Recommended Japanese pop songs for karaoke for men in their 60s (31–40)
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.
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.
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.
Boat SongYashiro Aki
There aren’t many songs that fit a nighttime bar as well as this one.
It’s a hit number powerfully delivered by Aki Yashiro’s natural vocal prowess.
Men should have this song in their repertoire, too.
Don’t force it—sing it gently while picturing yourself drinking at the bar counter.
loveMatsuyama Chiharu
A master of folk songs, Chiharu Matsuyama weaves a heartrending love story.
This track delicately portrays the emotions of a woman weary of love.
Many will likely empathize with the image of a woman who, despite being tired of waiting, continues to love.
Matsuyama’s warm vocals and the sound of the guitar further enhance the world of the lyrics.
Released in 2003, this work was also included on the albums “Kishōtenketsu II” and “Tabidachi,” and has long been cherished as one of Matsuyama’s signature songs.
It’s a piece I recommend not only to those troubled by love, but also to anyone standing at a crossroads in life.

Yagiri no Watashi (Yagiri Ferry)Hosokawa Takashi
This is the song by Takashi Hosokawa that won the Japan Record Award.
It’s a slow-tempo piece that can be difficult unless you hold the pitch firmly, but once you clear that, it becomes a very satisfying song to sing.
It’s best to build it up gradually and sing the chorus with a bit of a powerful, projected voice.
If I Could Play the PianoNishida Toshiyuki
Toshiyuki Nishida, who has left a strong mark in many works as a renowned actor.
He’s a versatile performer, and for a time he was active as a musical artist as well.
When it comes to songs that represent him, isn’t it, after all, “Moshimo Piano ga Hiketa Nara” (“If Only I Could Play the Piano”)? It’s characterized by a very calm vocal delivery, with a relatively even melodic contour and a narrow range.
It’s ideal for karaoke when you’re getting tired and want to sing something that can be performed softly.
