Popular Japanese songs among women in their 30s: recommended masterpieces and classics (31–40)
deep forestDo As Infinity
Do As Infinity, the rock duo that was hugely active in the 2000s.
They’ve left many classic songs, but their most famous track is undoubtedly Deep Forest.
Unlike their rock-oriented works, this piece is crafted as pure J-pop, featuring a vocal line that’s easy to sing throughout.
The tempo is slightly on the slower side of mid-tempo, which makes it exceptionally easy to match pitch.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so women in their 30s should be able to sing it without any problem.
powder snowRemioromen
This is “Konayuki,” Remioromen’s eighth single, released in 2005.
It was used as an insert song in the Fuji TV drama “1 Litre of Tears.” From the quiet opening to the build-up before the chorus, the arrangement is excellent, and the quality of the chorus really stands out.
happiness!!!Kimura Kaera
Singer-songwriter Kaela Kimura, who garnered popularity with her rock sound that retained an air of ennui.
While her recent, more pop-leaning style is wonderful too, many women in their 30s probably prefer the rock flavor from this period.
Her track “happiness!!!” is a perfect work for savoring her rock side.
Although the average pitch is high and it may seem difficult, the overall range itself isn’t that wide at mid2A to hiF, and there’s plenty of room to lower the key, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score high with at karaoke.
scene of carnage; chaotic situation; crisis (literally: battlefield of asuras)Toukyou Jihen
Tokyo Jihen is a band that has consistently produced hit numbers and classic songs up to the present day.
Their single ‘Shuraba’ is their third release, and unlike their earlier rock-leaning sound, it features a jazzy, decadent melody with a kayōkyoku-like flavor that aligns more closely with their current musical style.
Although the vocal range is fairly wide (mid1F to hiF), the piece is relatively easy to sing because the vocal line is simple and the lyrics are sparse.
The impassive, mechanical vocal delivery also means it doesn’t demand much expressive nuance, which further contributes to its singability.
crescent moonayaka
This is “Mikazuki,” Ayaka’s fourth single, released in 2006.
It’s a ballad about a long-distance relationship, but even if you’re not in one, you can deeply relate to the feelings of longing for a loved one.
There are surely people who have shed tears listening to this song when struggling with love.

SEASONSHamasaki Ayumi
This is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 16th single, “SEASONS,” released in 2000.
It was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tenki Yohō no Koibito” (The Weather Forecaster’s Lover).
It’s a track from a time when Ayumi Hamasaki was highly active as a singer, with a melody that never gets old no matter how many times you listen.
366 daysHY
This is “366 Days” from HY’s fifth album HeartY, released in 2008.
It was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama and the Toho-distributed film Red Thread, and among HY’s many songs, “366 Days” is especially popular.
It’s impossible not to be moved—tears, goosebumps… Is there any other song this heart-wrenching?
