[Women in their 50s] Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even if you're not confident in your pitch (91–100)
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.
atonementTeresa Ten
Teresa Teng, the great female singer who connected Japan and Taiwan.
Her moving expressiveness was overwhelming, and all of her songs—regardless of their content—were deeply touching.
Many people probably want to sing her songs with heartfelt emotion, don’t they? For those people, I recommend “Tsugunai.” Its simple vocal line makes it easy to pitch, so once you get used to it, you’ll be able to sing it with emotion.
Rather than imitating the original, if you thoroughly embrace your own singing style, the result will be even more polished.

Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
If you want a song to get everyone hyped, I recommend Cutie Honey.
It’s known across generations, so it’s a blast to sing at karaoke! Since many people are already familiar with the tune, you can probably breeze through it even if you’re not confident in your pitch.
The chorus does go a bit higher, so try to keep relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.
That said, this is a song where vibe matters more than vocal technique—if you move your body and use hand gestures to the rhythm, the tension naturally eases and it becomes much easier to sing! In fact, for people who aren’t used to karaoke, gestures are surprisingly important.
Standing stiff will almost always make you sing from your throat, so I highly recommend moving your body to the beat.
You’ll have a great time—don’t be shy, give it a try!
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.
Kiss me right nowLINDBERG
This was LINDBERG’s second single overall, released on February 7, 1990.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki!” (aired January–March 1990).
The song has a very simple, straightforward vocal melody, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to hum along with ease.
Speaking of 1990, it was the height of the band boom, and many women now in their 50s may have covered this song with their bands and sung or played it at school festivals.
It’s an up-tempo, exhilarating tune, so don’t worry about whether you’re good or bad at singing—just belt it out and feel energized!
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.
unrequited love for someone already in a relationshipNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima has produced many beloved songs.
Her raw psychological portrayals and piercing messages remain popular and continue to attract support from younger generations.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Yokorenbo.
Compared to many of her other songs, this piece has a distinctly pop feel, with a development that somewhat resembles a Christmas song.
The vocal range is narrow and there are no parts that require belting, so it’s a well-suited and easy song for women in their 50s to sing.
