[Women in their 50s] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even if you're not confident in your pitch (11–20)
My RevolutionWatanabe Misato
My Revolution, released in 1986.
It was a huge hit especially among people in their 50s, wasn’t it? I’m sure there are many who’d say, “This song is my youth!” It’s easy to get into the rhythm and fun to sing, but the range is wider than you might expect—from E3 to F5—and the pitch span shifts suddenly between the verse, pre-chorus, and chorus, so watch out for that! Right before the chorus, make sure your throat doesn’t close; keep it well open.
If you make a surprised face, your facial muscles lift and your throat opens up, too! Try singing the chorus in that state, focusing on resonance rather than just pushing your voice.
Keep the airflow steady so the inside of your mouth vibrates.
Once you lock into the lively rhythm, it becomes much easier to sing—so go all in and enjoy singing it with energy!
Lingering Snowiruka
Although it’s widely recognized as the signature song of the Japanese singer Iruka, it actually originated as a track on the 1974 album “Sankaidate no Uta” by Kaguyahime.
Iruka’s cover, released the following year in 1975, became a huge hit.
It’s a classic that seems to embody all the elements of 1970s folk songs—easy to sing, easy to remember, with a clear structure and rhythm—so it’s fair to say it’s one of the top picks for karaoke even for those who aren’t confident singers.
Many women in their 50s may remember singing this song at middle school choir competitions.
We hope you’ll enjoy singing it, along with those nostalgic memories!
Marilyn in 1986Honda Minako
Minako Honda, a female idol who gained popularity for the striking gap between her exceptionally cute looks and her solid vocal skills.
Many women in their 50s may have admired that contrast, don’t you think? Among her songs, the most famous is undoubtedly “1986 Nen no Marilyn.” Despite its cool, tight melody, the song surprisingly has a narrow vocal range, so even people who aren’t confident singers may find it easy to sing.
If you struggle with the B section, try boldly singing it like a rap without worrying about the pitch.
Harusaki KobeniYano Akiko
Akiko Yano is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her distinctive musical style that incorporates a wide range of genres, including jazz, technopop, and synth-pop.
She has many classic songs, but among them, the especially singable piece I recommend for women in their 50s is Harusaki Kobeni.
It’s a technopop track that evokes its era, composed throughout with short phrases.
There’s no strain from long sustained notes, so if you find it difficult to maintain high notes, I encourage you to try this song.
wicked womanNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s 11th single, released in October 1981.
Speaking of 1981, when this song came out, it was exactly the era when artists labeled as “new music,” like Alice—blending Showa-era kayokyoku, folk, and rock—were on the rise, and this song is very much crafted in that context.
As such, the melody and rhythm are extremely easy to hum along to, and there aren’t any parts that demand extremely high notes, so even people who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
It might be a song that suits the calm presence of a woman in her 50s.
Mi AmoreNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori, the legendary idol who defined an era.
For women in their 50s, she was likely someone to look up to.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Mi Amore.” Despite its Italian title, it’s characterized by a samba-like rhythm.
Another feature is its very narrow vocal range, making it easy to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes.
It’s the perfect song for karaoke after a night out.

Main ThemeYakushimaru Hiroko
Actress Hiroko Yakushimaru is known for her delicate singing voice.
Since she also had great success as a singer, many women in their 50s likely include her songs in their repertoire.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Main Theme.
Crafted with a style reminiscent of the Latin jazz classic Sway, this piece has a relaxed tempo and a very singable vocal line.
With a lot of lower notes, it’s also a good choice for women who find high notes difficult.
