Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (101–110)
TAXISuzuki Kiyomi
This was the third single by Kiyomi Suzuki with Rats & Star, released in November 1987.
When I listen to this song, I can really feel the atmosphere of the bubble era at the time of its release coming through the music.
I think women in their 50s would definitely understand this feeling.
Kiyomi Suzuki’s singing is powerful and dynamic, rivaling that of Black singers, so it might be quite difficult for the average person to sing it as-is.
But I believe there’s a sensation that only those who experienced “that era,” when the world was more glamorous than it is now, can truly understand.
If you sing this song at a party where people of the same generation gather, it will surely be a hit!
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.
CynthiaHarada Tomoyo
Tomoyo Harada, an actress and singer known for her gentle, translucent voice, leaves a lasting impression.
Among her songs, this one is especially recommended.
Released in July 1997 as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Dessin,” it’s a ballad centered on love and sincerity.
The tender melody combined with Harada’s soft vocals resonates deeply with listeners.
With its acoustic style and relaxed tempo, it doesn’t have the breathless pace common in many recent songs.
The vocal range sits in the mid-to-high register and isn’t particularly wide.
It’s a very easy song to sing, so give it a try.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
This was Maki Ohguro’s 10th single overall, released in February 1995.
It was used as the theme song for the TV Asahi (ANB) drama “Aji Ichimonme.” While Maki Ohguro herself is a singer with exceptionally strong vocal ability and expressive power, the song itself—reflecting the 1990s emphasis on karaoke as a driver of hits—is very easy to remember and casually hum along to.
So be sure to pick this one at your next karaoke outing and enjoy singing it.
The chorus in particular could be a lot of fun for everyone present to sing together!
