Alone in the twilightMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya is a leading Japanese singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
For women in their 50s, she might be the perfect artist.
She has many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Hitori in the Twilight.” It features a vocal line that showcases her signature Yuming style, yet the melody doesn’t jump drastically up and down, so it’s relatively easy to keep pitch.
The chorus raises the voltage all at once, but the overall range isn’t that wide, so if you choose the right key, even those with lower voices should be able to sing it without difficulty.
evening calmNav Katze
Nav Katze, a female rock band formed in 1984, drew attention with their delicate harmonies and bold guitar sound.
They began as a trio consisting of Miwako Yamaguchi, Naoko Iimura, and Shino Furutachi, debuting in December 1986 under the production of Moonriders’ Toru Okada.
While grounded in rock, they incorporated a wide range of styles—including noise, ambient, and techno—to craft a unique musical world.
In 1991, Furutachi left the group, and they continued as a duo, going on to collaborate with renowned international artists such as Aphex Twin.
Their fusion of translucent vocals and electronica has been highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad.
They are a band highly recommended for music fans in search of an original sound.
You’ve Got a Friend in MeRandy Newman
The warm melody that plays at the start of Disney/Pixar films is a classic that gently embraces viewers’ hearts.
Randy Newman’s composition, themed around irreplaceable friendship, blends elements of country and pop to create an inviting, approachable song.
Included on the soundtrack released in November 1995 and issued as a single the following year, the piece has continued to appear in various arrangements throughout the film series.
In 2002, it was nominated for an Academy Award, cementing its status as one of Disney’s signature songs.
Notable artists such as Michael Bublé have covered it, further expanding its appeal.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to feel the bonds you share with loved ones or be soothed by heartwarming music.
usmilet
A heartrending love song by milet that earnestly sings about cherishing the present moment, even while feeling anxious about possibly losing a relationship by confessing one’s feelings.
She conveys the interplay of courage and fear in taking a step forward through her signature husky voice.
Born from the album “us,” released in August 2019, this track also perfectly captures the world of the NTV Wednesday drama “Fake Affair,” for which it served as the theme song.
It gently accompanies those who struggle to express their feelings honestly to someone, or who hesitate out of a desire not to change a precious relationship.
Yuikaokusuri
Yuika’s popular song “Okusuri.” Because it’s frequently used on TikTok and Instagram, many of you have probably heard it before.
Listening to this track, which gives the impression of having a high vocal range, some people might feel they can’t picture getting a perfect score.
However, the song’s range is surprisingly narrow, and if you match the key properly, you can definitely aim for a high score.
The vocal line isn’t intense, and there are no sudden jumps in pitch, so you can maintain solid pitch control.
Even if the dream endsTOMOO
TOMOO is one of the singer-songwriters who represent the J-pop scene of the Reiwa era.
Since the hit release of “Ginger” in 2021, she has continued her remarkable rise, armed with outstanding songwriting skills and a voice you can recognize at first listen.
Many of her songs feature melodies that aren’t straightforward, so there may be plenty of people who want to sing TOMOO’s songs at karaoke but feel they might be difficult.
However, “Yume wa Sametemo” is relatively easy to sing and highly recommended.
It’s an infectious pop song with rhythmic piano tones and a dazzling brass section.
While the chorus does include some falsetto, the overall range is on the narrower side, so even those who aren’t confident with high notes should definitely give it a try.
cradlesaji
A heart-stirring ballad woven from memories of the singer’s real grandmother, where poignancy and warmth intersect.
Yoshida Takumi, vocalist of saji, delicately portrays relationships with family that everyone experiences—from nostalgic childhood memories, to the regret of acting cold during adolescence, and the sorrow of parting.
The song is included on the June 2022 album “Eureka,” and its music video, starring actor Ojiro Maeda, drew attention for its moving, drama-like narrative.
It is sure to offer genuine comfort to those who want to express gratitude to their family or who have experienced the loss of someone dear.
