[By Age Group] Famous Songs We’d Like Women in Their 50s to Sing (11–20)
falling in loveKobayashi Akiko
This is the debut single by singer-songwriter Akiko Kobayashi, who moved her base to London, UK in 1992 and has been working on music under the artist name “holi,” traveling back and forth between Japan and the UK.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama Friday Wives III: Falling in Love, and, together with the drama that became a social phenomenon, it was a major hit.
The lyrics, whose era-evoking imagery serves as a hook, center on the theme of a forbidden love, yet they possess a certain beauty that feels slightly removed from contemporary reality.
It’s a number that would be mesmerizing when sung by a woman in her 50s—and one that many would love to hear men sing at karaoke.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
Beloved by the nickname “Puri-Puri,” PRINCESS PRINCESS is the rock band that laid the foundation for the girls’ band scene from the 1980s to the 1990s.
Although this song is known as one of their signature tracks, it was actually cut from their third album, “LET’S GET CRAZY,” included as the B-side to their seventh single “Diamonds,” and, surprisingly, had no tie-in.
Its story of being unable to move on after a breakup has resonated with many women, and it’s also supported by men as a song they’d like women to sing at karaoke.
It’s a ballad that will liven up any karaoke session, and one we especially hope women in their 50s—the generation that grew up with it—will sing with heart.
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
This is the second single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, who has delivered numerous hit songs since her debut with her powerful and distinctive voice.
With multiple tie-ins as a theme song and insert song, and having been selected for the “100 Best Japanese Songs,” it’s a piece widely known across generations.
Its lyrics, set to a beautiful melody and carrying a grand theme, may be especially compelling when sung by women in their 50s.
It’s an evergreen masterpiece that never fades with time—one that men will want to hear at karaoke.
Sleepless nights are because of you.MISIA
This is the 10th single by singer MISIA, known as a trailblazer of the female R&B boom in the J-POP scene.
Her soulful songs, woven with a five-octave vocal range, have earned high praise both in Japan and abroad.
The track was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Love Quotient” and as the commercial song for Kirin’s “RAKUDA.” With its transparent tone and airy arrangement, it evokes a nocturnal cityscape just as the title suggests.
If a woman in her 50s were to sing these lyrics brimming with earnest feelings, any man would likely find his heart racing.
It’s an emotional number that sets the mood for karaoke.
Door of LifeTakeuchi Mariya
A song by Mariya Takeuchi released in 2007.
In the context of her overall career, it’s a mid-period work, so it might not be from the generation of women in their 50s, but it is extremely popular among fans.
Its appeal lies in lyrics whose depth becomes clearer with age, paired with a warm melody crafted to match.
The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1E to hiC#, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it a relatively easy song to sing overall.
There’s an English lyric section in the middle, so if you’re unsure about pronunciation, make sure to drill the linking beforehand.
