Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (121–130)
Harusaki KobeniYano Akiko
Akiko Yano is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her distinctive musical style that incorporates a wide range of genres, including jazz, technopop, and synth-pop.
She has many classic songs, but among them, the especially singable piece I recommend for women in their 50s is Harusaki Kobeni.
It’s a technopop track that evokes its era, composed throughout with short phrases.
There’s no strain from long sustained notes, so if you find it difficult to maintain high notes, I encourage you to try this song.
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.
Lips, speak passionately of youWatanabe Machiko
Machiko Watanabe is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her powerful vocals.
She has left many classic songs, and among them, “Kuchibiru yo, Atsuku Kimi o Katare” is particularly easy to sing.
Because of her strong voice, it may sound difficult at first listen, but there aren’t many intricate pitch fluctuations.
However, there is a brief moment in the chorus where a falsetto appears.
Adjust the key so that you can either sing that part in chest voice or hit the falsetto in the most comfortable key for you.
Mr. Summertimesaakasu
Circus’s signature song, “Mr.
Summertime.” Because this work is a Japanese-language cover of a song by a French artist, it has a distinctive groove not typically found in Japanese pop.
That said, it’s not a complex, Black music-style groove; the overall arrangement is tailored for Japanese audiences, so the difficulty level is quite low.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, the vocal lines have enough breathing room that you can prepare well for the gradually rising sections.

Ah, heartlessAn Ruisu
Ann Lewis is a rock singer whose raw vocals earned her strong support not only from women but also from men.
She has many classic songs, but in particular, “Aa Mujō” really showcases her rough, gritty voice.
The vocal range is slightly broad for an Ann Lewis song at about mid1 G to hi C, but compared with typical songs, it’s actually on the narrower side.
However, because the song is characterized by shout-style singing, it has a distinctive difficulty that’s different from a standard hi C.
Even so, the vocal line’s contour is relatively gentle for rock, so overall it’s a song that’s fairly easy to sing.
It’s fantastic for getting the crowd excited, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
This was Takako Matsu’s major-label debut single, released in March 1997.
It was used in NTT’s “Exciting New Life Campaign” TV commercial and, as the debut song of Takako Matsu—who at the time was a top actress active in TV dramas, films, and stage productions—it became a hot topic.
It entered the Top 10 in its third week, reached its peak position of No.
8 in its fifth week, and ultimately sold around 500,000 copies, becoming a major hit.
As of August 2023, many people in their 50s probably still remember at least the chorus melody.
True to the image suggested by its title, it’s a very heartwarming, gentle song, so it’s easy and fun to sing at karaoke.
Please enjoy it—and try to sing it in as bright a voice as you can.
Cinderella HoneymoonIwasaki Hiromi
Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.
While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.
