Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (71–80)
Between the Sky and YouNakajima Miyuki
This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 31st single, released in May 1994.
Helped by being chosen as the theme song for the hit drama “Nobody’s Child” starring Yumi Adachi, it recorded million-selling sales.
Although it’s one of the Heisei era’s classic songs, its tempo makes it very easy to sing, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so I think it’s also very singable for women in their 50s who aren’t comfortable with high notes.
If you clearly contrast the relatively softly sung A and B sections with the powerfully sung chorus, you can deliver a compelling performance.
I want to go back to that day.Matsutōya Yumi
This song, from before her name change and currently credited to Yumi Matsutoya, was the theme for the drama “Family Secrets” starring Kumiko Akiyoshi.
Released when she had only just entered her twenties, it’s a track that reminisces about the radiant days of youth.
Around the time you turn twenty, you often feel caught between being an adult and a child, and your heart can become unstable.
Looking at these lyrics, I can’t help but feel that Yumi Matsutoya must have experienced the same thing.
I want to go back to those joyful days of youth and meet the cheerful version of myself from back then.
Haven’t you ever felt that way, too?
Listening to OliviaAnri
“Listening to Olivia” is Anri’s signature song, released in 1978.
It’s a breakup song that expresses a mature, bittersweet feeling—not just a simple tale of being in and out of love.
By the way, the “Olivia” in the title is said to refer to Olivia Newton-John, the American singer who was breaking big at the time.
The sustained high notes in the chorus are a bit tricky, but overall it’s a song you’ll want to sing gently.
for you…Takahashi Mariko
A song with almost no changes in scale that can score high in karaoke.
The lyrics really convey the feelings when sung by an adult woman who’s had various experiences.
Even if you can’t project a big voice, you can still carry the chorus.
If you want to warm up your throat at the start of a karaoke session, this is the first song I recommend!
Baby MineTakeuchi Mariya
Mariya Takeuchi sang the Japanese version of Baby Mine, the ending theme of the live-action film adaptation of Disney’s classic Dumbo.
Her soothing voice is a perfect fit for the movie.
The English version of the song is performed by Arcade Fire, a Canadian indie rock band.
Since the two versions have quite different vibes, be sure to listen and compare!
