Karaoke crowd-pleasers recommended for men in their 60s (51–60)
Ruby RingTerao Akira
Mr.
Akira Terao, who has left behind numerous masterpieces as a renowned actor.
For those in their 60s, his image as a singer may be even stronger than his image as an actor.
Many were likely surprised that he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder, but kept releasing hits with an unwavering, cool musical style.
Ruby no Yubiwa is his biggest hit.
While the lowest note drops to a very low low G, there are solid moments of lift within its cool, understated mood—such as a key change toward the end.
Despite the modulation, the piece has a narrow vocal range, so you might even try raising the key on purpose and experimenting with a more powerful delivery different from the original.
Farewell, my loverSakai Masaaki
This was the solo debut single released in 1971 by Masakazu Sakai, who was active in the popular Group Sounds band The Spiders.
At the time, Rumiko Koyanagi’s big hit “Watashi no Jokamachi” was dominating the charts, so this single ended up being overshadowed.
Still, it’s a timeless, deeply moving masterpiece that would make a memorable choice to sing at karaoke.
Also, choosing a song that everyone commonly knows is a great way to win over the crowd.
To the most important personTonneruzu
The classic Tunnels song “To the Most Important Person.” When it comes to Tunnels’ tracks, this is probably the first one many people think of.
Contrary to its masculine melody, the vocal line is surprisingly straightforward.
Its narrow range is particularly notable, keeping every part in the low to lower-mid register.
This is the easiest range for men in their 50s to sing, so it should be perfectly manageable for karaoke at after-parties or late-night gatherings.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.

interaction; friendly contact; bondingNakamura Masatoshi
Masatoshi Nakamura has been active across a wide range of fields as an actor and singer.
As a singer, his main profession is acting, so it’s not that he possessed exceptionally high technical skill, but his expressive vocals did help him establish a place for a time.
Among Nakamura’s songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for aiming high karaoke scores is Fureai.
Its vocal range is quite narrow, spanning from mid1 A to mid2 D#, the tempo is a moderate BPM 123, and the melodic movement is much gentler compared to contemporary songs, so it should be quite feasible to target a high score.
If the end of the chorus is difficult to project, instead of using mixed voice, another option is to raise the key by one or two steps and sing it in falsetto.
Street Corner of BetrayalKai Band
The rock band Kai Band gained popularity with their catchy lyrics, thematic depth, and wide musical range.
They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Uragiri no Machikado (Street Corner of Betrayal).
Among Kai Band’s tracks, this song has one of the narrowest vocal ranges.
Because of that, it’s very easy to sing even for people in their 60s who may struggle to hit higher notes.
At after-parties and karaoke, your throat can take a beating, so if you want something easier to sing, definitely give this one a try.
Blues of the DawnItsuki Hiroshi
Hiroshi Itsuki’s “Yoake no Blues,” released in 2012.
Among the songs introduced this time, it’s relatively new, but it even reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts and is a highly popular track among enka fans.
It leans toward pop, making it easy to sing.
