A roundup of Japanese songs with titles starting with “Ji.” From trending tracks to popular hits (461–470)
A woman aloneFuji Ayako
Aya Koji, a popular enka singer who debuted toward the end of the Showa era and has remained an active, top-tier performer through the Heisei and Reiwa eras, continues to shine today.
She has many beloved karaoke favorites, and the song featured here, “Onna ga Hitori” (A Woman Alone), is a cover of a classic by Saburo Kitajima, released as a single in 2023 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of her debut.
The excellence of the original goes without saying, but as you can hear in Koji’s version, the song is a perfect fit for her—sung with elegant, lustrous tone and great care.
At first listen it sounds like a straightforward, classic enka number, but the pitch movement is quite dramatic, and smoothly transitioning between the low and high notes takes familiarity and practice.
Be mindful of singing expansively and smoothly while feeling the relaxed 3/4, waltz-like rhythm.
Woman’s BluesFuji Keiko
Keiko Fuji’s classic “Onna no Blues.” I considered choosing “Keiko no Yume wa Yoru Hiraku” as well, but this one is easier to sing, so I picked it.
The real charm of this song is its fully Showa-era blues vibe with a cool, gritty melody.
There are some sections that sit a bit low, but for women in their 60s, that lower range might actually be easier to sing.
Even without strong vibrato, you can make up for it with dynamics, so it’s recommended for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
15Nishino Kana
Kana Nishino, a female singer-songwriter who dominated the early 2010s music scene.
While she may not be the exact generation match for women in their early thirties, many of them still listened to her songs.
That’s why I recommend “15.” It marks a clear shift from her previous style, featuring a sound with some hip-hop influences.
The vocal lines are easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Full Moon Night Yu Turing Ryuji AkiyamaYūsuke
Garnering attention as a song commemorating the 15th anniversary, this work is a festive tune that anyone can enjoy, blending Japanese-style arrangements with a modern dance beat.
The lyrics, themed around the Fifteenth Night harvest festival, depict traditional Japanese scenes such as moonlit banquets and the sound of the biwa.
Yusuke’s gentle vocals and Ryuji Akiyama’s humor-filled lines mesh perfectly, warmly embracing listeners.
Released digitally on July 3, 2024, this track marks an important step in showcasing Yusuke’s musical evolution.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to on long autumn nights with someone special.
Rock-paper-scissors, go!!Gō Hiromi
This is Hiromi Go’s 107th single, released in August 2022 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his debut.
It’s an energetic and incredibly fun track.
The catchy, guitar-driven rock melody gives it an irresistible party-tune vibe.
The lyrics repeatedly feature the “rock-paper-scissors” phrase, delivering a positive and empowering message.
It sparked buzz with hashtag challenges on TikTok, too.
The music video is a highlight, showcasing Go playing two roles and even diving into the audience.
It’s a song that lifts your spirits and gives you the courage to move forward.
All the more reason to give it a listen when you’re struggling in life.
one billion yearsSanketsu Shoujo Sayuri
The world that Oxygen-deficient Girl Sayuri creates is truly a grand musical journey that transcends time and space.
Among her works, “One Billion Years” was born from her experiences performing street live shows, and with a sound that feels as if it moves between reality and dreams, it stirs the listener’s heart.
Packed with a parallel-world sensibility, this music is sure to give you strength especially when times are tough.
In every moment and every feeling, Sayuri’s works will be there by your side.
The Thirteenth NightSuzuki Masayuki
There’s even an anecdote that after it was performed on a TV show, word of mouth spread and it became an explosive hit—that song is “Jusan-ya.” It’s an original piece written by singer Masashi Sada.
The title “Jusan-ya” refers to a Japanese moon-viewing tradition, essentially the Japanese counterpart to the “Jugoya” custom that came from China.
In the song, the bittersweet feelings of two people who can hardly meet are sung about.
The key stays relatively steady, so it should be easy to sing even for karaoke beginners.
