Let’s look back on those nostalgic days you spent together and enjoy a great time with the songs that hold your memories!

[Recommended for Women in Their 30s] Japanese Hit Songs That Get the Crowd Going at Karaoke (61–70)

Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU

GMU 15th single “Koibi to ROMANCE”
Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU

This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.

The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.

I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.

High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.

There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.

I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.

Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.

When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!

Speaking of powerful high-tone vocals, Superfly comes to mind.

Superfly’s songs might be a bit challenging to sing, but when you nail them, the crowd is sure to get fired up.

This track is recommended for those with powerful voices who are confident in their vocal ability.

By all means, use your singing skills to elevate the atmosphere.

It’s guaranteed to heat up the room.

Let’s set off in the shining season.Matsuda Seiko

Released in 1994 as Seiko Matsuda’s 38th single.

It was used in a commercial for Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic, and thanks to the song’s success she returned to the 45th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that year after a six-year absence.

Notably, she performed the rare full, uncut version including the instrumental interlude on the show.

It’s a song that really gets the crowd going when you channel your inner Seiko-chan and sing along.

A Lump of LoveKinKi Kids

As pioneers among Kansai-born Johnny’s groups, the idol duo KinKi Kids has continued to assert a solid presence both as a group and as individuals.

“Ai no Katamari,” included as the B-side to their 13th single “Hey! Minna Genki Kai?,” is a melancholy number that was used as the theme for Morinaga’s “DARS” commercial.

While it features quick melodic passages and falsetto leaps, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, making it relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a lyrical song that really comes alive when you harmonize with friends.

Pure AsiaPUFFY

It was released in 1996 as PUFFY’s debut single.

Chosen as the song for Kirin Beverage’s “Tennen Sodachi” commercial, it became a million-seller despite being their debut.

It also held the number-one spot on the Oricon Karaoke Chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

With lyrics by Yosui Inoue and music by Tamio Okuda, it was created by a star-studded duo.

It’s a laid-back, effortless tune that’s very easy and fun to sing.

fairylandHamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / fairyland (Short Ver.)

Ayumi Hamasaki’s classic “fairyland.” Because it’s a very upbeat song, many women in their 30s may avoid it thinking it’s too high, but surprisingly the vocal range isn’t that wide; it stays within mid1F to hiD.

What makes it easy to sing isn’t just that—the tempo is slightly slow at BPM 112, and the pitch movement is fairly consistent.

If you carefully track the pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke without any issues, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

On a full-moon nightaimyon

Aimyon – If It's a Full Moon Night [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
On a full-moon nightaimyon

A very moody song that evokes a long autumn night with a beautifully shining moon.

Released in April 2018 as Aimyon’s fourth major-label single, it’s also included on the acclaimed album “Shunkanteki Sixth Sense.” Although the words suggested by the title hardly appear in the lyrics, the song has a curious charm: through skillful metaphors—like the image of melting ice cream—it vividly brings to life a sensual night shared by two people.

Many of Aimyon’s lyrics adopt a male perspective, and I think that’s one of the reasons her music appeals broadly without alienating listeners.

At karaoke, singing it with a touch of boldness might help you sink into the song’s world and make it feel just right.
