Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (41–50)

Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi

Yumi Matsutoya – Rouge no Dengon (Yumi Matsutoya Concert Tour The Universe Library 2016-2017)

Rouge no Dengon, a famous song by Yumi Arai released in 1975, is a work that embodies the cheerful vibe of 1970s Japanese pop music, maintaining a bright and gentle tone throughout.

The vocal range is typical of Japanese pop, with a lowest note of mid1 G and a highest note of hi C.

Since the hi C appears twice in the chorus, if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key with this section in mind.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Winter GardenMatsuda Seiko

How about a number by Seiko Matsuda, one of the most iconic idols of the ’80s? For those of you who are the same generation as Seiko Matsuda, I recommend this song from her 1980 album North Wind! Let’s rejuvenate ourselves with this cute Christmas song that’s quintessentially Seiko Matsuda the idol!

This is a song called “Blue Rain” by Miki Imai.

It’s included on her 20th album, “Sky.” The gentle piano performance and Miki Imai’s vocals highlight the beauty of the Japanese language.

When we hear “rain,” we tend to picture a gloomy mood, but this song transforms it into a sense of wistful longing.

It’s a track I’d love to hear sung during the rainy season.

MPRINCESS PRINCESS

M – PRINCESS PRINCESS (Princess Princess) (Full)

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.

Surely more than anyone else in the worldWANDS & Nakayama Miho

A memorable collaboration between WANDS and Miho Nakayama, marked by its sweet and wistful vocals.

This song is a heartwarming ballad that portrays deep love and bonds.

Used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dareka ga Kanojo o Aishiteru” (“Someone Loves Her”), it became a runaway hit upon its 1992 release.

It topped the Oricon charts and achieved the milestone of becoming a million seller.

Seamlessly blending WANDS’ rock sound with Miho Nakayama’s captivating vocals, this track is perfect for women in their 50s as well.

While evoking a sense of nostalgia, it features an easy-to-sing melody line, and remains beloved by many as a fun karaoke favorite to this day.
