Blue StasieonKawai Sonoko
Sonoko Kawai, known as a popular member of Onyanko Club, continued to produce several hit numbers even after going solo.
If you’re in your early 50s, many of you probably admired her looks, didn’t you? Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Aoi Stasion.
It features a somewhat serious melody and stays within a very narrow vocal range throughout.
Since the original track uses almost no vibrato, anyone with basic singing skills should be able to perform it well.
FriendsREBECCA
For women in their 50s who want to sing a fast-paced rock song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Friends.” Released in 1985 by Rebecca, a rock band active since the 1980s, it’s known as one of their signature tracks.
NOKKO’s supple vocals over a passionate rock sound make a strong impression.
When singing it at karaoke, the key is to project energetically in time with the up-tempo rhythm.
Give this rock number a try to lift the mood in the karaoke room.
the first strong spring windkyandīzu
Candies’ ninth single, released in March 1976.
As of 2020, people in their 50s were probably still in kindergarten or the early years of elementary school during the Candies era, so they might only have a faint sense of “I think I heard this when I was little,” and feel nostalgic, yet regard the song itself as something that belongs to a slightly older generation.
However, musically speaking, it fits squarely within the Showa kayokyoku/Showa pop tradition, making it very easy to sing and approachable.
Even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to pick up as a karaoke choice.
Many ’70s idols were also quite strong as vocalists, so some people might be put off at first listen, thinking, “This sounds hard!” But it’s actually very singable, so do give it a try and master it!
Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko
This was Kyoko Koizumi’s 20th single, released in November 1986.
The song was composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE, and a THE ALFEE version—with substantially revised lyrics and other changes—was later released as well.
It’s likely that Takamizawa wrote it with idol Kyoko (Kyon Kyon) in mind: the song features a simple structure with a striking, memorable A-melody intro and a closing B-melody, and a straightforward melody with a slightly classical touch that makes it very easy to sing.
There aren’t any parts that require advanced vocal technique, so if you like the song, consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.
Cheer up!Takeuchi Mariya
Written and composed by Mariya Takeuchi, this song was provided to Hiroko Yakushimaru and released in February 1984.
What I’m introducing here is the self-cover version by the songwriter herself, Mariya Takeuchi.
Yakushimaru’s version is sung with a cute voice, which may feel a bit questionable as a reference for women in their 50s, but in this self-cover, Takeuchi sings with a slightly more mature tone, making it a great model for karaoke.
The song itself has a simple melody that’s very easy to sing, so please give it a try.
Listening to OliviaAnri
This was Anri’s debut single, released on November 5, 1978.
The songwriter and composer is Ami Ozaki.
It’s a slow ballad with a very beautiful melody.
While I think it takes a fair amount of vocal ability to truly do it justice, it’s also the kind of song that still works even if you simply hum along, lightly tracing the melody and lyrics.
For that reason, I think it’s an excellent choice for women in their 50s who don’t often have many chances to sing and are selecting a song for karaoke.
If possible, I hope you’ll understand the worldview of the lyrics and sing in a way that brings it to life.
Blue airmailArai Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya is a great female singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
She once performed under the name Yumi Arai.
Among the many masterpieces she has created, there are songs that are easy for anyone to sing.
One such song is Aoi Air Mail.
It’s a wistful piece themed around a letter from a lover far away, and it’s a classic with a relaxed tempo throughout.
There aren’t many high parts either, so it should be easy to sing even for those with lower voices.
