[By age] Famous songs we’d like women in their 50s to sing (31–40)
City Hunter ~Don’t Let Love Disappear~Kohiruimaki Kahoru
Kahoru Kohiruimaki is a female singer renowned for her low-register vocals.
She was an active and popular singer throughout the 1980s and 1990s, known for her stylish, smooth musicality that matched the era.
“City Hunter ~Ai yo Kienaide~” is one of her hit songs.
It’s arranged as a house-influenced pop track, which was quietly gaining popularity at the time, and it stays within a moderate vocal range.
While it carries a slight flavor of Black music, it doesn’t employ techniques like vocal runs or hiccups, so the overall difficulty is relatively low.
Don’t give upZARD
ZARD’s sixth single overall, released in January 1993.
Not just this song—ZARD’s run of hits and late-’80s to early-’90s J-POP in general are a treasure trove of songs that many people can sing at karaoke without strain! Back then, how often a song was sung at karaoke had a huge impact on CD sales.
So feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun.
I think most women can sing it without changing the key!
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
This is Mika Nakashima’s 10th single overall, released in October 2003.
It was used as the commercial song for Meiji Seika (now Meiji) “boda” and “galbo,” in which Nakashima herself appeared.
It won the Gold Award at the 45th Japan Record Awards, and lyricist Satomi received the Lyrics Award.
It’s a beautifully arranged, very mellow ballad.
When singing this song at karaoke, the important points are to resonate your chest voice firmly in the lower range sections such as the A-melody, and to smoothly switch into falsetto for the high notes in the chorus.
It’s a slightly challenging song to sing, but bring out the allure of a mature woman and sing your heart out to enjoy it!
CHA CHA CHAIshii Akemi
Akemi Ishii’s biggest hit, “CHA CHA CHA.” Although it’s often thought to be an original, this song is actually a Japanese-language cover of a track by the Italian music group Finzi-Contini.
Its hallmark is a musical style that distills a somewhat Latin-tinged sound into Italo disco.
Because it’s based on Western pop, you might feel the rhythm is tricky, but the elements of the cha-cha-cha dance genre aren’t very pronounced; as long as you follow the bass line, you should be able to catch the rhythm in the B section without issue.
The chorus uses a standard Italo disco rhythm, so that shouldn’t pose any problems either.
The vocal range is narrow and there are hardly any long sustained notes, so you can definitely aim for a high score.
Lonely Tropical FishWink
WINK, a duo representing 1980s synth-pop.
Their vocals have a pleasantly laid-back quality, and that relaxed vibe earned them a passionate following among certain listeners.
Their song “Lonely Tropical Fish” is their biggest hit.
Because it features high-note phrases, it’s often misunderstood as being difficult to score well at karaoke.
In reality, there aren’t large melodic leaps within each section.
The high parts and mid-range parts are clearly separated, so if you can use mixed voice or falsetto, you shouldn’t have trouble staying on pitch.

Cinderella HoneymoonIwasaki Hiromi
Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.
While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.
TAXIMami Suzuki
Seimi Suzuki is a female singer who captivated many listeners with her soulful vocals.
Her song “TAXI” is widely regarded as a masterpiece among her works.
While the melody hints at elements of Black music, it doesn’t employ techniques like melisma—the pop equivalent of the Japanese enka ‘kobushi’—so it’s relatively easy to sing.
However, the song does call for vocal richness, including strong overtones, so you should be mindful of that.
If you want to add more thickness to your tone, try singing with your lower jaw slightly pushed forward.
