Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (51–60)
Song of LoveKōda Kumi
Kumi Koda’s classic song “Ai no Uta.” Since it was released in 2007, some people might not know it, but many have likely heard it through TV dramas and the like.
The piece is crafted as an emotionally rich ballad.
While it calls for a bit of expressiveness, its vocal range is narrow—mid1 G# to hi C—and the melodic rises and falls are gentle.
If you track the pitch carefully, it’s a song with which you can definitely aim for a high karaoke score.
Light Blue RainYagami Junko
Junko Yagami’s 1978 hit, with its beautiful high notes in the chorus, grabs listeners by the heart! Many were drawn to her sultry voice, which, despite her being only 20 at the time of release, conveyed a maturity beyond her years.
Try singing it yourself—mimic that exhilarating chorus while adding the unique allure that only someone in their 50s can bring!
Happiness is here.ōtsu yoshiko
This is a song by Yumiko Otsu, who won numerous amateur singing contests and was once even called the “Tokai contest ringer.” Her official website is named after the title of this song, “Koko ni Sachi Ari” (“Here Lies Happiness”).
She’s known for her dynamic alto voice, and it’s still going strong today! But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s easy to sing just because it’s in an alto key.
The song is quite difficult, and it takes a lot of practice to sing it well.
CHA CHA CHAIshii Akemi
Akemi Ishii’s biggest hit, “CHA CHA CHA.” Although it’s often thought to be an original, this song is actually a Japanese-language cover of a track by the Italian music group Finzi-Contini.
Its hallmark is a musical style that distills a somewhat Latin-tinged sound into Italo disco.
Because it’s based on Western pop, you might feel the rhythm is tricky, but the elements of the cha-cha-cha dance genre aren’t very pronounced; as long as you follow the bass line, you should be able to catch the rhythm in the B section without issue.
The chorus uses a standard Italo disco rhythm, so that shouldn’t pose any problems either.
The vocal range is narrow and there are hardly any long sustained notes, so you can definitely aim for a high score.
SWEET MEMORIESMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda, an idol who enjoyed immense popularity as a classic, orthodox idol, is known for her pure, unadorned, beautiful voice.
Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is SWEET MEMORIES.
This mellow piece has a somewhat wide vocal range, but its easy-to-follow rhythm and dynamics make it a song you can perform without much strain.
Some women in their 50s may find it harder to project their voices, but in that case, it’s perfectly fine to lower the key.
Set it to a key that’s comfortable for you and give it a try.
