Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s

Some women in their 50s may have drifted away from listening to or singing music because they’re so busy with everyday life.

Even when they occasionally go to karaoke with friends, they often struggle to choose songs.

There are probably quite a few people who feel that way.

This time, we’ve put together a selection of songs for women in their 50s—nostalgic and, we hope, easy to sing.

We hope this article will inspire you to rediscover the joy of singing.

Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (71–80)

My lover is Santa ClausMatsutōya Yumi

A classic Yuumin number that’s also known as a Christmas song! It was used as the theme song for the film “Take Me Out to the Snowland” starring Tomoyo Harada.

It’s a bright, upbeat track, perfect for getting hyped and singing along with friends of the same generation! Try singing it while reminiscing about your youthful Christmas love stories!

A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya – Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Yuming number with a striking melody that exudes a hot, sultry vibe! It was chosen as the theme song for the suspenseful romance drama “Dare ni mo Ienai” (Can’t Tell Anyone), starring Chikako Kaku, created by the same screenwriter and producer who teamed up again after the hit drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” famous for the character Fuyuhiko.

Listening to and singing this song will bring back lively memories of that blockbuster drama and make for a fun conversation!

Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko

This is Seiko Matsuda’s smash hit, featuring a melody so uplifting it feels like it clears away even the cloudiest skies! Just listening will energize you—and singing it will boost your spirits even more.

It’s great to sing solo, of course, but I especially recommend belting it out with a few women of the same generation.

Since it’s a song many people know, even those who don’t go to karaoke often can sing it together with someone, feel invigorated, and turn back the clock!

Pink sighTakahashi Mariko

This was Mari Takahashi’s 10th single, released on May 21, 1984.

It became a hit as the commercial song for Mitsutaka’s “Camellia Diamond,” and is a classic that stands as one of her signature tracks.

It’s a very alluring, beautifully slow-tempo piece, so if a woman in her 50s sings it, she may be able to capture its mature charm.

Melodically, there aren’t many particularly difficult parts to sing, but if you perform it too plainly, it can end up sounding dull.

Be sure to understand the meaning of the lyrics and try to recreate the song’s world when you sing it!

Roppongi HeartbreakAn Ruisu

This was Ann Lewis’s 24th single, released on October 5, 1984.

It was a big hit at the time, selling nearly 300,000 copies.

As of 2022, many women in their 50s may have performed this song with a band and sung it on school festival stages.

It’s a very cool, up-tempo rock number, and the vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, so I think it’s very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.

Be sure to sing it coolly like the artist herself and grab everyone’s attention!
