[By age group] Famous songs I’d like women in their 50s to sing (21–30)

Ah, heartlessAn Ruisu

Ann Lewis is a rock singer whose raw vocals earned her strong support not only from women but also from men.

She has many classic songs, but in particular, “Aa Mujō” really showcases her rough, gritty voice.

The vocal range is slightly broad for an Ann Lewis song at about mid1 G to hi C, but compared with typical songs, it’s actually on the narrower side.

However, because the song is characterized by shout-style singing, it has a distinctive difficulty that’s different from a standard hi C.

Even so, the vocal line’s contour is relatively gentle for rock, so overall it’s a song that’s fairly easy to sing.

It’s fantastic for getting the crowd excited, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

This is the debut single by the female singer-songwriter Anri, who gained a wide-ranging fan base from J-pop listeners to anime fans thanks to the massive success of her 13th single, “CAT’S EYE.” Despite being her major-label debut, the song has been covered by numerous artists and is now cherished as a standard number.

The lyrics, which depict the feelings and scenes after a breakup, might come across as a painful message for men.

Sung by a mature woman, it’s a quintessential Showa-era heartbreak song that naturally makes listeners picture their own personal drama.

LieYaita Hitomi

Hitomi Yaida’s classic “Uso” (Lie).

It’s a well-known song, so for many people, when they think of a ballad by her, this is the one that comes to mind first.

The track’s appeal lies in its very relaxed tempo.

While Yaida often writes songs with a wide vocal range, this piece has a narrower range and gentle pitch movement.

There are moments of falsetto, but she’s intentionally using falsetto for notes that could easily be sung in chest voice, so even those who aren’t confident in their range can sing it without difficulty.

The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.

HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.

This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.

However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.

Keep these two points in mind when singing.

After her success as a member of Amin, Takako Okamura also flourished as a singer-songwriter.

She has an exceptionally clear voice and excels at simple vocals that make the most of her tone.

“Yume wo Akiramenaide” is one of her signature songs.

Its range is narrow and there’s not much vibrato, so simply staying on pitch is enough to aim for a high score.

While the scarcity of long tones makes it a bit harder to rack up bonus points with vibrato or falls, the pitch is undeniably easy to follow—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
