Popular Japanese songs among women in their 30s: Recommended masterpieces and classics (41–50)
delicate lipsJenīhai
Jenny High has created a masterpiece that resonates deeply—a heartrending story portraying a woman’s delicate emotions.
The feelings of a woman who tries to hide her inner pain by changing her appearance are carefully depicted through the small item of lipstick.
The song beautifully expresses the turmoil between vulnerability and putting on a brave face, and the collaboration with Chanmina adds further depth.
Included on the album “Jenny Classic,” released in June 2023, the track captured the hearts of many listeners alongside numerous tie-in songs.
It’s perfect for nighttime drives or quiet moments with someone special.
The rich, delicate vocals exude a mature allure, leaving you wrapped in a pleasant afterglow.
STARSNakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima is a female singer who has left many masterpieces with her distinctive vocal technique and catchy J-pop.
Because she’s an artist with many high-pitched phrases, you might be inclined to avoid her songs if you’re aiming for a high score.
Even so, there are surely people who still want to go for a high score with her tracks.
In that case, we recommend STARS.
It’s a mature-sounding ballad with a very high frequency of long tones, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and the pitch movement isn’t overly dramatic.
If you can hold steady long notes without wavering, you should be able to sing it without issue.
You can also take advantage of the abundance of long tones to rack up extra points with vibrato.
PromiseKōda Kumi
Among women in their 30s, especially those 34 and under, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Kumi Koda is more of their generation than Ayumi Hamasaki? Kumi Koda’s sexy vocals and emotionally rich expressiveness are captivating, and her song “Promise,” while showcasing those qualities, is arranged to be very easy to sing.
The song definitely builds as a piece of music, but the rise in intensity toward the chorus is gentle, and the vocal range isn’t wide.
If you focus on dynamics and keep your pitch on track, aiming for a high score should be easy.
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.
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.
First LoveUtada Hikaru
A youthful love song by Hikaru Utada, whose lyrical piano tones and crystalline vocals sink deep into the heart.
The sorrow of parting and precious memories are woven together with care, and the recollection of first love returns like a film playing inside your mind.
Many will relate to the protagonist’s feeling that, even if a new romance comes along after the end of one, they can’t forget their first love.
Released in March 1999 on the album “First Love,” it was also used as the theme song for the drama “Majo no Jōken” broadcast the same year.
It’s a song that truly stays by the side of anyone who has experienced farewell with someone dear and is trying to move forward while holding those memories deep in their heart.
JupiterHirahara Ayaka
Ayaka Hirahara’s debut song presents a grand classical masterpiece theme with approachable lyrics and a brilliant arrangement.
Its beautiful melody and crystal-clear vocals offer deep comfort to those facing loneliness or anxiety, making it a moving piece.
Since its release in December 2003, it has remained a long-selling favorite and was also used as an insert song in the TBS drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B.” With Masayuki Sakamoto’s elegant arrangement and Hirahara’s expressive singing, the track is crafted to be easy and pleasant for anyone to sing.
Why not try it at karaoke when you want to cherish bonds with friends or need the courage to believe in yourself?
