Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (61–70)
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.
A seagull is a seagull.Naoko Ken
These days, Naoko Ken does comedy sketches on variety shows, but she’s also a highly skilled singer.
She delivers the bittersweet feelings of a woman in “A Seagull Is a Seagull” with great appeal.
The song even won the Gold Prize at the Japan Record Awards, and it’s one you won’t forget after a single listen.
PRIDEImai Miki
“PRIDE,” Miki Imai’s biggest hit, is a song known for its gentle vocals.
The lyrics and composition were done by Tomoyasu Hotei, who was involved as a producer at the time.
It was also used as the theme song for the 1996 TV drama “Doc.” Since the same melody is repeated often, it’s probably quite easy to sing, isn’t it?
You guys are kiwis, papayas, and mangoes, aren’t you?Nakahara Meiko
This was Meiko Nakahara’s sixth single overall, released on April 5, 1984.
Produced as a campaign song for Kanebo cosmetics at the time, it became a huge hit and propelled Nakahara into mainstream fame.
It’s a delightful track with a tropical, slightly Latin-flavored rhythm and melody, and lyrics that playfully spotlight the title phrase.
The key to making this song feel great at karaoke is, above all, locking into that bouncy Latin groove.
If it comes out flat, it can ruin the performance, so be sure to ride the rhythm and have fun singing it!
My loverGorin Mayumi
Mayumi Itsuwa is known as a pioneer among Japanese female singer-songwriters.
This signature song of hers is a poignant ballad themed around lost love and parting.
With melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners, it has remained beloved by many.
Released in August 1980, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and marked her first appearance at the 31st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
Written and composed by Itsuwa herself, there’s an anecdote that the demo vocal was so good it was released as is.
It’s recommended for women with strong vocal projection or anyone who can hit high notes, and its short length makes the lyrics easy to memorize.
Though it’s a heartbreak song, it’s one that, curiously, always gets the crowd going when sung.
