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 (141–150)

Second LoveNakamori Akina

Akina Nakamori – Second Love

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!

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.

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.

As you enter your 40s, you may find that your voice doesn’t come out the way it did when you were younger.

Because of that, you might only be able to sing songs that fit your current range.

Among those people, many probably want to sing music from their own generation.

For anyone like that, I recommend “Dare yori Suki na no ni” performed by Toko Furuuchi.

It’s a love song that was a big hit in the late 1990s.

The song has a relatively narrow vocal range, making it easier to sing even if your voice doesn’t project like it used to.

On top of that, it incorporates elements of Black music, letting you deliver it in a stylish way.

“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!
