Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (131–140)
Blue StasieonKawai Sonoko
Sonoko Kawai, known as a popular member of Onyanko Club, continued to produce several hit numbers even after going solo.
If you’re in your early 50s, many of you probably admired her looks, didn’t you? Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Aoi Stasion.
It features a somewhat serious melody and stays within a very narrow vocal range throughout.
Since the original track uses almost no vibrato, anyone with basic singing skills should be able to perform it well.
Return to MyselfHamada Mari
Mari Hamada, the female artist who sparked a pop-rock boom in Japan.
Known for her vibrant vocals, she has produced numerous classics with her upbeat rock sound.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Return to Myself.
It’s a powerful track, yet the vocal range isn’t very wide, and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme.
For women in their 50s, whose lower to mid register tends to gain richness, it’s an especially singable song.
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.
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!
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
When it comes to karaoke with coworkers or friends, a great song for women in their 50s to sing is “Time goes by.” Released in 1998 by the musical duo Every Little Thing, it’s also known as one of their signature tracks.
It was used as the theme song for the drama Sweet Marriage, so some people may feel nostalgic hearing it.
The key is to pair its beautiful, piano-driven melody with a calm delivery in the first verse, then gradually build vocal power and momentum from the pre-chorus into the chorus.
Since the song unfolds at a slow tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
It’s been covered by many artists across eras, making it a great choice for karaoke gatherings with a wide range of ages.
