Recommended for women in their 50s! Carefully selected classic and popular karaoke hits that get the crowd going (41–50)
Slow motionNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori, who shared the spotlight with Seiko Matsuda at the height of the 1980s idol boom while running at the very top, captivated everyone with her allure and power.
Her debut song was slow-tempo and far removed from the bright, peppy tunes typically sung by idols, which actually drew attention.
Her vocal ability, which more than compensated for that sense of incongruity, became a key selling point and left a strong impression.
It was a debut that made her subsequent success feel completely justified, wasn’t it?

ronde (also rendered as rondo or round dance)Matsutōya Yumi
“Messages from Yuming: Songs of Love” was released in April 2018.
Yumi Matsutoya continues to captivate many fans no matter how many years have passed since her debut.
“Rondo,” which is also included on this album, is a song released in 1995.
It was used in the TV drama “Tatakau Oyomesama” (The Fighting Bride).
The intro that begins with a Spanish-style guitar makes you want to dance as soon as you hear it.
With the same phrases repeating, it’s an easy song to sing.
Many people probably choose “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at karaoke, but why not change things up once in a while and try singing this one too?
Lullaby of the Holy MothersIwasaki Hiromi
This song is the 28th single by Hiromi Iwasaki, released in 1982.
Originally the ending theme for Tuesday Suspense Theater, it was initially produced only as a single chorus for the end credits and wasn’t planned for release.
However, due to enthusiastic requests from viewers, a full version was recorded.
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?
Lapis-Lazuli Blue Earth 2020Matsuda Seiko
For women in their 50s, many probably grew up with Seiko Matsuda’s songs.
Some of you may even have worn the iconic “Seiko-chan cut” hairstyle.
Speaking of hits Seiko released as an adult, this is the song that comes to mind.
The video is the 2020 version, but the song was originally released in 1986 and was recorded while Seiko was pregnant.
I hope you’ll think about the future of our planet’s environment as you listen to this song.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is their signature song, which paved the way for women’s rock bands in the ’80s! Everyone was hooked, and many young people formed girls’ bands.
They were the first all-female band to perform at the Nippon Budokan, becoming pioneers of girls’ bands in both name and reality.
Today, people of all ages form bands and have fun, and this song of theirs still gets the crowd going.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
This is Maki Ohguro’s 10th single, released in 1995, and it was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Aji Ichimonme.” Maki Ohguro is known for her powerful vocals, but this song also conveys a somewhat heartwarming atmosphere.
The 1990s were an era when karaoke popularity was highly valued.
This song, too, features an easy-to-remember melody and rhythm, making it simple to hum along to.
The chorus is especially memorable, and it might be fun for everyone present to sing it together.
If you have a chance to go to karaoke, why not give this song a try?
