Songs to Enjoy with Women in Their 90s: A Collection of Karaoke Crowd-Pleasers (21–30)
Rainy Hollander SlopeWatanabe Hamako
A song that beautifully portrays a love story tinged with melancholy against the exotic, atmospheric backdrop of the port town of Nagasaki.
Released in January 1947, it features the moving voice of Hamako Watanabe, who brought a fresh breeze to Japan’s postwar popular music scene.
The vivid depictions unique to a port town—such as foreign residences and blue gas lamps—are striking, making it a perfect piece for the rainy season.
The dramatic lyrics by Kazuo Kikuta and the beautiful melody by Yuji Koseki blend together magnificently.
It’s also recommended for music recreation with seniors, as singing it together—with clear pronunciation and expressive delivery—can spark lively conversations and cherished memories.
Ozasiki Song
It was sung in 1964 by Hiroshi Wada and the Mahina Stars along with Kazuko Matsuo.
While the Tokyo Olympics likely helped, the economy at the time was far from strong, yet the song became a massive hit with total sales of 2.5 million copies, setting a new record for record sales back then.
Thanks to its musical style, it also became wildly popular at drinking parties across the country: people would sing just the first verse, then others around them would join in with humorous parody verses and enjoy themselves.
It’s said that it can be even more enjoyable at senior care facilities’ recreational events if, in addition to singing the original lyrics, participants share parody versions they know.
Kawachi Ondo
Kawachi Ondo, one of the folk songs best known from Bon Odori, is said to have formed through a blend and arrangement of indigenous ondo and folk tunes that were sung in the area corresponding to the southeastern part of present-day Osaka Prefecture.
Because it came to be sung primarily as a Bon dance song, it has deep ties to Buddhism and also carries the character of a requiem.
Although Kawachi Ondo was born in a single locality, the 1961 record Teppō-bushi Kawachi Ondo became a million-seller, spreading its name not only throughout Japan but overseas as well.
For older listeners, just hearing the sound might be enough to set their hands moving involuntarily.
A Love Game Between a Man and a WomanHino Mika / Aoi Shirou
Debuted in 1986 as a Takeda Pharmaceutical commercial song, performed as a duet by Tetsuya Takeda and Yoshimi Ashikawa.
Initially, only the chorus was created for advertising, but due to its overwhelming response, it took the unusual path of being released as a record—the song “Otoko to Onna no Love Game.” It later became widely known as a duet by Mika Hino and Shiro Aoi.
The song enjoys high popularity in karaoke and is considered a classic sung across generations.
It’s especially a crowd-pleaser at karaoke contests in senior facilities, so be sure to sing it together and have fun!
Scorpio womanMikawa Ken’ichi
“Onna no Scorpion,” the 25th single by Kenichi Mikawa, was released in 1972.
It’s distinctive for beginning with the word “iie” (“No”), and it’s one of his most widely recognized songs.
According to one interpretation, the lyrics that start with “No” convey: even if you tell me to break up, my answer is no.
If you think I’m an easy, understanding woman, you’re gravely mistaken.
You may think this is just a fling, but I won’t end it.
You might find it strange, but I’m single‑minded to the point of staking my life on it.
If that’s the intended meaning, it fits remarkably well and feels convincing, doesn’t it? Taking time to savor the lyrics is one way to enjoy a song, so give it a try if you like.
