Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s

Some women in their 50s may have drifted away from listening to or singing music because they’re so busy with everyday life.

Even when they occasionally go to karaoke with friends, they often struggle to choose songs.

There are probably quite a few people who feel that way.

This time, we’ve put together a selection of songs for women in their 50s—nostalgic and, we hope, easy to sing.

We hope this article will inspire you to rediscover the joy of singing.

Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (11–20)

See you.o nyanko kurabu

Among Onyanko Club’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Ja ne.

Released in March 1986, it’s characterized by an uplifting message that captures both the sadness of parting with members and a sense of hope for the future.

Its brisk melody and Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics evoke a nostalgic feeling of youth in listeners.

As the group’s first single to reach No.

1 on the Oricon charts, it has remained a beloved signature song among many fans.

Its tune is also easy for women in their 50s to sing, so why not try it at karaoke with friends or at a class reunion?

younger boykyandīzu

This hit song by Candies is a delightful piece that portrays a crush on a younger man.

With its lively melody and charming lyrics, it captures a slightly awkward kind of love.

Released in February 1975, it broke into the top 10 on the Oricon charts and cemented Candies’ popularity.

The song was also featured in the film “Little DJ: A Small Love Story,” and it continues to be loved across generations.

Whether you’re experienced in love or just starting out, its relatable lyrics are part of its appeal.

It’s also a perfect pick for karaoke!

TouchIwasaki Yoshimi

Touch – Yoshimi Iwasaki (Full)

It’s the opening theme of the anime Touch, based on Mitsuru Adachi’s original work! It’s a song loved by people of all ages even today—not just women in their 50s—and it’s still frequently sung at karaoke.

Since the story is about aiming for high school baseball, brass bands often perform it during cheering at Koshien and other games.

With memorable phrases like “Hoshikuzu Loneliness,” and a kind of classic kayōkyoku vibe yet a coolness that sets it apart from other songs, it’s no wonder this track draws you in.

Opera Glasses in WinterEri Nitta

Known as a classic of idol pop, this song delicately expresses the loneliness and poignancy of a winter night, as well as the stirrings of love, while depicting the scene of white snow quietly piling up as if blooming on a windowpane.

Eri Nitta’s transparent, pure vocals further enhance the song’s world.

Released on January 1, 1986, it achieved great success, including reaching No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart.

It’s a piece that lets you feel the beauty of moments when you face your own heart on a quiet snowy night, and the warmth that love brings.

Because the original track has a soft, floaty intonation, slight pitch deviations may seem like a faithful recreation of it.

Combined with the straightforward vocal line, these aspects make it a song that’s relatively easy to sing.

The unit Warabe, born from the popular variety show “Kin-chan no Dokomade Yaruno!?” Many women in their 50s probably watched them in their living rooms back then.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Moshimo Ashita ga.” It’s folk-tinged, and the vocal line throughout has a darker tone.

The range is narrow and there aren’t any complex melodic jumps, so I think anyone can sing it easily.

How about trying it at karaoke when you’re reminiscing about childhood?
