Recommended for women in their 50s! Carefully selected classic and popular karaoke songs that will liven up the party (51–60)
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.
Sinbad on the Shorepinku redii
Released in 1977 as Pink Lady’s fourth single, this song is a classic overflowing with summertime vibes.
Back then, it was almost an unspoken rule that you had to learn the choreography for Pink Lady’s songs, so plenty of people could sing and dance at the same time.
If someone starts it at karaoke, it’s guaranteed to turn into a full-blown sing-along dance fest.
Incidentally, it’s said that the following year Southern All Stars titled their debut single “Katte ni Shindobaddo (Katte ni Sindbad)” by combining this song with Kenji Sawada’s work.
Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko
This was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single and the theme song for the Kadokawa film of the same name starring Yakushimaru.
The lyrics were written by Etsuko Kisugi and the music by Takao Kisugi, who also recorded a version with a different title but the same melody, Yume no Tochuu.
It was originally planned for Kisugi to sing it, but it ended up being sung by Yakushimaru.
Both Yakushimaru’s earnest delivery and Kisugi’s delicate rendition are wonderful in their own ways.
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?

The Door to SummerMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda’s fifth single, released in April 1981.
It was also used in a Shiseido commercial, making it truly one of the classic gems of the Showa era.
From her cute vocals and the sparkling synths you hear in the intro to the live string counterlines that pop in like playful interjections, this timeless summer song is packed with elements that capture a fresh, breezy season.
For many, it marks a memorable page of youth.
Relive those moments of friendship and youth at karaoke.
It’s a song that lets you fondly recall the good old days—so please enjoy and remember those wonderful times.
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?
Blue Coral ReefMatsuda Seiko
She epitomized idols of the ’80s—no, it’s not an exaggeration to call her a songstress.
The first time I saw her performing “Aoi Sangoshō,” I was stunned.
That endlessly clear voice, that captivating beauty.
She’s still going strong today, but back then she had an aura that instantly enchanted everyone.
Her singing was exceptional, and this song in particular—paired with her voice—had the power to warp anyone straight to a southern island (lol).
