Many people may feel, “I know tons of songs, but I can’t recall them on the spot,” or “Among the songs from our generation, which ones are broadly easy to listen to?”

In this article, we’ve gathered lots of songs that men in their 60s love and that are great picks to sing at karaoke!

Younger readers can also use this as a reference when enjoying karaoke with older people, such as your boss or family members.

Karaoke Songs That Will Liven Up the Party for Men in Their 60s (21–30)

Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko

People with slightly lower voices might choose this song to sing, don’t you think? It was such a hit that almost everyone could recite at least one chorus by heart.

Kiyohiko Ozaki’s dynamic singing style, fashion, and hairstyle—so uncharacteristic for Japan at the time—became a huge trend.

If you imitate him a bit and sing it at karaoke, it really gets the crowd going.

And the chorus is a big group sing-along.

Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK

[Official] J-WALK “Speechless… Summer”
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.

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.

Singer Daisuke Shima, who debuted as a junior member of Yokohama Ginbae and gained popularity as a TV personality and actor, is well known for his second single Otoko no Kunsho, which served as the theme song for the TV drama Ten Made Agare!

Additionally, since it was covered in 2018 as the theme song for the TV drama From Today, It’s My Turn!!, it’s recognized across a wide range of age groups, making it a great pick for karaoke even with people from different generations.
