[50s] Karaoke Popularity Ranking by Generation [2026] (31–40)
MPRINCESS PRINCESS31rank/position
One of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s signature songs, passionately singing about the pain of heartbreak.
The sense of loss after losing a lover, paired with the strength to keep looking forward, rides on the members’ earnest vocals and strikes straight to the heart.
Included on the 1988 album “LET’S GET CRAZY” and released as a single the following year, the song was also featured in NHK’s morning drama “Dan Dan,” and is beloved across generations.
It’s a track that resonates not only when you want to get fired up at karaoke, but also when you need to soothe the wounds of a broken heart.
It might be nice to sing it together while reminiscing about a love from the past.
atonementTeresa Ten32rank/position
Teresa Teng, the great female singer who connected Japan and Taiwan.
Her moving expressiveness was overwhelming, and all of her songs—regardless of their content—were deeply touching.
Many people probably want to sing her songs with heartfelt emotion, don’t they? For those people, I recommend “Tsugunai.” Its simple vocal line makes it easy to pitch, so once you get used to it, you’ll be able to sing it with emotion.
Rather than imitating the original, if you thoroughly embrace your own singing style, the result will be even more polished.
UFOpinku redii33rank/position
This song, released in 1977 by Pink Lady, the female idol duo that produced numerous hits from the late 1970s through the 1980s, was created by the golden duo of lyricist Yū Aku and composer Shunichi Tokura.
Their innovative choreography shines in this track as well—the “UFO” pose in the intro is something everyone remembers imitating.
The song itself is, of course, excellent, but when it comes to Pink Lady, it’s ultimately the choreography that truly defines them.
Girl ANakamori Akina34rank/position
A signature song by Akina Nakamori that captures the feelings of a defiant young girl.
Released in July 1982, this track became a turning point in Nakamori’s career.
The lyrics, centered on the adolescent struggles and search for self, are conveyed through her voice, which is both powerful and delicate.
As her second single, the song played a crucial role in establishing her “bad-girl” image.
For women in their 50s, it may be a tune that brings back memories of their youth.
When singing it at karaoke, the trick is to relax a bit.
It’s also a great choice for the latter half of a night out with friends.
threadNakajima Miyuki35rank/position
“Ito” is a song sung by every generation.
It was released in 1992, but it’s often used at weddings and in TV dramas, making it a ballad loved across generations.
The vocal range isn’t very wide—F3 to A#4—centered in the midrange, with the low notes being key.
If you sing it in a speaking voice, you’ll end up straining your throat, so aim to sing with a proper singing voice.
The tempo is very slow, so stay calm and take a breath at the end of each phrase.
Instead of “pushing out your voice,” focus on “using your breath” to project forward.
In fact, every consonant in the Japanese ha-row (ha, hi, fu, he, ho) uses breath in its articulation.
If you try singing everything with the “ha” sound for clarity, you might grasp the feeling of “Oh, so this is what it means to use breath!” Give it a try as a reference.
