Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s. A collection of masterpieces that are great to listen to and great to sing (51–60).
Mirror, mirrorFujita Maiko
Maiko Fujita captivates listeners with her clear, translucent voice.
As the lead single from her album “Color,” she released “Mirror, Mirror.” The phrase in the title is familiar from fairy tales, where it’s used like an incantation to question a magic mirror.
In the song, scenes reminiscent of those fairy tales are interwoven with the sorrow of a woman after a heartbreak.
You’ll hear many lines that evoke different fairy tales, so keep an ear out for those as you listen.
Time limitSuzuki Emiko
Singer Emiko Suzuki, whose father is musical theater actor Tomotaka Sugimoto, has been performing live with her family since childhood.
Her ninth digital-only single, “Time Limit,” released on June 23, 2023, kicks off with a hooky melody and a guitar riff that heighten anticipation right from the opening.
The lyrics, which evoke the image of leaving a dissatisfying partner and starting down a new path, may give those who struggle to make decisions the push they need to take that first step.
It’s an edgy number whose ensemble lingers in the ear, mirroring raw, straightforward emotions.
You know,aimyon
Singer-songwriter Aimyon, known for songs that resonate across generations such as “Marigold” and “Naked Heart,” has enjoyed widespread popularity.
Her 15th single, “Ano ne,” was written as the theme song for the film Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window.
Listening to its heart-wrenchingly bittersweet lyrics, combined with gentle melodies and ensemble, will likely leave you feeling sentimental.
It’s an emotional pop tune with an atmosphere that closely mirrors the film’s world.
The dust on the shade extendszutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
ZUTOMAYO is a band that enjoys overwhelming support from listeners in their teens and early twenties.
They specialize in songs that blend catchiness with emotional depth, and among those, the track I especially recommend is Shade no Hoko-ri wa Enchō (The Dust of the Shade Extends).
It features a large number of mixed-voice sections and very few rests, so it demands strong stamina and precise pitch control in the high range.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.
Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.
The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.
It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.
Natsumatope＝LOVE
=LOVE is a 10-member girls’ group produced by former AKB48 member Rino Sashihara, born as a new kind of voice-actor idol trained in voice acting.
Their 14th single, “Natsu Matopie,” drew attention for its double-center lineup featuring Maika Sasaki and Iori Noguchi.
Showcasing cute vocals in a refreshing ensemble, the track perfectly evokes the scenes of summer.
With plenty of call-and-response moments, it’s an upbeat tune guaranteed to fire up live shows and karaoke alike.
ilymaruri
Maruri, who made her solo and major-label debut in 2022, created the song “ily” under the production of singer-songwriter MINMI.
It’s a summery love song that candidly expresses the desire to be with the one you love.
It also seems perfect for creating a romantic atmosphere.
In addition, the rap part in the middle beautifully conveys the overflow of emotions.
