Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (111–120)
WOMANAn Ruisu
Ann Lewis is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the 1980s with an authentic rock sound.
Because of her husky timbre and powerful vocals, many people may have shied away from singing her songs.
That’s why we recommend WOMAN.
While it has a strong rock flavor, the vocal lines are straightforward, with gentle rises and falls in pitch.
Toward the end of the chorus there’s a scale that’s a bit like a vocal ad-lib, but you can gloss over it with dynamics and subtle vibrato—so don’t worry and give it a try.

Rock ‘n’ Roll in a Dumped MoodTOM CAT
TOM★CAT is a band that gained popularity for its highly original sound, blending elements of rock into the unique genre of techno kayō.
They have many classic songs, but among them, the one that stands out as especially popular is “Furarekibun de Rock’n’ Roll,” isn’t it? While the song has an energetic and bright feel, its vocal range is relatively narrow, spanning mid2 C# to hi F.
Since the overall range sits high, those with lower voices will need to lower the key as a premise; however, because the range itself is narrow, there’s ample room to transpose it downward.
Make my heart raceNagayama Miho
For men in their 50s, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Miho Nakayama is an exceptionally catchy idol? Back then, even in her teens, many people were captivated by her vocals and looks, which exuded remarkable allure.
Among Miho Nakayama’s songs, the one I especially recommend for getting the crowd going and being easy to sing is “WAKU WAKU Sasete.” Blending synth-pop with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), it’s composed with a fairly narrow vocal range of mid2 A# to hi C#.
The vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it overall quite an easy song to sing.
However, since the tempo is fairly fast at BPM 136, it’s important to get a solid feel for the tempo in advance.
I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko
Kyoko Koizumi, an idol who was hugely active from the late ’80s through the ’90s.
Her song “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” was released in 1992, and from around this track she began putting out increasingly original, distinctive songs.
This work emphasizes catchiness, featuring a very singable vocal line throughout.
In particular, the range—mid1 G# to hi B—is quite narrow for a female song, so as long as you adjust the key, it should be easy for singers of any voice type to perform.
Playback Part 2Yamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi’s classic “Playback Part 2,” which gained nationwide popularity with its novel setting at a traffic accident scene.
While the song features a somewhat unconventional structure, including bold break points, it boasts exceptional singability thanks to its very narrow range of mid2 A# to Hi A#.
The tricky part is the section that enters the chorus after the late-stage break point, so be sure to count the beats carefully before you come in.
It’s a huge hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi has left us with many classic songs, but when it comes to the track that most embodies the Showa era, many people probably picture Yumesaki Annainin.
Wrapped in a nostalgic Showa-kayo melody, this piece—characteristic of its time—uses a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 E to hi A#.
Because this range is also common in male-vocal songs, even women in their 60s, whose voices may be harder to project with age, should be able to sing it without issue.
The lyrics flow smoothly, the tempo is relaxed, and the pitch movement is gentle, making it an ideal choice for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Return to MyselfHamada Mari
Mari Hamada, the female artist who sparked a pop-rock boom in Japan.
Known for her vibrant vocals, she has produced numerous classics with her upbeat rock sound.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Return to Myself.
It’s a powerful track, yet the vocal range isn’t very wide, and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme.
For women in their 50s, whose lower to mid register tends to gain richness, it’s an especially singable song.
