Popular Japanese songs among women in their 30s: Recommended masterpieces and classics (21–30)
sparkleFuji Kaze
Many of you might know it as the song from Honda’s VEZEL commercial! This track, released in May 2021 by Kaze Fujii—a singer-songwriter proudly representing Okayama—features an irresistibly light beat and an exhilarating melody.
It carries a coolness that brushes off life’s difficulties with ease, while underneath flows a warmth that cherishes love.
The message—believing in your own shine after many experiences and moving toward the future together with someone precious—is sure to resonate.
Put it on first thing in the morning or during a weekend drive when you want a reset, and you’ll feel your everyday life suddenly light up.
DOLLSCANDAL
SCANDAL is a girls’ rock band that gained immense popularity in the late 2000s.
Even now, as a representative girls’ rock band, they continue to churn out hit numbers from time to time.
Among their songs, “DOLL” is likely a deeply nostalgic track for women in their 30s.
This piece covers a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 G# to hi D, and its vocal lines have gentle rises and falls, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
Popular Japanese songs among women in their 30s: recommended masterpieces and classics (31–40)
Love, Day After TomorrowKuraki Mai
Mai Kuraki’s signature song “Love, Day After Tomorrow.” This piece is notable for its light vocal delivery, reminiscent of Hikaru Utada.
It’s often said to have strong R&B elements, but authentic R&B techniques—such as vocal runs—don’t appear at all.
While the pitch tends to be somewhat high, the overall range is quite narrow at mid2 A to high D#, so with a key adjustment it’s easy for anyone to sing.
Personally, I think the most comfortable range is one where you can sing steadily with a light mixed voice.
StoryAI
This is “Story,” AI’s 12th single, released in 2005.
Paired with AI’s husky voice, the lyrics resonate deeply with women in their 30s who are grappling with various struggles.
It’s no wonder this masterpiece has remained consistently and enduringly popular over the years.
CHE.R.RYYUI
This is “CHE.R.RY,” YUI’s eighth single, released in 2007.
It’s a very cute song about the feelings of sending a text to someone you like on a cell phone.
Let it make your heart flutter as you remember the bittersweet nerves of a one-sided crush over a single message.
SaudadePorunogurafiti
This is “Saudade,” Porno Graffitti’s fourth single, released in 2000.
It was the first song of theirs to reach number one on the Oricon charts and became one of their signature tracks.
The song portrays the clingy, overly emotional side of men, yet when sung by Haruichi, it somehow comes across naturally and is easy to accept—even though many women supposedly dislike clingy men.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
Hanamizuki is Yo Hitoto’s fifth single, released in 2004.
She wrote it in about a week, inspired by an email from a friend who was in New York during the September 11 attacks.
Its profound lyrics have made it an unforgettable classic.
