Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (31–40)
Feeling refreshedMoritaka Chisato
Chisato Moritaka’s “Kibun Sōkai,” which seems to have a high key, is a song that’s easy to sing thanks to its clear rhythm and should go over well even with men in their 50s.
There’s also a simple bit of choreography in the chorus where you extend your hands alternately to the left and right, so everyone, please try copying it and have fun getting pumped up together!
Slow motionNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s debut song, still beloved by many fans today.
Her vocal tone is a bit brighter than it is now, but even so, the sophisticated, adult aura she exuded in her early twenties was a major part of her appeal.
Many people of the same generation were surely influenced by that vibe! Today, with an even richer, more seasoned maturity in her voice, she continues to captivate a wide audience of fans.
PIECE OF MY WISHImai Miki
“PIECE OF MY WISH,” renowned as one of Miki Imai’s classic ballads, is a spot-on generational anthem for many women in their 50s.
In live performances, it’s sometimes sung a cappella, which shows how complete the vocal line is.
The range is on the narrower side, from mid1 F# to hi C, and the pitch movement isn’t very extreme.
However, because of Miki Imai’s vocal timbre, the song uses a lot of mixed voice and falsetto, so when actually singing it, you’ll need to adjust the key to suit your own voice.
If you’re not confident in your singing, try setting the highest notes so they sit around the boundary between mixed voice and chest voice.
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.
Because your eyes are smilingImai Miki
This was Miki Imai’s sixth single, released in November 1989.
Since it was used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “Wednesday Grand Roman,” even those who weren’t particularly her fans might find the melody familiar.
It’s a very simple, beautiful, and straightforward tune, and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it should be quite easy for many women to sing.
Try choosing a key that lets you sing gently throughout.
I think it’s a song you can enjoy along with conversations about the drama with people of the same generation.
