If tomorrowwarabe
The unit Warabe, born from the popular variety show “Kin-chan no Dokomade Yaruno!?” There are probably many women in their 50s who watched them on TV back then.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Moshimo Ashita ga.
It has a folk-style feel, and the vocal line throughout is on the darker side.
The range is narrow and there aren’t any complicated melodic leaps, so I think anyone can sing it easily.
How about trying it at karaoke when you’re reminiscing about the old days?
RememberKazama San Shimai
The idol unit Kazama Three Sisters, consisting of Yui Asaka, Yuka Ōnishi, and Yuma Nakamura, originated from Sukeban Deka.
Because their vocal ability was solid, their songs continued to energize the music scene even after the drama ended.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Remember.
Centered around low to low-mid tones and strongly flavored with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) style, it’s a very singable piece for women in their 50s.
MY MARINE MARILYNYamamoto Tatsuhiko
Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, a singer who gained popularity in the city pop scene in the 1980s.
Among the city pop of that era, many of his works leaned heavily toward mainstream pop, and he even released some American pop-style tracks.
Of all his songs, the one I especially recommend is “MY MARINE MARILYN.” It starts off with a city pop vibe, but as it builds toward the chorus, it takes on an American pop feel.
The vocal range is very narrow in every section, so it seems like a safe choice to sing at an after-party karaoke session.
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.

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!
School HeavenFingā 5
“Gakuen Tengoku” is known as one of the iconic songs representing Showa-era kayōkyoku.
It was released in 1974 by Finger 5, an idol group that was active in the 1970s.
The high-pitched mixed male-female vocals and the light, upbeat sound became a hot topic.
The song expresses the desire, during school life, to get just a little closer to the Madonna-like girl.
With its catchy melodic line, it’s recommended even for those who aren’t fans of complex song structures.
You can also get friends you go to karaoke with, or your coworkers, to keep the rhythm by clapping along or joining the chorus.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the WindYasuda Narumi
Narumi Yasuda, known as the wife of Noritake Kinashi, is also widely recognized as an actress.
However, she actually began performing as a singer shortly after her debut.
Her biggest hit song is this one: “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.” Since it’s the theme song of the film, many people likely remember it well.
Because Yasuda is not primarily a singer, the vocal range is quite limited, and there aren’t any lines that require complex melodic rises and falls.
The chord progression is somewhat unusual, but aside from that there aren’t any particularly difficult points, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
