[Recommended for women in their 30s] Japanese hit songs that liven up karaoke (71–80)
PrayEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is a musical duo featuring Kaori Mochida, known for her distinctive vocals, and guitarist Ichiro Ito.
They have many classic songs, but one I especially recommend is “Pray.” Although many might perceive it as a bright-sounding track, it actually sits in the mid to upper-mid vocal range, and the overall range isn’t particularly wide.
The tempo is a slightly slower mid-tempo, with well-defined rests built into the arrangement.
Love Dance SiteMōningu Musume.
Morning Musume’s classic “Koi no Dance Site,” known for its Arabian-inspired melody, is unforgettable.
Women in their early 40s have probably sung it at karaoke at least once.
Contrary to its flashy sound, the song’s vocal range is set quite narrow, making it easy to sing even with a more mature voice.
Some may feel hesitant about the Arabian scale, but since there aren’t sudden, ad-lib-like jumps in pitch, you can aim for a high karaoke score as long as you focus on solid pitch control.
Love, Day After TomorrowKuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki, a female singer who was hugely successful in the 2000s.
She’s often compared to Hikaru Utada, but even in songs with an R&B flavor like Utada’s, her vocal lines are actually straightforward J-pop, so she has quite a few tracks that are surprisingly easy to sing.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Love, Day After Tomorrow.
While it does feature some higher phrases, the overall pitch range isn’t that extreme, and the vocal line is fairly simple, making it a song that’s very conducive to scoring high—so long as you’re not uncomfortable with higher notes.
[Recommended for women in their 30s] Japanese hit songs that liven up karaoke (81–90)
I love you more than anyone.Furuchi Toko
Toko Furuuchi’s classic song “Dare Yori Suki Nanoni” (“Even Though I Love You More Than Anyone”).
For those in their late 30s, this track is likely to be deeply nostalgic.
While it’s categorized as J-pop, it features phrases here and there that are close to Black music—especially the neo-soul genre.
It’s characterized by a calm vocal line, typical of neo-soul, and a relatively narrow range, making it an easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
The 9th single “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” was written as the theme song for the TV drama Virgin Road.
It’s Namie Amuro’s biggest hit and a double-million seller beloved as a wedding staple.
With minimal melodic movement, it’s easy to sing, but since it shifts between a lively shuffle beat and a ballad, be careful not to get left behind by the rhythmic changes.
As a universally known hit, it’s a pop tune guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session.
distress (at sea/in the mountains); being lost; stranded; a disaster situationToukyou Jihen
Tokyo Jihen is often known for jazzy, stylish songs, but I don’t think that’s the impression many women in their 30s have of the Tokyo Jihen they listened to as teens.
Their track “Sounan” captures the early Tokyo Jihen sound: a somewhat jazzy, defeatist-tinged rock.
For women in their 30s, this is probably the kind of melody that comes to mind when they think of Tokyo Jihen.
While the song uses many semitone movements, its overall range is narrow, and the vocal line descends more than it ascends, making it easy to sing in any part.
It’s a perfect pick if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.
BLUE BIRDHamasaki Ayumi
When it comes to artists who colored the youth of women in their 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki is probably the name that comes up most often.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as an easy pick for scoring high in karaoke is BLUE BIRD.
Although it feels like a refreshing and powerful track, it actually has a relatively narrow vocal range.
The few high notes that do appear are only in the upper-mid range at most, and they come and go quickly.
Considering its limited range and how easy it is to match the pitch, it’s definitely a song you can aim for a high score with.
