Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (141–150)
TANGO NOIRNakamori Akina
This song is themed around tango and brimming with an exotic atmosphere.
Given Akina Nakamori’s vocal quality and persona, she tends to suit this type of song, doesn’t she? It’s also fun how the city-pop style—accented by the then-trendy electronic drums—gradually takes on a tango feeling.
When singing it at karaoke, try keeping things restrained and mature until the chorus, then unleash your full power there—you might find it fits perfectly.
It’s a song I’d love to see men try as well.
Second LoveNakamori Akina
Her third single, “Second Love,” released in 1982.
This song is appealing for its straightforward style and catchy melody.
Since it came out soon after her debut, her singing is also quite unaffected, and the backing arrangement is very simple.
The tempo is quite slow, so even those who struggle with fast passages can feel at ease.
The low notes at the end of the chorus are a bit challenging, but they’re within a range you can reach with practice, so listen closely to the original and give it a try!
Mi Amore [Meu amor é…]Nakamori Akina

Songs with a Latin vibe are so cool, aren’t they? The one I want to introduce is “Mi Amore [Meu amor é…].” It’s her 11th single and is also known for winning the Japan Record Award.
Its biggest attraction is the melody crafted by Latin musician Naoya Matsuoka.
The key is how well you can ride that melody as you sing.
When you actually try singing it, you might get flustered because there’s some foreign language mixed in, but if you listen closely, you’ll notice the tempo isn’t all that fast.
So in fact, it’s a song that’s easy to groove to and easy to sing.
Close your eyes for a little excursionNakamori Akina
A mellow love song, “Close Your Eyes for a Little Excursion,” is also recommended.
It’s a track included on their third album, Fantasy (Fantasia).
The lyrics are notably rich in metaphor, depicting a woman looking back on her past memories.
Try singing it while letting your imagination wander about what kind of feelings are being expressed.
Overall, it has a relaxed vibe with few high notes or intense sections, so I think it’s easy to sing.
You Are the One Who Rings That BellWada Akiko
“Ano Kane o Narasu no wa Anata” has been established as one of Akiko Wada’s signature songs and has become an important piece in Japanese music history.
Its powerful message and universal themes continue to resonate with many people today.
Recommended for those who are comfortable with lower vocal ranges.
The chorus seems perfect for everyone to sing along and enjoy together!
Hold On MeKohiruimaki Kahoru
Kahoru Kohiruimaki is a female singer who garnered popularity for her strikingly low, cool vocal timbre and soulful singing.
It was an exceptional achievement for a Japanese artist at the time that she was recognized by figures like Maurice White and Prince.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Hold On Me.
While the track carries hints of soul and R&B, the vocal lines themselves contain elements of Showa-era kayōkyoku, making it easier to sing than it might sound at first.
The range isn’t very wide either, so it’s a good choice for women in their 50s with lower voices.
Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko
Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.
In that case, I recommend Fade Out.
This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.
You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.
The very long rests also make it easy to perform.
