Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (91–100)
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.
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.
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!
