Gypsy QueenNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s “Gypsy Queen,” which portrays the feelings of a woman living alone in the big city, is a captivating song where exotic, evocative lyrics beautifully match Nakamori’s pure, crystalline vocals.
Because the melody spans a relatively narrow range throughout, it’s also easier to sing at karaoke.
Combining both cuteness and allure, Akina Nakamori remains an icon admired by women of all ages.
If you’ve been thinking, “I want to try singing Akina Nakamori’s songs, but they seem too difficult,” why not start with “Gypsy Queen?”

go for it！DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE is a duo supported by every generation, including those in their forties.
Because their music is rooted in Black music, many of their songs are complex, but of course there are simpler ones as well.
One I recommend is go for it!.
While the melody is somewhat irregular, the vocal range is narrow and there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch, making it one of the easier DREAMS COME TRUE songs to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Tears Flowing EndlesslyNatsukawa Rimi
A song that soothes women who work hard every day at their jobs and with housework and childcare.
Its relaxed tempo slowly seeps into your heart.
If you sing it with feeling, phrase by phrase, all kinds of emotions will surely well up—memories of past joys and sorrows.
All the experiences you’ve had lead to who you are now.
It affirms you just as you are and brings a sense of calm.
Love is overŌyō Fifi
Love Is Over, Fifi Ou-yang’s signature song that has been beloved since its 1979 release, portrays an adult breakup through the psychology of a woman who is both romantic and resilient.
In particular, the image of a woman who decisively lets go of love from a nondependent stance must have been innovative even for its time.
The delicate shifts of emotion that emerge from Kaoru Ito’s sensitive songwriting evoke deep empathy in listeners.
Humming this song may bring back memories of youth and give you the courage to live strongly once again.
Baby MineTakeuchi Mariya
“Baby Mine” is the end theme for the Japanese version of Disney’s film Dumbo.
If you want to sing a Disney song but feel a bit shy about the princess songs, this one is perfect! It’s a very gentle ballad with warm lyrics that make it ideal as a song to dedicate to someone special.
I think anyone who hears it will feel it’s a “good song.”
Face the changeEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is a music duo that still enjoys enduring popularity today.
“Face the change” is an early-career work of theirs, characterized by distinctly ’90s synthesizers and a somewhat rock-tinged vocal line.
That said, it doesn’t feature shouty phrases, and the vocal range stays relatively narrow.
The rhythm is simple as well, so if you can maintain steady, full-bodied tone on sustained notes, it will likely come across as skillful.
This is my way of life.PUFFY
This is the second single by PUFFY, a female vocal duo whose relaxed, natural style and high-quality songs have earned them popularity not only in Japan but overseas as well.
Used in a Shiseido Tissera commercial, the track has a playful touch—if you string together the kanji in the title, it reads “私生道” (shiseidō), a pun on the brand name.
Its Beatles-esque sound and melody stick with a wide range of listeners, and it’s likely a nostalgic favorite for women in their 40s, who were the core audience at the time.
The song doesn’t require advanced vocal technique and can be sung together by two people, making it a great choice to liven up karaoke with friends.
