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

Mysterious Peach PieTakeuchi Mariya

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.

Rock ‘n’ Roll in a Dumped MoodTOM CAT

TOM★CAT is a band that gained popularity for its highly original sound, blending elements of rock into the unique genre of techno kayō.

They have many classic songs, but among them, the one that stands out as especially popular is “Furarekibun de Rock’n’ Roll,” isn’t it? While the song has an energetic and bright feel, its vocal range is relatively narrow, spanning mid2 C# to hi F.

Since the overall range sits high, those with lower voices will need to lower the key as a premise; however, because the range itself is narrow, there’s ample room to transpose it downward.

Mugo... mm... so sexyKudō Shizuka

This was Shizuka Kudo’s fifth single overall, released on August 24, 1988.

The lyrics were written by Miyuki Nakajima, with music composed by Tsugutoshi Goto.

It was used as Kanebo’s promotional image song for the 1988 autumn campaign and became a major hit.

As of 2021, many people in their 50s will likely recognize at least the chorus.

The song has the hallmarks of a typical 1980s idol track, and there are virtually no difficult parts in either the vocal melody or the rhythm.

That means even those who aren’t confident singers can probably pick it at karaoke and enjoy it without worry.

Give it a try!

Riding on the back of a silver dragonNakajima Miyuki

Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For women in their 30s, you might remember it as the theme song for the drama Dr.

Cotto.

Although the song is notable for its passionate vocal delivery, its range is surprisingly narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without issue.

The vocal line itself is simple, but because the song has fairly dramatic dynamics, be careful not to start off with too much volume.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

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.

Lips, speak passionately of youWatanabe Machiko

Machiko Watanabe “Lips, Speak Passionately of You” OFFICIAL Lyric Video
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.

confessionTakeuchi Mariya

Singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi has been active for many years with her catchy musical style and distinctive voice.

With the city pop boom a few years ago, she’s been attracting attention from younger generations recently as well.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for women in their 50s is Confession.

The chorus flows smoothly and has a downbeat feel, so there’s no need to belt.

I think it’s easy to sing even for women whose throats have been worn out by drinking, so be sure to check it out.
