By age group: Famous songs you’d like women in their 50s to sing (41–50)
foreignerKUBOTA Saki
Saki Kubota’s biggest hit song, “Ihoujin.” Chances are, everyone has sung this piece at least once.
Because the vocal range is fairly wide, many people may feel it’s difficult, but the truth is the vocal line is quite simple.
If the height makes it hard to sing, adjust the key so you can use chest voice—not mixed voice—for the high phrases in the A section and the chorus.
Doing so will also make it much easier to keep your pitch in check.
