Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (91–100)
The Wind RisesMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs.
While “Kaze Tachinu” is a somewhat lesser-known track, it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
Its relaxed tempo and a vocal line without intricate pitch fluctuations are appealing; although the melody is relatively high, anyone can sing it easily with the right key adjustment.
If there’s one point to watch out for, it’s the pre-chorus (the B section).
Because it features a high phrase with a relatively wide upward pitch movement, you’ll need to consciously track the pitch carefully.
Deceived by a guy like HiroshiMizue Takada
Mizue Takada is an idol singer who gained popularity in the late 1970s with her calm vocals.
Thanks to her musical style, many of her songs are easy to sing, but the one I especially recommend is “Sonna Hiroshi ni Damasarete.” It features a vibe somewhat close to surf music, yet the vocal line itself has gently contained pitch movement, making it very easy to sing.
There are quite a few long tones, but since they fade out, you should be able to sing them without needing much lung capacity.
Purple TownYagami Junko
This was Junko Yagami’s ninth single in total, released in July 1980.
It was used as the commercial song for Japan Airlines/JALPAK’s “I LOVE NEW YORK Campaign” that same year, and became a major hit, peaking at No.
2 on the Oricon charts and selling a cumulative 600,000 copies.
Incidentally, the title “Purple Town” is said to have been written with the streets of New York at dawn as its motif.
While the song powerfully portrays that lively, bustling dawn scene, the vocal melody is very easy to sing and remember.
So please try singing it as powerfully as she does!
Falling in LoveKobayashi Akiko
This was singer-songwriter Akiko Kobayashi’s debut single, released in August 1985.
It became a massive hit, partly because it was chosen as the theme song for the popular TBS drama “Friday Wives III: Falling in Love,” and it went on to win the Newcomer Award at the 27th Japan Record Awards that same year.
As such a major hit, it’s hard to imagine that any woman in her 50s, as of August 2023 when this was written, hasn’t heard it at least once.
It’s a very gentle, heartfelt ballad with a relatively narrow vocal range, making it a comfortable choice even for those who don’t sing often.
Be sure to cherish each word of the lyrics and take care not to sing it roughly.
Across this wide fieldMoriyama Ryoko
This is a song by Ryoko Moriyama, mother of Naotaro Moriyama, famous for many songs such as “Sugarcane Field.” It was also broadcast on NHK Educational TV’s “Minna no Uta,” capturing the hearts of many.
It’s a deeply soothing track, thanks to Ryoko Moriyama’s gentle and remarkably soft voice.
Her singing is so healing that it feels as if it’s releasing negative ions!
