Recommended Japanese karaoke songs for men in their 60s (51–60)
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.
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.
AMERICA
This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.
It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.
The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.
It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.
Indigo-colored Letter
This song, themed around a letter from someone dear, evokes reflection on the past and hope for the future.
It was included on the 2001 album “SAVE OUR SHIP,” and is said to be a rewritten version of the song “Hiruyasumi” (Lunch Break).
Precisely because of its simple arrangement of piano and vocals, the feeling of quietly facing one’s own heart comes through vividly.
The lyrics invite you to imagine the story behind them, which is a defining feature of the song, so how you convey emotion in the lyrics is a crucial point.
With its very slow tempo, it seems like a piece you can sing calmly.

Another Saturday
It’s a bittersweet song that portrays episodes of a possibly unrequited love and the intensifying emotions that come with it.
Released in 1985 as the B-side to the single “LONELY – Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” it gradually became one of Shogo Hamada’s signature ballads despite not being the title track.
The progression, centered on piano with layered strings, accentuates the heartache and poignant atmosphere.
Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing; conveying emotion while delivering it quietly and tenderly is key.
A Painting of May
This song portrays the rediscovery of long-forgotten love for one’s family and the various emotional shifts that accompany it.
It’s included on the album “Journey of a Songwriter,” and serves as a sequel to “Hanabi” from the previous album “My First Love.” The story follows a man who abandoned his family and reunites with his daughter, depicting a complex mix of joy and regret.
The arrangement is simple, layering acoustic sounds with vocals to create a relaxed atmosphere.
Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing, and you should be mindful of how to infuse tender vocals with emotion.
The road I walked with you
This song looks back on the road the singer has walked so far and talks about how satisfied they are with their life.
It was released as a single ahead of the 2005 album “My First Love,” included as the B-side to “I am a father.” The simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and percussion seems to highlight the gentle message of the lyrics.
The vocal line, with its modest melodic range and conversational delivery, makes it easy to sing, and performing it in a relaxed manner will likely bring out the song’s atmosphere even more.
