BEACONNEW!DREAMS COME TRUE
For women in their 40s, isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE arguably the most popular musical duo? They have many classic songs, but the one I recommend as an easy pick even for those who aren’t great at singing is BEACON.
This relatively new track was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the TV drama “The Great Pursuit: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Major Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to the late-1990s to early-2000s style, featuring a wistful yet nostalgic melody.
In particular, the bass line carries a nostalgic effect that you don’t often hear in contemporary Japanese pop.
As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song.
While there are plenty of long sustained notes, the overall pitch movement is gentle.
Let's Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~NEW!Yuki Koyanagi
This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.
Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.
MarigoldNEW!Aimyon
Aimyon is popular across all generations.
“Marigold” is also a hit that people in their 50s often sing at karaoke.
I have students of various ages, and many of them sing her other songs too! It seems Aimyon really resonates with everyone, regardless of gender or age.
Also, “Marigold” sits in a comfortable range of F#3 to B4, so it’s an easy song to sing with a melody that’s simple for anyone to pick up.
If you think you’re tone-deaf, you might get nervous when holding the mic, but try not to tense up—sway gently side to side and sing lightly.
It helps you relax, and I recommend it! This can be especially good in karaoke settings with younger people around.
If you say, “Everyone, sing along with me,” you’ll feel even more at ease, so just be natural and enjoy singing!
Cutie HoneyNEW!Kumi Koda
If you want a song to get everyone hyped, I recommend Cutie Honey.
It’s known across generations, so it’s a blast to sing at karaoke! Since many people are already familiar with the tune, you can probably breeze through it even if you’re not confident in your pitch.
The chorus does go a bit higher, so try to keep relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.
That said, this is a song where vibe matters more than vocal technique—if you move your body and use hand gestures to the rhythm, the tension naturally eases and it becomes much easier to sing! In fact, for people who aren’t used to karaoke, gestures are surprisingly important.
Standing stiff will almost always make you sing from your throat, so I highly recommend moving your body to the beat.
You’ll have a great time—don’t be shy, give it a try!
Wasshoi!NEW!Nanae Aikawa
Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as the Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.
Her song “Wasshoi!” was released in 2025 with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan.
The piece intentionally incorporates a distinctly Japanese-style melody, featuring several enka-like phrases.
As a result, it’s naturally crafted to be easy for Japanese listeners to sing, but since the end of the chorus holds a long note at a slightly higher pitch, be careful not to let your voice crack there.
If you set the key to suit this section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.
Main ThemeHiroko Yakushimaru
Actress Hiroko Yakushimaru is known for her delicate singing voice.
Since she also had great success as a singer, many women in their 50s likely include her songs in their repertoire.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Main Theme.
Crafted with a style reminiscent of the Latin jazz classic Sway, this piece has a relaxed tempo and a very singable vocal line.
With a lot of lower notes, it’s also a good choice for women who find high notes difficult.
Mi AmoreAkina Nakamori
Akina Nakamori, the legendary idol who defined an era.
For women in their 50s, she was likely someone to look up to.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Mi Amore.” Despite its Italian title, it’s characterized by a samba-like rhythm.
Another feature is its very narrow vocal range, making it easy to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes.
It’s the perfect song for karaoke after a night out.
