Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (71–80)
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
A Yuming number with a striking melody that exudes a hot, sultry vibe! It was chosen as the theme song for the suspenseful romance drama “Dare ni mo Ienai” (Can’t Tell Anyone), starring Chikako Kaku, created by the same screenwriter and producer who teamed up again after the hit drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” famous for the character Fuyuhiko.
Listening to and singing this song will bring back lively memories of that blockbuster drama and make for a fun conversation!
Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko
This is Seiko Matsuda’s smash hit, featuring a melody so uplifting it feels like it clears away even the cloudiest skies! Just listening will energize you—and singing it will boost your spirits even more.
It’s great to sing solo, of course, but I especially recommend belting it out with a few women of the same generation.
Since it’s a song many people know, even those who don’t go to karaoke often can sing it together with someone, feel invigorated, and turn back the clock!
Roppongi HeartbreakAn Ruisu
This was Ann Lewis’s 24th single, released on October 5, 1984.
It was a big hit at the time, selling nearly 300,000 copies.
As of 2022, many women in their 50s may have performed this song with a band and sung it on school festival stages.
It’s a very cool, up-tempo rock number, and the vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, so I think it’s very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Be sure to sing it coolly like the artist herself and grab everyone’s attention!
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!
Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi
Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.
The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.
Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.
It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
PIECE OF MY WISHImai Miki
“PIECE OF MY WISH,” renowned as one of Miki Imai’s classic ballads, is a spot-on generational anthem for many women in their 50s.
In live performances, it’s sometimes sung a cappella, which shows how complete the vocal line is.
The range is on the narrower side, from mid1 F# to hi C, and the pitch movement isn’t very extreme.
However, because of Miki Imai’s vocal timbre, the song uses a lot of mixed voice and falsetto, so when actually singing it, you’ll need to adjust the key to suit your own voice.
If you’re not confident in your singing, try setting the highest notes so they sit around the boundary between mixed voice and chest voice.
I want to protect youMatsutōya Yumi
This was Yumi Matsutoya’s 17th single, released on June 21, 1981.
It was written as the theme song for Kadokawa’s 1981 film The Aimed School.
Both the song and the movie were huge hits, so many of you will probably recognize it.
The track itself is a bright, mid-tempo number that’s very easy to sing, with a vocal range that isn’t very wide and a melody that’s easy to hum.
I think even people who don’t usually sing will find it approachable.
When the pitch drops a bit in the B section, try to sing in a way that keeps your tone from getting too dark.
And if you can sing the beginning of the chorus cleanly in falsetto (head voice), that would be ideal!
