Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 60s (31–40)
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.
interaction; friendly contact; bondingNakamura Masatoshi
Masatoshi Nakamura has been active across a wide range of fields as an actor and singer.
As a singer, his main profession is acting, so it’s not that he possessed exceptionally high technical skill, but his expressive vocals did help him establish a place for a time.
Among Nakamura’s songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for aiming high karaoke scores is Fureai.
Its vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 A to mid2 D#, the tempo is a moderate BPM 123, and the melodic movement is much gentler compared to contemporary songs, so it should be quite feasible to target a high score.
If the end of the chorus is difficult to project, instead of using mixed voice, another option is to raise the key by one or two steps and sing it in falsetto.
unconsciously / without realizing itUzaki Ryūdō
For men in their 60s, when it comes to no-nonsense male singer-songwriters, Ryudo Uzaki is likely the first name that comes to mind.
He has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Shira zu Shira zu no Uchi ni.
This piece is set within a relatively narrow range of mid1 B to mid2 C#, and the vocal line maintains a gentle, even contour.
However, because it calls for expressive elements like shouts and breath control, if you want to show appeal beyond just scoring points, I recommend mastering overtones that are effective in the low to low-mid range.
Ruby RingTerao Akira
Akira Terao has been hugely successful not only as an actor but also as a singer.
While he isn’t necessarily known for exceptional vocal power, his smooth vocals born from his low voice are highly appealing and have produced several hit songs.
Among them, the particularly popular piece is Ruby no Yubiwa (Ruby Ring).
Although the song features a very low range down to low G, its highest note is only B3, so most people should be able to sing it.
The melody contains many repetitions and the vocal line doesn’t demand much volume, so as long as you keep your pitch accurate, you can aim for a high score.
However, your score will drop if you miss notes during the key change in the latter half, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, be sure to practice repeatedly.
ChinatownYazawa Eikichi
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.

Dramatic RainInagaki Junichi
Junichi Inagaki is a male singer with a distinctive and memorable vocal tone.
Known for his unique musical style that blends city pop and AOR into Japanese kayōkyoku, he has produced many classic songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for aiming for a high score is Dramatic Rain.
With a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 D# to hi A and a gently undulating vocal line, it should be manageable for men in their 60s who are accustomed to kayōkyoku melodies.
Be sure to check it out.
City LightsSakai Masaaki
Although Masakazu Sakai has a playful side, his vocal ability is quite impressive.
He has many hit songs, but since this one is easy to sing and well-received, it’s a good idea to master it.
If you practice with the intention of singing the lyrics—brimming with kindness—carefully and expressively, it will become a great go-to song for you.
