Blue airmailYumi Arai
Yumi Matsutoya is a great female singer-songwriter who has been active for many years.
She once performed under the name Yumi Arai.
Among the many masterpieces she has created, there are songs that are easy for anyone to sing.
One such song is Aoi Air Mail.
It’s a wistful piece themed around a letter from a lover far away, and it’s a classic with a relaxed tempo throughout.
There aren’t many high parts either, so it should be easy to sing even for those with lower voices.
The Ten CommandmentsAdo
When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.
In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.
Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.
That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
From a distant townMiki Imai
Miki Imai’s hidden gem “Tooi Machi Kara” (“From a Distant Town”).
Released in 2015, it remains one of her most serene and cherished masterpieces among fans.
While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it can be sung throughout in a whispery style, making it easier to perform than it sounds.
It may seem like a high-pitched song, but it doesn’t require falsetto, and the higher notes can be reached smoothly by thinning the voice.
It’s recommended for those whose natural pitch is high but who struggle with vocal power.
Cinderella HoneymoonHiromi Iwasaki
Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.
While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.
TANGO NOIRAkina Nakamori
Among women in their 50s—especially those in their late 50s—many may have admired Akina Nakamori.
With her sultry low voice and captivating performances, she was so stunning that even women couldn’t help but be enthralled.
Of her songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “TANGO NOIR.” Since it’s composed in a lower range, there’s no strain from belting high notes.
If you’re a woman in your 50s with a low voice, definitely give it a try.

FriendsREBECCA
For women in their 50s who want to sing a fast-paced rock song at karaoke, I highly recommend “Friends.” Released in 1985 by Rebecca, a rock band active since the 1980s, it’s known as one of their signature tracks.
NOKKO’s supple vocals over a passionate rock sound make a strong impression.
When singing it at karaoke, the key is to project energetically in time with the up-tempo rhythm.
Give this rock number a try to lift the mood in the karaoke room.
Embraced by the wintry windKyoko Koizumi
This was Kyoko Koizumi’s 20th single, released in November 1986.
The song was composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE, and a THE ALFEE version—with substantially revised lyrics and other changes—was later released as well.
It’s likely that Takamizawa wrote it with idol Kyoko (Kyon Kyon) in mind: the song features a simple structure with a striking, memorable A-melody intro and a closing B-melody, and a straightforward melody with a slightly classical touch that makes it very easy to sing.
There aren’t any parts that require advanced vocal technique, so if you like the song, consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.
