Festival MamboMisora Hibari
This is a single record released by Hibari Misora in 1952.
Set to the then-popular mambo rhythm, the song was created around the theme of the festival-loving spirit of Edo natives.
Among Hibari Misora’s hit songs, it became especially beloved for its bright, light, and lively rhythm, and it remains a popular choice for karaoke.
Farewell, Siberian RailwayŌta Hiromi
Hiromi Ohta, the female singer known for songs like “Cotton Handkerchief.” Because many people have the impression that her voice is high, some may assume her songs are difficult to sing.
That’s why I recommend “Farewell Siberian Railway.” This piece features a very refined, understated melody and is set within a fairly narrow vocal range.
With its strong Showa-era kayōkyoku essence, the vocal line rises and falls gently, making it easier to sing.
My heart is stop-motionKuwae Tomoko
Tomoko Kuwae, who made her name as a singer and radio personality, is known for a musical style centered on New Music and City Pop, and won fans with her expansive, mature vocals.
Among her songs, the one especially recommended for women in their 60s is My Heart Is Stop Motion.
While the piece features many long tones, the rhythm is relatively relaxed and there are no dramatic jumps in pitch, making it a very easy song to sing.
It’s also recommended for those who want to practice vibrato.
