Karaoke Songs That Will Liven Up the Party for Men in Their 60s (21–30)
My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This song is the Southern All Stars’ third single, released in 1979.
It was a hit in Japan, and became internationally famous when Ray Charles covered it in 1989.
It’s also a major karaoke favorite, so adding it to your repertoire is sure to go over well.
The video features EXILE’s ATSUSHI.
My Giftofukōsu
This song, whose relaxed melody and slightly sentimental lyrics really sink into your heart, is Off Course’s “Boku no Okurimono” (“My Gift to You”).
It was the first song written and composed by Kazumasa Oda, and it was a favorite among professional artists like Kiyoshiro Imawano.
Many people have surely been moved by its expressions that convey a bittersweet mood throughout the seasons.
With its beautiful chorus and melody, it can be called the origin of Kazumasa Oda’s world—a song that brings comfort to the heart.
It’s said to have even appeared in elementary and junior high school music textbooks.
Kiyoshi’s Zundoko SongHikawa Kiyoshi
If you’re looking for a song to get everyone hyped together, “Kiyoshi no Zundoko-bushi” is a great pick.
It’s a track released in 2002 by enka singer Kiyoshi Hikawa.
Although it’s relatively recent, it was a huge hit, so most people have probably heard it.
The song’s biggest draw is the chorus, where everyone can join in with call-and-response and clapping.
I’d love for you to try it together with a group.
It also sounds fun to listen to it alongside other versions of Zundoko-bushi.
Winter LightningArisu
This song by Alice, released in 1977, features lyrics written by Shinji Tanimura and music composed by Takao Horiuchi.
It didn’t attract much attention at the time of its release, but its popularity gradually grew the following year.
It’s one of Alice’s signature songs, notable for the striking “Ah” shout in the middle, and because it’s highly performance-oriented, it’s likely to be a hit at karaoke if two people sing it with good harmonies.
It’s a song you’ll definitely want everyone around you to clap along to in support.
Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK
J-WALK has produced many classic songs.
Their success up until Koichi Nakamura left the band was remarkable, and they had a large male fanbase.
I believe many men in their 50s were fans as well.
Their biggest hit, “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” is highly recommended as an easy song to sing.
The vocal line has little fluctuation, and there aren’t any particularly high parts, so singers of any range can handle it easily as long as the key is adjusted.
However, because the song contains many long tones, you’ll need to control your volume within the stamina limits of your diaphragm.
As long as you keep that in mind, it’s a song where you can aim for a high score.
The Maiden with Flaxen HairZa Virejji Shingāzu
It’s a classic by the “young master”-style Group Sounds band, The Village Singers.
The song had a revival hit in 2002 thanks to Hitomi Shimatani.
It’s one of those songs younger people will still say they know at karaoke.
It’s fun when you can share it with younger folks and everyone gets hyped.
A little trivia: The Village Singers’ version is actually a cover—the original was by Michi Aoyama, titled “Kaze Fuku Oka de” (On the Windy Hill), with a different title, too.
Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo
This song, which is also Shogo Hamada’s debut single, was released in 1976.
It’s a coming-of-age song that sings about his memories from ages 16 to 22 spent in Yokohama, and just the intro alone is enough to fire up Hamada’s fans.
Reissued singles were released in 1989 and 2005.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s really cool if you can nail the part where the chorus jumps up an octave.
It should be a lot of fun if everyone claps along and gets into it together.
