[Women in their 50s] Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even without confidence in pitch (101–110)
No-sideMatsutōya Yumi
Written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya, arranged by Masataka Matsutoya, the song was first released as a track on Reimy’s album “REIMY,” and later included as a self-cover on Yumi Matsutoya’s original album “NO SIDE.” For reference, it was released in December 1984.
At the time of its release, it attracted attention for being a song themed around rugby.
Musically, it’s medium-slow in tempo and the melodic range isn’t very wide, so as long as you set a key that suits your own voice when singing it at karaoke, it’s likely a song that almost anyone can sing without difficulty.
Try to sing it while cherishing each word of the lyrics, and be careful not to let the rhythm rush ahead.
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.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s powerful vocals are perfectly matched with the majestic sound.
This work gently illuminates the presence of people who usually go unnoticed yet live earnestly, likening them to “stars.” Released in July 2000 as the theme song for NHK’s popular documentary series “Project X: Challengers,” it gradually drew attention alongside the program’s broadcast.
At the 2002 Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was performed via a live relay from the Kurobe Dam and achieved the highest singer-specific viewership rating of the show.
Aim for dynamic, powerful singing like Miyuki Nakajima’s.
SWEET MEMORIESMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda is one of Japan’s most iconic idols.
If you’re a woman in your late 50s or older, chances are you had the “Seiko-chan cut” back in your school days.
Her songs are all catchy and easy to sing, but the one I especially recommend is Sweet Memories.
Its relaxed melody has no particularly high notes, so if you sing it in a whisper, you can cleverly mask any pitch issues.
With that in mind, give it a try.
Sand Castlesaitou yuki
Actress Yuki Saito, who captivated many men as a femme fatale, also gained popularity as a singer and produced numerous hit numbers.
Her song “Suna no Shiro” can be considered a relatively minor work among her hits.
Because singing isn’t her main profession, many of her songs have simple vocal lines, yet many people felt they were unexpectedly difficult due to her high voice.
This song is different.
While her voice is indeed high, the range is narrow, so as long as you adjust the key, even women in their 50s who find high notes difficult can sing it without problems.

Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko
Released in July 1980, this was Seiko Matsuda’s second single.
It was the very song that catapulted her to stardom—truly her breakthrough hit.
Although it’s still frequently featured today as a classic Showa-era hit, it’s a surprising fact that it never actually reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
As of 2019, there’s likely no one in their 50s who doesn’t know this song.
Many women at the time probably even styled their hair in the famous “Seiko-chan cut.” Because it’s one of those “Showa hits everyone knows,” most people can sing it just by looking at the lyrics, without needing to learn it from scratch.
Like many idol songs of the era, it has a catchy melody that’s easy for anyone to sing, so even if you’re not confident in your singing, don’t be afraid—enjoy singing it!
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.
