[Karaoke] A roundup of easy-to-sing Miyuki Nakajima songs (1–10)

You can do it!Nakajima Miyuki

Released in 1994, “Fight!” is a great karaoke pick with its easy-to-sing, narrative-style melody.

The song’s powerful lyrics, which encourage those giving their all, are especially appealing.

When you’re feeling down from studying or work, singing this track might help you lift your spirits.

Just note that the intro is long and the timing of the first entrance is a bit tricky—keep that in mind when you sing!

self-sufficient (in love) / someone who’s good at being aloneNakajima Miyuki

“Hitori Jozu” is a ballad released in 1980, distinguished by its gentle melody.

Its bittersweet yet somehow comforting, mysterious tone creates a world that only Miyuki Nakajima could express.

When singing it at karaoke, if you keep in mind the song’s image—somewhere between light and dark—you’ll capture her characteristic vibe.

It’s also a great fit when you’re unsure whether to follow up with a bright song or a somber one in a karaoke set; this track lands right in the middle.

The song “Pierrot” portrays a poignant man who tries to make a move on a woman who has just broken up with her lover, yet she never quite turns to face him.

Released in 1979, it features a memorable, wistful melody reminiscent of Showa-era mood kayō.

Because the song stays in a low register throughout, it’s relatively easy to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes.

However, some women may find it too low; in that case, raise the key to match your vocal range.

Lullaby of the Thistle MaidenNakajima Miyuki

Azami-jō no Lullaby is a song released in 1975 as Miyuki Nakajima’s debut single, characterized by a hauntingly beautiful, melancholic melody.

The lyrics, in which a woman likens herself to a thistle blooming at night and quietly accepts an unrequited love, are deeply moving.

While embracing sadness, the song also carries a positive message about facing forward and moving on.

Its vocal range isn’t very wide and it’s easy to sing, so giving it a try at karaoke should leave you feeling refreshed!

Milk 32, which poignantly captures the feelings of a woman heartbroken in love, is a hidden gem from the 1978 album Say You Love Me.

With relatively gentle melodic ups and downs, it’s perfect for karaoke.

Its acoustic vibe is also appealing, making it a great choice when you want to sing in a slightly ennui mood and relax.

To avoid a monotonous delivery, try adding contrast between the first half and the second half for an even better atmosphere.

A farewell to that farewellNakajima Miyuki

Speaking of Miyuki Nakajima, her music is known for melodies filled with a sense of wistfulness or ones that lift your spirits.

In contrast, “Ano Sayonara ni Sayonara o” stands out with a fresh, flowing melody that sets it apart from those works.

The vocal line is simple, but because the song requires a bit of vocal power, it’s best if you can sustain long tones in the mid-to-high range.

The rhythm is easy to follow, and there are no advanced techniques like scoops, so definitely try practicing it at karaoke.

River of MemoriesNakajima Miyuki

The linguistic sensibility of coming up with a phrase like “Omoide-gawa” (“River of Memories”)—something that seems obvious yet doesn’t readily come to mind—truly reflects Miyuki Nakajima’s unique worldview.

Released as a single in 1978, this song has the flavor of a Showa-era ballad tinged with melancholy, the kind you want to listen to alone at night.

Overall, the vocal range is narrow and the pitch sits low, making it easy for women with lower voices to sing, and likely approachable for men as well.

I recommend singing it with plenty of emotion even as you keep it understated, savoring the depth of the lyrics as you go.
