjoy it without worry.
The harmonies by Tanimura and Horiuchi aren’t very complex either, so it could be fun for two people to sing in harmony together.
Cactus FlowerZaitsu Kazuo
It’s a simple and lyrical masterpiece by Kazuo Zaitsu.
It became a drama’s theme song and was a big hit.
It’s a good idea to add this song—still loved by many—to your repertoire.
The melody line is smooth, making it very easy to sing and a truly great piece.
The key is to sing it lightly without forcing your voice.
