Study SongChisato Moritaka
Actress Chisato Moritaka, who gained popularity from the 1980s to the 1990s.
She has left behind many classic songs as a singer as well, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s is Study Song.
As the title suggests, it’s literally a song that encourages studying, and for women in their 40s who were students back then, it may be particularly memorable.
Since this piece isn’t a song performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is calm and relatively even, without many ups and downs.
The vocal range is also quite narrow, so it should be easy enough to sing even at a third-round after-party.
BABYRYKEY
This is a love song by RYKEY, an artist with a unique presence in Japan’s hip-hop scene.
Released in June 2015, it features emotionally rich lyrics born from RYKEY’s multicultural background and diverse life experiences.
The melodious beat merges with a heavy bassline, highlighting his powerful rap delivery.
The track dates from the same period as his debut album, “Pretty Jones,” and holds an important place in showcasing his growth as an artist.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to express their feelings to a lover candidly or who are seeking a realistic portrayal of love.
Best FriendKiroro
A heartwarming song that gently sings of deep gratitude toward a best friend and the memories of walking together in mutual support.
Released in June 2001 as the theme song for the NHK morning drama “Churasan,” this Kiroro track expresses feelings for a precious presence that always stays close during times of sadness or anxiety, conveyed through clear, pure vocals and the sound of piano.
Also included on the album “Four Leaves Clover,” it has become a standard often performed at life’s milestones, such as graduation and wedding ceremonies.
baby loveColorful Peach
This song expresses bittersweet emotions with approachable words and a catchy melody.
It’s being released in March 2025 by Colorful Peach, a YouTube-born game streaming group.
The refreshing pop-based sound leaves a strong impression, showcasing the members’ distinctive vocals.
The lyrics frankly convey the mix of affection and anxiety toward the other person, drawing many empathetic responses from fans.
It’s a track that resonates with anyone who’s just fallen in love or is swaying in the feelings of unrequited love!
Baby Don’t CryNamie Amuro
Released in January 2007, this ultimate love song sung by Namie Amuro blends tenderness with strength.
Portraying the resilience to overcome life’s hardships and sorrow, it was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Himitsu no Hanazono,” capturing the hearts of many women.
Set to a medium‑tempo melody that fuses R&B and J‑Pop, Amuro’s vocals—at times gentle, at times powerful—strike a deep chord.
It’s a track for anyone on the verge of giving up on love or their dreams, one that stirs courage from the depths of the soul.
BEST POSITIVElecca
Lecca, who was active as a reggae singer in the late 2000s, has a low vocal register that gives her a distinctive richness uncommon among Japanese artists.
Women who were in their late teens or twenties back then and are now in their thirties probably have a few of her songs in their repertoire.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is BEST POSITIVE.
The reggae elements are subtle here, and the album is arranged as easy-to-sing pop throughout.
With its narrow vocal range and mid-tempo pace, it should be effortless for women with lower voices to sing.
Better HalfOmoinotake
A gently woven love song about the universal theme of long-distance relationships.
It expresses the strong bond between lovers separated by physical distance through refined pop sounds and a soaring vocal performance.
Featured on the album “Pieces,” it stands alongside the drama “Eye Love You” theme song “Ikuoku Kounen” as one of Omoinotake’s signature tracks.
A unique work born from a collaboration with SEVENTEEN’s JEONGHAN, it brilliantly fuses J-pop and K-pop.
With an uplifting message that the heart is always by your side and lyrics that beautifully depict love deepening, it is sure to resonate with anyone living apart from someone they cherish.
