Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (41–50)
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
Although it’s a breakup song, it conveys a forward-looking feeling of moving toward the future.
It’s recommended for women who want to sing about heartbreak but aren’t into heavy, somber songs.
Anyone who’s ever been in love can relate to the lyrics.
Since it’s a band song, singing it makes you feel like you’re the lead vocalist.
RASPBERRY DREAMRebekka
Rebecca’s fifth single overall, released in May 1986.
Since it made the Top 10 on the charts at the time—and with the band boom in full swing—there are probably many women now in their 50s (as of 2022, when this was written) who covered and sang this song in bands.
The song itself has a very singable, easy-to-remember melody, so it might be fun for everyone present to break into a big chorus during the hook! Definitely select this one and enjoy.
threadNakajima Miyuki
It’s Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” (Threads).
It was released in 1998, but even today it’s often used in commercials and as an insert song in TV dramas, so you probably hear it quite a bit.
It’s also been covered by more than 20 artists—including EXILE’s ATSUSHI—and is one of those timeless classics loved across generations.
Thanks to its beautiful lyrics, it’s frequently played at weddings.
It could be a great choice to queue up near the end of a karaoke session for everyone to sing together.
Dance, dance, dance just for tonightNakahara Meiko
Meiko Nakahara’s 1982 debut single, best known as the signature song behind “Kimitachi Kiwi Papaya Mango da ne.” It features a melody that captures the 1980s vibe and lyrics about mature romance that you wouldn’t expect from someone who was just 22 at the time.
It’s also fun to sing along while moving your body and reminiscing about your younger days!
No-sideMatsutōya Yumi
A song with lyrics and composition by Yumi Matsutoya and arrangement by Masataka Matsutoya.
It was first released as a track on Reimy’s album “REIMY,” and Yumi Matsutoya later included a self-cover on her original album “NO SIDE.” Given its release period, as of June 2020 when this article is being written, women in their 50s likely experienced this song in real time.
If you were in a band in your teens or twenties, many of you may have covered and sung this track.
The chorus doesn’t go particularly high, so it’s very easy to sing; still, try to sing the higher parts as gently and softly as possible.
LieYaita Hitomi
Hitomi Yaida’s classic “Uso” (Lie).
It’s a well-known song, so for many people, when they think of a ballad by her, this is the one that comes to mind first.
The track’s appeal lies in its very relaxed tempo.
While Yaida often writes songs with a wide vocal range, this piece has a narrower range and gentle pitch movement.
There are moments of falsetto, but she’s intentionally using falsetto for notes that could easily be sung in chest voice, so even those who aren’t confident in their range can sing it without difficulty.
ambushIshikawa Hitomi
Hitomi Ishikawa was an idol singer who enjoyed immense popularity from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
Her signature song, “Machibuse” (“Ambush”), portrays the pure passion of a woman in love.
Released in April 1981, the song peaked at No.
6 on the Oricon charts.
That same New Year’s Eve, she made her first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, marking a turning point in her career.
With its relaxed rhythm and a range that isn’t particularly wide, it’s easy to sing—even for women in their 50s without strain.
