Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (161–170)
Marilyn in 1986Honda Minako
This work is a song whose title and lyrics evoke Marilyn Monroe, making a strong impression and standing as an emblematic track of the 1980s idol scene.
It was released in February 1986 and was also included on the album LIPS, which came out the same year.
With lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and music by Kyohei Tsutsumi—an all-star pairing—the song brings out Honda’s charm to the fullest.
Although many of Minako Honda’s songs span a wide and challenging vocal range, this one is arranged within one of the narrowest ranges among her works.
If you struggle with high notes, be sure to give it a try.
Let’s go home, my sweet home.Takeuchi Mariya
No matter what age of women’s love she sings about, Mariya Takeuchi’s songs always make you nod and say, “Exactly, that’s so true,” and you can sing along with deep empathy.
I want to sing them with a clear voice—sweetly and gently.
Even when you’re married and sometimes feel you’ve grown tired of your partner, women still want to keep on being in love.
stationTakeuchi Mariya
Set to a minor key, this song paints a poignant scene of a woman who happens to catch sight of her former lover at a train station.
Originally written for Akina Nakamori, it was later self-covered by Mariya Takeuchi herself.
Rich with the essence of Showa-era kayōkyoku and set in a key that’s easy for anyone to sing, it’s friendly even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
As an aside, the heartrending sax solo by Hideshi Toki in the latter half of “Eki,” performed at Takeuchi’s first concert in 18 years in 2000, is also a must-hear.
crescent moonayaka
A song in which Ayaka’s voice resonates deeply with the heart.
It conveys the sorrow of a long-distance relationship by entrusting it to the crescent moon.
Even when apart, the feeling that hearts remain connected comes through on the gentle melody.
Released in September 2006, it was used as a theme song for an NHK program and in an au commercial.
It’s said that Ayaka’s own experiences are reflected in the lyrics, which may be why the raw emotions resonated with so many.
When you think of someone dear who is far away, listening to this song is sure to warm your heart.
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.
atonementTeresa Ten
Teresa Teng, who sadly passed away in 1995 at the young age of 42.
This song, Tsugunai, composed by Takashi Miki, marked her re-debut.
Brimming with the poignant, nostalgic sensuality of Showa-era pop, it’s a track that still grips the heart even today.
At the time of her re-debut, now in her thirties, the song’s sultriness and the character of her voice matched perfectly.
BLONDENakamori Akina
“BLONDE” is Akina Nakamori’s 18th single, a song that highlights the stylishness of romance in the bubble era.
In particular, the cool vibrato that rings out in the chorus accentuates her elegance.
Many of her songs are inherently difficult to sing due to her superb vocal technique, but this one seems relatively easier to sing among them.
The melody stays within a range that’s manageable even for male singers, so it’s a recommended choice for men who want to try singing one of Akina’s songs.
