Harusaki Kobeni

Akiko Yano is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her distinctive musical style that incorporates a wide range of genres, including jazz, technopop, and synth-pop.

She has many classic songs, but among them, the especially singable piece I recommend for women in their 50s is Harusaki Kobeni.

It’s a technopop track that evokes its era, composed throughout with short phrases.

There’s no strain from long sustained notes, so if you find it difficult to maintain high notes, I encourage you to try this song.

Graduationsaitou yuki52rank/position

Graduation

Yuki Saito’s debut song, while themed around graduation, skillfully conveys both the bittersweet memories of youth and hope for the future.

The protagonist’s complex feelings at the end of student life are gently sung with her clear, pure voice.

Released in February 1985, the track was also used in a commercial and resonated with many listeners.

It’s perfect for karaoke and is recommended when you want to reminisce about old times or need the courage to take a new step forward.

STARAsaka Yui53rank/position

Star (2010 Remaster)

Idol singer Yui Asaka, who gained popularity for her cute looks.

Perhaps because she rose to fame through Sukeban Deka, she tended to have somewhat more mature-feeling songs compared to other idols of her generation.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend for women in their 50s as an easy song to sing is STAR.

Its synthesizers, emblematic of the ’80s, and kayōkyoku-style vocal lines are extremely catchy.

Every part is easy to sing, and the vocal range isn’t wide, so do give it a try.

Surely more than anyone else in the world

A memorable collaboration between WANDS and Miho Nakayama, marked by its sweet and wistful vocals.

This song is a heartwarming ballad that portrays deep love and bonds.

Used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dareka ga Kanojo o Aishiteru” (“Someone Loves Her”), it became a runaway hit upon its 1992 release.

It topped the Oricon charts and achieved the milestone of becoming a million seller.

Seamlessly blending WANDS’ rock sound with Miho Nakayama’s captivating vocals, this track is perfect for women in their 50s as well.

While evoking a sense of nostalgia, it features an easy-to-sing melody line, and remains beloved by many as a fun karaoke favorite to this day.

Confession – Mariya Takeuchi

Singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi has been active for many years with her catchy musical style and distinctive voice.

With the city pop boom a few years ago, she’s been attracting attention from younger generations recently as well.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend as an easy pick for women in their 50s is Confession.

The chorus flows smoothly and has a downbeat feel, so there’s no need to belt.

I think it’s easy to sing even for women whose throats have been worn out by drinking, so be sure to check it out.
