Miyuki Nakajima’s Most Popular Karaoke Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
The Wheat SongNakajima Miyuki11rank/position
Released in 2016 as the 43rd single, it was used as the CM song for GYAO’s broadcast “Celebration: Minami Takahashi’s Graduation ‘The Dream Seen at 148.5 cm’ at Yokohama Stadium.” It’s a very charming track with a sparkling sound.
tomorrowNakajima Miyuki12rank/position
“Ashita” is a song notable for lyrics that intricately depict a woman’s complex emotions.
It expresses the push-and-pull of romance and hidden feelings alongside seemingly contradictory emotions like loneliness and anxiety, showcasing her standout songwriting skills.
Her distinctive expressive power appears not only in the lyrics but also in the calm, gentle melody.
By singing it with firm emotion and strength, you can create the powerful atmosphere that is uniquely hers.
Why not sing this song and experience her remarkable expressive range for yourself?
sad laughterNakajima Miyuki13rank/position
Speaking of Miyuki Nakajima, her realistic lyrics that portray human weakness are striking.
“Kanashimi Warai” is a masterpiece that showcases Nakajima’s keen powers of observation.
It depicts a melancholy figure of a flawed woman—used by a bad man and numbing herself with alcohol and play—set to a decadent melody.
As for the vocal line, there are no particularly high parts, so it’s relatively easy to sing.
However, since the song makes extensive use of vibrato, you’ll likely want at least a basic command of vibrato if you aim to make it sound good.
the state of the worldNakajima Miyuki14rank/position
Miyuki Nakajima’s “Seijo” is a great song to sing gently at karaoke when you want something with a deep message.
It starts with a distinctive intro, and the opening lines are a strong point that can immediately capture the audience’s attention.
Since the same melody is repeated several times, it’s easy to try even if you’re not good at remembering complex song structures or melodies.
Because it carries a philosophical message, it creates a nice atmosphere if you focus on the lyrics and sing with emotion.
light sleepNakajima Miyuki15rank/position
“Shallow Sleep” is one of her hit songs, notable for a vocal performance where power and delicacy intersect.
It portrays the subtle loneliness of a man and a woman living in the city, strongly reflecting the image of Tokyo, the city that never sleeps.
It’s also an easy pick for karaoke, since the pitch and musical changes are relatively modest—making it approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s recommended to understand the lyrics deeply in advance as well.
By singing while visualizing the world the lyrics evoke, you should be able to express her unique musical sensibility!
Lullaby of the Thistle MaidenNakajima Miyuki16rank/position
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 32Nakajima Miyuki17rank/position
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.
Leave only loveNakajima Miyuki18rank/position
Released in 2009 as the 41st single, this song showcases Miyuki Nakajima’s straightforward and powerful vocals that are truly overwhelming.
It’s a song that seems to encourage those in tough situations, and I think singing it will fill you with energy.
Please try singing it with all your might.
It was also used as the theme song for the film “Zero Focus.”
unrequited love for someone already in a relationshipNakajima Miyuki19rank/position
Miyuki Nakajima has produced many beloved songs.
Her raw psychological portrayals and piercing messages remain popular and continue to attract support from younger generations.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Yokorenbo.
Compared to many of her other songs, this piece has a distinctly pop feel, with a development that somewhat resembles a Christmas song.
The vocal range is narrow and there are no parts that require belting, so it’s a well-suited and easy song for women in their 50s to sing.
Fight-RyanseNakajima Miyuki20rank/position
I take my hat off to the clever wordplay of “Tōryanse” turned into “Tōryanse (battle)”! In fact, this song, “Tōryanse,” was originally provided as a single released in 2008 by actress Yoko Kuga under the name YOKO, and later Miyuki Nakajima herself re-recorded it as a self-cover and released it anew.
It’s a song that sits somewhere between kayōkyoku and enka, and Nakajima delivers it with plenty of theatrical flair.
The pitch is relatively low—low enough for men to sing—and the range isn’t extremely wide, so overall it seems quite singable.
That said, simply hitting the notes won’t capture the song’s atmosphere; don’t be shy—sing it with the gusto of fully becoming Nakajima herself.
