[Women in their 50s] Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even if you're not confident in your pitch (121–130)
unrequited love for someone already in a relationshipMiyuki Nakajima
Miyuki Nakajima has produced many beloved songs.
Her raw psychological portrayals and piercing messages remain popular and continue to attract support from younger generations.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Yokorenbo.
Compared to many of her other songs, this piece has a distinctly pop feel, with a development that somewhat resembles a Christmas song.
The vocal range is narrow and there are no parts that require belting, so it’s a well-suited and easy song for women in their 50s to sing.
Kiss me right nowLINDBERG
This was LINDBERG’s second single overall, released on February 7, 1990.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki!” (aired January–March 1990).
The song has a very simple, straightforward vocal melody, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to hum along with ease.
Speaking of 1990, it was the height of the band boom, and many women now in their 50s may have covered this song with their bands and sung or played it at school festivals.
It’s an up-tempo, exhilarating tune, so don’t worry about whether you’re good or bad at singing—just belt it out and feel energized!
Forbidden TelepathyShizuka Kudo
Shizuka Kudo, a female singer who gained popularity in the ’80s.
Even if she didn’t leave a strong impression during her Onyanko Club days, many women in their 50s may have admired her after she went solo.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Forbidden Telepathy.
It’s crafted with a cool musicality that connects to Kudo’s later style, but since it dates from a time when she hadn’t fully developed her abilities as a singer, the vocal lines are kept simple.
Mr. SummertimeCircus
Circus’s biggest hit song, “Mr.
Summertime.” It’s a Japanese-language cover of Michel Fugain & Le Big Bazar’s “Une Belle Histoire,” and it enjoyed nationwide popularity.
For women in their 50s, it’s safe to say almost everyone has heard this classic.
The song as a whole is arranged with a downbeat vocal line, so there are hardly any high notes.
If you’re a woman in your 50s who finds it hard to hit high pitches, give this one a try.
It can also be performed as a duet with a man, making it a great choice for getting the crowd going.

Message of RougeYumi Arai
This was Yumi Arai’s fifth single, released in February 1975.
Considering the release year, it might feel a bit nostalgic even for people in their 50s.
It was used as the opening theme song for Studio Ghibli’s 1989 film Kiki’s Delivery Service, which makes it a very familiar tune—and an excellent choice for karaoke.
The tempo is light and easy to groove to, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to handle it without much hesitation.
Just be careful not to lag behind the rhythm or tempo.
If you can sing it with a good groove, you’re good to go!
RememberKazama Three Sisters
The idol unit Kazama Three Sisters, consisting of Yui Asaka, Yuka Ōnishi, and Yuma Nakamura, originated from Sukeban Deka.
Because their vocal ability was solid, their songs continued to energize the music scene even after the drama ended.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Remember.
Centered around low to low-mid tones and strongly flavored with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) style, it’s a very singable piece for women in their 50s.
Time TravelerMariya Takeuchi
Mariya Takeuchi has produced many classic songs, and she has also released tracks in English.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “Jikuu no Tabibito.” Because it’s in English, pronunciation can be a hurdle, but if you can get past that, you’ll find this song very easy to sing.
It’s a ballad with a calm, Carpenteresque melody, without sudden jumps in pitch and with a relatively narrow vocal range.
