[Women in their 50s] Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even if you're not confident in your pitch (91–100)

Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii

The fourth single by Pink Lady, the superstar idol duo of the 1970s, released in June 1977.

As of 2020, women in their 50s are the perfect “right-on-target” generation for Pink Lady! Many of you probably have memories of singing and dancing together in your elementary school classrooms.

While Pink Lady themselves are very capable vocalists, the songs are characterized by the quintessential Showa-era pop “accessibility.” So not just with this track—please sing along with all those nostalgic memories!

Naomi Chiaki, the songstress who epitomized the Showa era.

Unlike typical artists, her singing truly moved people, didn’t it? Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Katsuai.

It’s a classic that needs no introduction.

In the original, it may sound like she’s using falsetto, but in fact it’s a softened middle voice, so even those who can’t produce falsetto should be able to sing it easily without belting.

If it feels low, I recommend raising the key by one or two semitones.

The way homeIwasaki Hiromi

Hiromi Iwasaki is a female singer who has produced numerous hit numbers across a wide musical spectrum, from intense tracks to heartrending ballads.

She has many classic songs, but one I especially recommend is Iemichi (The Way Home).

Among her works, this piece is particularly atmospheric, and it maintains a mature mood throughout.

As a result, it naturally features many lower notes, making it an ideal, easy-to-sing choice for women in their 50s who may find higher notes harder to reach.

Please give it a try.

Deceived by a guy like HiroshiMizue Takada

Mizue Takada is an idol singer who gained popularity in the late 1970s with her calm vocals.

Thanks to her musical style, many of her songs are easy to sing, but the one I especially recommend is “Sonna Hiroshi ni Damasarete.” It features a vibe somewhat close to surf music, yet the vocal line itself has gently contained pitch movement, making it very easy to sing.

There are quite a few long tones, but since they fade out, you should be able to sing them without needing much lung capacity.

Cinderella HoneymoonIwasaki Hiromi

Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.

While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.

Wasshoi!Aikawa Nanase

"Wasshoi!" LIVE @ NANASE'S DAY 2025
Wasshoi!Aikawa Nanase

Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as the Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.

Her song “Wasshoi!” was released in 2025 with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan.

The piece intentionally incorporates a distinctly Japanese-style melody, featuring several enka-like phrases.

As a result, it’s naturally crafted to be easy for Japanese listeners to sing, but since the end of the chorus holds a long note at a slightly higher pitch, be careful not to let your voice crack there.

If you set the key to suit this section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.

Message of RougeArai Yumi

Rouge's Message – Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) (Full)

This was Yumi Arai’s fifth single, released in February 1975.

Considering the release year, it might feel a bit nostalgic even for people in their 50s.

It was used as the opening theme song for Studio Ghibli’s 1989 film Kiki’s Delivery Service, which makes it a very familiar tune—and an excellent choice for karaoke.

The tempo is light and easy to groove to, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it without much hesitation.

Just be careful not to lag behind the rhythm or tempo.

If you can sing it with a good groove, you’re good to go!
