Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (91–100)
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.
BEACONDREAMS COME TRUE
For women in their 40s, isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE arguably the most popular musical duo? They have many classic songs, but the one I recommend as an easy pick even for those who aren’t great at singing is BEACON.
This relatively new track was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the TV drama “The Great Pursuit: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Major Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to the late-1990s to early-2000s style, featuring a wistful yet nostalgic melody.
In particular, the bass line carries a nostalgic effect that you don’t often hear in contemporary Japanese pop.
As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song.
While there are plenty of long sustained notes, the overall pitch movement is gentle.
Lush LifeChara
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 hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
LastlyMayo Okamoto
Mayo Okamoto is a female singer who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
In the early part of her career she specialized in gentle ballads, but recently she has also been presenting songs with a bit more edge.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lastly.
It’s basically a piece with a narrow vocal range, and the pitch movement isn’t all that drastic.
It remains easy to sing, but there are moments where long falsetto notes appear, so you need to watch out for those.
If the key is set too low, you won’t be able to produce a solid falsetto, so it’s best to raise the key by one or two steps from your usual optimal key.
Purple TownYagami Junko
This was Junko Yagami’s ninth single in total, released in July 1980.
It was used as the commercial song for Japan Airlines/JALPAK’s “I LOVE NEW YORK Campaign” that same year, and became a major hit, peaking at No.
2 on the Oricon charts and selling a cumulative 600,000 copies.
Incidentally, the title “Purple Town” is said to have been written with the streets of New York at dawn as its motif.
While the song powerfully portrays that lively, bustling dawn scene, the vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember.
So please try singing it as powerfully as she does!
Across this wide fieldMoriyama Ryoko
This is a song by Ryoko Moriyama, mother of Naotaro Moriyama, famous for many songs such as “Sugarcane Field.” It was also broadcast on NHK Educational TV’s “Minna no Uta,” capturing the hearts of many.
It’s a deeply soothing track, thanks to Ryoko Moriyama’s gentle and remarkably soft voice.
Her singing is so healing that it feels as if it’s releasing negative ions!
