Karaoke Songs That Will Liven Up the Party for Men in Their 60s (21–30)
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.
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.
Takao KisugiKisugi Takao
Some of you may have experienced parting ways with someone important in order to pursue your own dreams and goals.
A karaoke song recommended for people in their 60s who’ve had such experiences is Takao Kisugi’s “Yume no Tochuu” (In the Midst of a Dream), released in 1981.
This song is essentially the same—melody and lyrics—as Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun,” which came out shortly after, differing only in title.
Many listeners are likely to be reminded of the film when they hear it.
The song portrays the bittersweet feelings of a man who, despite parting for the sake of his future, still can’t let go.
Recall the days when you kept running toward your dreams, and give it a sing.
Mary AnnTHE ALFEE
A song that sings of youthful passion, the joy of love, and love that has been lost.
Released in September 1983, this track is known as one of THE ALFEE’s signature works.
Alongside its powerful rock sound, the emotional depth of the lyrics is striking.
It has been performed frequently at concerts and on television, and has been loved for many years.
It’s a great choice when you want to liven things up at company parties or karaoke.
Its distinctive rhythm and title call stand out, and the chorus is perfect for singing together.
However, if the high key feels challenging, it’s best to use the key adjustment feature.
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.
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.
A long nightMatsuyama Chiharu
Among Chiharu Matsuyama’s predominantly folk songs, this one is a rare rock-style track.
It’s also famous for breaking Akira Terao’s “Ruby no Yubiwa,” which had been number one for 13 consecutive weeks on the music show The Best Ten back in 1981.
It’s a well-known classic even beyond his fanbase.
At karaoke, it’s a song that really hypes the crowd when you hold the chorus notes for a loooong time—just be careful not to overdo it and have fun ramping up the energy.
