For People in Their 60s: Easy-to-Sing Nostalgic Karaoke Hits — Classic Songs from the Showa Era (1–10)
FriendsRebekka
People in their early 60s could be said to be the generation that lived right through the heart of the second band boom.
Among the bands that led that boom, Rebecca is likely a group many feel a deep attachment to.
Their song Friends is one of Rebecca’s best-known classics.
The vocal range is a typical mid2B to hiC, but because the highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, be sure to adjust the key so you can maintain sufficient volume.
Since it’s a famous song from the very intro, if you want to liven up a karaoke session, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyYamaguchi Momoe
For people in their 60s, the most popular idol is probably Momoe Yamaguchi.
She left behind many classic songs, and “Ii Hi Tabidachi” is especially recommended as a catchy piece that anyone can sing.
While it’s not an upbeat track, the vocal range sits at mid1F to hiC, which is comfortable for female vocals, so most people can sing it in the original key.
The melody doesn’t have extreme pitch changes either, so try singing it together with your karaoke friends.
Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary idol who left behind many timeless hits.
If you’re in your 60s, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard her voice.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend for being both exciting and easy to sing is Yumesaki Annainin (Dream Guide).
It’s a bright, quintessentially Showa-era tune, yet the vocal line is very simple, with no phrases that require complex pitch movements.
If you want to liven things up with a song brimming with classic Showa charm, definitely add this one to your repertoire.
A Tearful RequestChekkāzu
The Checkers were an idol group that enjoyed immense popularity among women.
Because they were aimed at a slightly younger audience, they might not be a perfect fit for women in their 60s; still, many will have heard their songs often.
Among their tracks, Namida no Request is a particularly crowd-pleasing piece.
Although it’s categorized as a ballad, it isn’t subdued; rather, it features an upbeat melody.
The vocal range is somewhat broad at mid1 F# to high D#, but since the midrange is the focus, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
To Marie on Fifth AvenuePedoro & Kapurishasu
Pedro & Capricious is a music group that, despite several changes of lead vocalist, has consistently remained popular.
They’ve produced many famous singers, but perhaps the most memorable era is when Mariko Takahashi served as the vocalist.
“To Mari on Gobangai (Fifth Avenue)” is a wonderfully heartwarming song sung by Mariko Takahashi.
Although the lyrics are bittersweet, the melody is relaxed and bright, making it a perfect piece for looking back on memories and creating a lively, nostalgic mood.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Chijō no Hoshi” has earned support across a wide range of generations.
While the song is memorable for its incredibly powerful, almost growling vocals, the actual pitch movement isn’t that extreme.
The vocal range is compact, from mid1F to hiA#, and at BPM 100 the tempo is also relaxed.
Even so, the song achieves that level of impact not only through Nakajima’s singing style but also thanks to its strong composition.
Adding a shout at the opening lines brings you closer to the intensity of the original, so if you want to really heat up the karaoke room, try incorporating shouts and give it a shot.
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.
