Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (81–90)
Sailor Suit and Machine Gun: ‘In the Midst of a Dream’Yakushimaru Hiroko
This is the theme song of the film Sailor Suit and Machine Gun starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.
With this movie and the song of the same title, Yakushimaru shot to stardom.
The film itself has been remade, and the song has been covered by Masami Nagasawa and Kanna Hashimoto, making it a timeless classic.
Yakushimaru’s voice—melancholic yet resolute—perfectly matches the story’s world.
Crossing Amagi PassIshikawa Sayuri
Enka that lets anyone blow off stress just by singing! This song portrays a woman’s passionate feelings, set against Mount Amagi on the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Be gentle where you should relax, and put in your full strength where you need power! Just singing while feeling those shifts takes quite a bit of stamina.
In return, you’ll feel so refreshed you might think you’ve lost weight after just one go! Let’s clear away the frustrations of your 50s with this song!
Detective StoryYakushimaru Hiroko
The classic film “Detective Story,” starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.
This piece was released as the movie’s theme song.
When it comes to Hiroko Yakushimaru’s vocals, her enveloping, gentle voice is distinctive, and this song showcases exactly that.
Overall, the vocal line has little fluctuation, and the range is kept relatively narrow.
It may feel slightly high, but you can handle that with key adjustment, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Life is full of ups and downs.Shimakura Chiyoko
Chiyoko Shimakura’s classic “Jinsei Iroiro” (Life Has Its Ups and Downs).
While women in their 50s aren’t exactly the enka generation, this song is so catchy that many of you probably know it.
Although it’s categorized as enka, it doesn’t feature kobushi, the advanced vocal ornament typical of the genre.
It’s an easy song that can sound authentic just by following the pitch carefully and adding some dynamics.
Why not try singing it the next time you go to karaoke with people your age or older?
Twilight TaleItō Tsukasa
This was Japanese actress and singer Tsukasa Ito’s second single, released on December 1, 1981.
Many of you may remember her because she appeared as a student in the hugely popular drama series at the time, “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B” (Series 2).
As a vocalist, her debut song “Shoujo Ningyo” (“Doll-like Girl”) was probably the bigger hit and more famous, but since this is a karaoke recommendation for women in their 50s, I chose to introduce this song, which has a slightly more mature vibe.
Melodically, it doesn’t seem particularly difficult to sing, so please try performing it in a way that recreates the original’s slightly wistful mood!
camouflageTakeuchi Mariya
Camouflage by singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi.
It was selected as the theme song for the drama Sleeping Forest starring Takuya Kimura.
The overall key is on the lower side, and the same melody is repeated in the chorus, making it a very easy song to sing.

presentJittarin Jin
“Present,” a song by Jitterin’ Jinn released in 1990.
While the track has an upbeat ska-punk vibe, it also carries a touch of quirky, almost progressive rock-like eccentricity.
Its biggest charm is, without a doubt, the poppy and comical melody.
The vocal range is mid2D to hiD, with the highest chest note at hiC#.
Since the range fits within about one octave, despite the poppy feel, it should be comfortably singable for most women.
