Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (131–140)
The Ten CommandmentsAdo
When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.
In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.
Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.
That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Don’t take off my sailor uniformo nyanko kurabu
For women in their 50s—the focus of this piece—this is probably a no-brainer: the Onyanko Club’s debut single.
Onyanko Club could be called the pioneer of the “idols next door,” a concept that connects to today’s AKB as well.
Many of you probably dreamed of becoming a member, didn’t you? You don’t need any special vocal skills to sing this song! It’s an easy, very singable tune that’s like a textbook example of an ’80s idol song, so bring back those memories, add the choreography, and sing it together to get the crowd going!
lover; mistress; extramarital partnerTeresa Ten
Teresa Teng left us with many timeless songs.
For women in their late 50s, many of her hits are likely cherished memories of their youth.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lover.
Many people may have resonated with its lyrics, which poignantly depict a mature romance.
What makes this song particularly easy to sing is its kayōkyoku-style vocal line.
The range is neither too wide nor too narrow, and the rhythm is easy to follow, so for those who find melodies common in enka and kayōkyoku easy to sing, this can be considered a low-difficulty song.
If the mid-to-high notes in the chorus feel challenging, try lowering the key by one semitone.
Carmen ’77pinku redii
A 1977 hit song known for its choreography that dynamically shows off long, slender arms and legs, and its powerful sound.
The concept is that a pure-hearted girl is pretending to be “Carmen,” stretching just a bit beyond her years as she falls into a passionate, fiery love—when you listen now, it feels adorable, doesn’t it? She’s fallen for a slightly older man, and to make him notice her, she’s putting on the act of being a slightly sexy woman.
So please sing it with a playful touch, leaning into those prim and proper little “desu!” and “masu!”-like emphases that only a girl like her would make.
UFOpinku redii
This song, released in 1977 by Pink Lady, the female idol duo that produced numerous hits from the late 1970s through the 1980s, was created by the golden duo of lyricist Yū Aku and composer Shunichi Tokura.
Their innovative choreography shines in this track as well—the “UFO” pose in the intro is something everyone remembers imitating.
The song itself is, of course, excellent, but when it comes to Pink Lady, it’s ultimately the choreography that truly defines them.
To Marie on Fifth AvenuePedoro & Kapurishasu
This song is one of the signature tracks by Pedro & Capricious, released in 1973, with vocals by Mariko Takahashi, the group’s second lead singer.
The lyrics tell a bittersweet love story about a woman he once lived with, beginning with a restrained, conversational tone.
In the latter half, it showcases one of Mariko Takahashi’s strengths: her soaring upper register and powerful delivery that doesn’t rely on belting.
It might be nice to sing it as if you were the protagonist of this story-like song.
SOLITUDENakamori Akina
“SOLITUDE” is a song that blends urban sophistication with elegance, and its lyrics depicting a city woman became a hot topic.
It’s easy to see why, given that the lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa and the music was composed by Yukihide Takakawa of Godiego.
Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice, which is truly stunning.
The lyrics evoke the image of a deserted upper floor of a skyscraper, resonating perfectly when you feel like escaping somewhere alone.
The song has many relatively singable parts, making it approachable even for male vocalists.
It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.
I recommend humming it at least once.
