Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (161–170)
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.
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.
Farewell, Siberian RailwayŌta Hiromi
Hiromi Ohta, the female singer known for songs like “Cotton Handkerchief.” Because many people have the impression that her voice is high, some may assume her songs are difficult to sing.
That’s why I recommend “Farewell Siberian Railway.” This piece features a very refined, understated melody and is set within a fairly narrow vocal range.
With its strong Showa-era kayōkyoku essence, the vocal line rises and falls gently, making it easier to sing.
SUNAHAMAAnri
For many women in their 50s, when you think of nostalgic female singer-songwriters, Anri likely comes to mind.
She has left us with many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is SUNAHAMA.
Though the vocal line has a ballad-like feel, it’s not overly mellow; it’s a blend of ennui and freshness, so there’s no need to belt it out.
The pitch changes are gentle, and there are plenty of rests, so you can sing it comfortably even at a second or third party gathering.
