Mysterious Peach PieTakeuchi Mariya
Mariya Takeuchi is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her distinctive voice and catchy musical style.
She has many famous songs, but the one I especially recommend for women in their 50s is Fushigi na Peach Pie.
Among her works, this piece falls into the more monotonous category: it’s a bright song, yet delivered with a restrained, matter-of-fact vocal.
The English lyrics might be a bit challenging, but the vocal line itself is simple, so give it a try.
PRIDEImai Miki
This is Miki Imai’s 12th single, released in November 1996.
At the time, it was also used as a TV drama theme song and became a big hit, so as of 2021, many people in their 50s may find it familiar.
Like many hit songs from the ’90s, it has a very easy-to-remember, simple melody, and its structure is straightforward—A-B-A (with a chorus-like section)—making it very easy to sing at karaoke.
Rather than trying too hard to “sing well,” if you just enjoy singing the melody simply, it will likely sound quite nice.
Just remember to sing gently overall.
Lips, speak passionately of youWatanabe Machiko
Machiko Watanabe is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her powerful vocals.
She has left many classic songs, and among them, “Kuchibiru yo, Atsuku Kimi o Katare” is particularly easy to sing.
Because of her strong voice, it might seem difficult at first listen, but there isn’t much subtle movement up and down in pitch.
However, there is a moment in the chorus where a brief falsetto appears.
In that part, adjust the key so that you can either sing it in chest voice or hit that falsetto in the most comfortable key for you.
Detective StoryYakushimaru Hiroko
The classic film “Detective Story,” starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.
This piece was released as the movie’s theme song.
When it comes to Hiroko Yakushimaru’s vocals, her enveloping, gentle voice is distinctive, and this song showcases exactly that.
Overall, the vocal line has little fluctuation, and the range is kept relatively narrow.
It may feel slightly high, but you can handle that with key adjustment, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
FriendsRebekka
Rebecca, which was a forerunner of the band boom, is surely a group many feel deeply attached to.
Their song Friends is one of their best-known classics.
The vocal range is a typical mid2B to hiC, but since the highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, be sure to adjust the key so you can maintain solid volume.
It’s a famous piece from the intro, so if you want to liven up a karaoke session, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko
Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.
In that case, I recommend Fade Out.
This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.
You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.
The very long rests also make it easy to perform.
Return to MyselfHamada Mari
Mari Hamada, the female artist who sparked a pop-rock boom in Japan.
Known for her vibrant vocals, she has produced numerous classics with her upbeat rock sound.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Return to Myself.
It’s a powerful track, yet the vocal range isn’t very wide, and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme.
For women in their 50s, whose lower to mid register tends to gain richness, it’s an especially singable song.
