Easy-to-sing songs recommended for women in their 70s: A collection of classic hits perfect for karaoke

Blizzard of Blossoms of a WomanOka Midori

Blizzard of Blossoms of a Woman

This is a Reiwa-era life-encouragement song by Midori Oka, renowned for her mysterious enka style, showcasing powerful kindness and brightness! “Onna no Hana Fubuki” is the B-side to “Kami no Tsuru,” released in February 2019, and it’s a masterpiece that lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.

It’s perfect for wrapping up a karaoke session, as well as for farewell parties or New Year’s gatherings.

It’s classic, straight-down-the-middle enka, so those accustomed to the genre should be able to sing it smoothly.

Overall, the pitch is high and the range is wide, so if you’re new to enka, try breaking it into parts—A melody, B melody, and chorus—and focus your practice on the sections you find most challenging.
