[By age] Famous songs we’d like women in their 50s to sing (31–40)
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.
I’m proudKahara Tomomi
It’s Tomomi Kahara’s third single, released in March 1996.
If you’re a Japanese woman in your 50s, you’ve probably heard this huge ’90s J-pop hit produced by Tetsuya Komuro at least once! In fact, it reportedly sold a million copies in just six weeks after its release.
The song uses fairly high notes, especially around the chorus melody, so if you’re not comfortable singing high, you might hesitate to pick it at karaoke.
However, the melody itself is very catchy, easy to remember, and singable, so please give it a try.
If you push too hard on the high parts, it can put a lot of strain on your throat, so try to relax your throat as much as possible and use falsetto as needed—don’t force it.
And of course, feel free to change the key!
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.
Give Up on SummerNaoko Ken
This song, which depicts a melancholy love story on a gloomy rainy day sung by Naoko Ken, was originally by Southern All Stars.
Ken released it as a cover in September 1982.
Her wistful vocals beautifully capture seaside scenery and the poignancy of summer’s end.
The tender way she sings, in a husky voice, about the wavering hearts of a couple caught in a sudden downpour and the fragility of love is deeply moving.
After its release, the song reached No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart and won the Gold Prize at the 24th Japan Record Awards in 1982.
It was also performed at the 33rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
With its relaxed tempo, it’s pleasantly immersive, drawing you into Ken’s distinctive world.
It’s a classic that’s perfect for those who want to enjoy a smooth, subdued atmosphere in karaoke.
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!
