Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (111–120)
If I’m wrapped in kindnessMatsutōya Yumi
Many of Yumi Matsutoya’s songs are easy to sing, but for karaoke I recommend “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara.” It’s the theme song from the film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Overall, the key is low and the tempo is easy to follow.
If you like Yumi Matsutoya, I also recommend “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
It was Namie Amuro’s ninth single under her solo name, released in February 1997.
At the time of its release, it became a massive hit, selling over two million copies.
As of August 2023, I’d wager that hardly any Japanese women in their 50s haven’t heard this song.
Thanks to its lyrics, it also became a wedding staple, right? Since success in the 1990s often depended on popularity in the karaoke market, the vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember.
So for women in their 50s who haven’t been singing much lately, this is a song I’d love for you to try and enjoy.
In fact, I bet many of you have sung it at a friend’s wedding or similar occasion.
Tears aren’t just for show.Nakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s number captivated listeners with a voice exuding a mature allure that’s hard to believe came from someone just shy of 20 at the time of release! The lyrics and music were written by singer-songwriter Yosui Inoue.
The melody is distinctive—so singable that just listening makes you want to join in, and it feels exhilarating when you do.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
This is Yoko Oginome’s seventh single, Dancing Hero (Eat You Up), released in 1985 and a massive hit.
In 2017, the dance club of Tomioka High School in Osaka performed this song in a competition, and it became a hot topic when their routine came to be known as the “Bubble Dance.” Afterwards, an album titled Dancing Hero Archives was released, featuring 15 different versions of the song, leading to an extraordinary revival hit.
It’s a track you’ll want to sing while dancing with full energy!
Long time no see.Koyanagi Rumiko
Rumiko Koyanagi, who once belonged to the Takarazuka Revue, has used the vocal skills honed there to perform numerous classic songs, including this one.
She also made her acting debut in the NHK morning drama “Niji,” and has been active in various fields.
All of these diverse experiences have become her strengths, and despite being positioned as an idol, she is a true talent who showcases a robust, powerful singing voice in this song as well.
Before winter comeskami fuusen
A classic folk song with a rhythmic melody and beautifully rich harmonies.
Many of you may already know this, but the two members of Kamifuusen are a married couple, which is why their performances blend so seamlessly.
It’s a song that makes you want to sing along when autumn arrives, with an instrumental interlude that really leaves an impression.
CandyGushima Naoko
Recently, thanks in part to the revival boom, there’s been an increase in songs that incorporate the musical sensibilities of the 1980s.
Contemporary songs tend to be densely packed with lyrics, making them harder to sing, whereas older music generally avoids that and includes many songs that are easier to sing.
Naoko Gushima’s “Candy” is one such track.
Although it’s a recent release, it’s crafted with a musical style reminiscent of 1980s female idols, and throughout the song there’s little lyrical crowding, resulting in a structure that’s very easy to sing.
