Akina Nakamori Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
TANGO NOIRNakamori Akina11rank/position
Among women in their 50s—especially those in their late 50s—many may have admired Akina Nakamori.
With her sultry low voice and captivating performances, she was so stunning that even women couldn’t help but be enthralled.
Of her songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “TANGO NOIR.” Since it’s composed in a lower range, there’s no strain from belting high notes.
If you’re a woman in your 50s with a low voice, definitely give it a try.
The Ten CommandmentsNakamori Akina12rank/position
The song “Jikkai” (Ten Commandments), which lets you enjoy a hard-boiled worldview, is also recommended.
It’s their ninth single, and over a rock sound it portrays a strong female figure.
With many impactful lines packed in, it’s sure to liven up the atmosphere when you sing it.
When performing, immerse yourself in the song’s world and give it a try.
In particular, the lines that feel like spoken dialogue can leave very different impressions depending on how much emotion you put into them.
Conversely, you could also say it’s a song that makes it easy to sing with feeling.
Close your eyes for a little excursionNakamori Akina13rank/position
A mellow love song, “Close Your Eyes for a Little Excursion,” is also recommended.
It’s a track included on their third album, Fantasy (Fantasia).
The lyrics are notably rich in metaphor, depicting a woman looking back on her past memories.
Try singing it while letting your imagination wander about what kind of feelings are being expressed.
Overall, it has a relaxed vibe with few high notes or intense sections, so I think it’s easy to sing.
SOLITUDENakamori Akina14rank/position
“SOLITUDE” is a song that blends urban sophistication with elegance, and its lyrics depicting a city woman became a hot topic.
It’s easy to see why, given that the lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa and the music was composed by Yukihide Takakawa of Godiego.
Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice, which is truly stunning.
The lyrics evoke the image of a deserted upper floor of a skyscraper, resonating perfectly when you feel like escaping somewhere alone.
The song has many relatively singable parts, making it approachable even for male vocalists.
It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.
I recommend humming it at least once.
Southern WindNakamori Akina15rank/position
Southern Wind is also known for having been composed by Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.
It’s Akina Nakamori’s eighth single.
The title means “south wind” and depicts a passionate romance on the beach.
Its dramatic development draws listeners in almost involuntarily.
Try practicing with a focus on the striking vibrato in the chorus.
If you nail that, the atmosphere will deepen considerably.
