Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (81–90)
Listening to OliviaAnri
“Listening to Olivia” is Anri’s signature song, released in 1978.
It’s a breakup song that expresses a mature, bittersweet feeling—not just a simple tale of being in and out of love.
By the way, the “Olivia” in the title is said to refer to Olivia Newton-John, the American singer who was breaking big at the time.
The sustained high notes in the chorus are a bit tricky, but overall it’s a song you’ll want to sing gently.
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE
This is DCT’s signature song, Love Love Love.
The bittersweet lyrics and melody are irresistible, aren’t they? With this track, Dreams Come True sold over 2.
48 million CDs, making it the best-selling single they’ve ever released.
It was the theme song for the drama “Say You Love Me,” starring Takako Tokiwa and Etsushi Toyokawa.
The vocal range is on the lower side, so it’s a song I’d love to hear sung in a sultry low register!
You’re Kiwi, Papaya, and Mango.Meiko Nakahara
This was Meiko Nakahara’s sixth single overall, released on April 5, 1984.
Produced as a campaign song for Kanebo cosmetics at the time, it became a huge hit and propelled Nakahara into mainstream fame.
It’s a delightful track with a tropical, slightly Latin-flavored rhythm and melody, and lyrics that playfully spotlight the title phrase.
The key to making this song feel great at karaoke is, above all, locking into that bouncy Latin groove.
If it comes out flat, it can ruin the performance, so be sure to ride the rhythm and have fun singing it!
My loverMayumi Itsuwa
Mayumi Itsuwa is known as a pioneer among Japanese female singer-songwriters.
This signature song of hers is a poignant ballad themed around lost love and parting.
With melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners, it has remained beloved by many.
Released in August 1980, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and marked her first appearance at the 31st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
Written and composed by Itsuwa herself, there’s an anecdote that the demo vocal was so good it was released as is.
It’s recommended for women with strong vocal projection or anyone who can hit high notes, and its short length makes the lyrics easy to memorize.
Though it’s a heartbreak song, it’s one that, curiously, always gets the crowd going when sung.
My lover is Santa ClausYumi Matsutoya
A classic Yuumin number that’s also known as a Christmas song! It was used as the theme song for the film “Take Me Out to the Snowland” starring Tomoyo Harada.
It’s a bright, upbeat track, perfect for getting hyped and singing along with friends of the same generation! Try singing it while reminiscing about your youthful Christmas love stories!
Blue Coral ReefSeiko Matsuda
This is Seiko Matsuda’s smash hit, featuring a melody so uplifting it feels like it clears away even the cloudiest skies! Just listening will energize you—and singing it will boost your spirits even more.
It’s great to sing solo, of course, but I especially recommend belting it out with a few women of the same generation.
Since it’s a song many people know, even those who don’t go to karaoke often can sing it together with someone, feel invigorated, and turn back the clock!
Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (91–100)
Pink sighMariko Takahashi
This was Mari Takahashi’s 10th single, released on May 21, 1984.
It became a hit as the commercial song for Mitsutaka’s “Camellia Diamond,” and is a classic that stands as one of her signature tracks.
It’s a very alluring, beautifully slow-tempo piece, so if a woman in her 50s sings it, she may be able to capture its mature charm.
Melodically, there aren’t many particularly difficult parts to sing, but if you perform it too plainly, it can end up sounding dull.
Be sure to understand the meaning of the lyrics and try to recreate the song’s world when you sing it!
