Recommended for women in their 50s! Carefully selected classic and popular karaoke songs that will liven up the party (51–60)
UFOpinku redii
Released in 1977, this was Pink Lady’s sixth single and their biggest hit.
The song is about a romance with an alien.
With its distinctive costumes and choreography, it drew the attention of women at the time, and many people imitated it.
Perhaps you remember it too?
Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
If you want a song to get everyone hyped, I recommend Cutie Honey.
It’s known across generations, so it’s a blast to sing at karaoke! Since many people are already familiar with the tune, you can probably breeze through it even if you’re not confident in your pitch.
The chorus does go a bit higher, so try to keep relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.
That said, this is a song where vibe matters more than vocal technique—if you move your body and use hand gestures to the rhythm, the tension naturally eases and it becomes much easier to sing! In fact, for people who aren’t used to karaoke, gestures are surprisingly important.
Standing stiff will almost always make you sing from your throat, so I highly recommend moving your body to the beat.
You’ll have a great time—don’t be shy, give it a try!
Hee, hee, hee, hee,EPO
EPO, known for songs like “Saturday Night Is Paradise,” which was used as the ending theme for the TV show “Oretachi Hyokin-zoku.” This 1983 track was featured in a cosmetics brand’s spring 1983 campaign commercial and became a hit.
It’s an upbeat tune that seems perfect for everyone to sing together and get hyped.
I’m falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi
Although it was released as a cover of the folk duo Billy BanBan, it has become so widely known that it can now be called one of her signature songs.
The gently sung Fuyumi Sakamoto version has been well received, used in commercials, and is something everyone has heard.
It’s also popular at karaoke, and many people—especially women in their 50s—sing it over and over, don’t they? The lyrics really hit you in the heart, don’t they?
The Hottest Summer in the WorldPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is one of the signature songs by PRINCESS PRINCESS, known as pioneers of girls’ bands.
It was first released in July 1987, but didn’t attract much attention at the time.
However, when it was re-released in July 1989, it became a massive hit and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Kaori Kishitani’s husky vocals and the refreshing melody are memorable, capturing the spirit of summer adventures and youthful passion.
Many people probably found themselves humming this tune back in their school days.
If you sing it at karaoke, why not revisit those nostalgic memories and recall a sizzling page from a summer long past?
