We hope this article will inspire you to rediscover the joy of singing.

Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (51–60)

Door of LifeTakeuchi Mariya

A song by Mariya Takeuchi released in 2007.

In the context of her overall career, it’s a mid-period work, so it might not be from the generation of women in their 50s, but it is extremely popular among fans.

Its appeal lies in lyrics whose depth becomes clearer with age, paired with a warm melody crafted to match.

The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1E to hiC#, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it a relatively easy song to sing overall.

There’s an English lyric section in the middle, so if you’re unsure about pronunciation, make sure to drill the linking beforehand.

TOMORROW,” Mayo Okamoto’s debut single and a major hit.

It’s a popular song across all generations and has even been featured in school textbooks.

Known as an uplifting cheer song, it starts right from the chorus, guaranteeing excitement from the very beginning!

Lullaby of the Holy MothersIwasaki Hiromi

It was the ending theme for the two-hour drama “Tuesday Suspense Theater,” which aired for many years.

After watching the suspense and the various human dramas woven into it, hearing Hiromi Iwasaki’s truly Madonna-like singing voice brings a sense of comfort, doesn’t it? Please try singing with a gentle, Madonna-like voice, just like Hiromi Iwasaki!

Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with her unique vocals.

Because her voice is high, her songs might seem difficult, but surprisingly she has a relatively narrow vocal range, so there are many tracks that women in their 50s can sing.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lush Life.

Its range is from mid1F to hiB, which falls within a typical range, and there are no rapid-fire phrases.

While the melody does have somewhat large jumps up and down, it still falls into the easier category in terms of difficulty.

The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.

HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.

This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.

However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.

Keep these two points in mind when singing.
