Easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs recommended for women in their 50s (91–100)
Roppongi HeartbreakAnn Lewis
This was Ann Lewis’s 24th single, released on October 5, 1984.
It was a big hit at the time, selling nearly 300,000 copies.
As of 2022, many women in their 50s may have performed this song with a band and sung it on school festival stages.
It’s a very cool, up-tempo rock number, and the vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, so I think it’s very easy to sing even for people who don’t usually sing much.
Be sure to sing it coolly like the artist herself and grab everyone’s attention!
Sailor Suit and Machine Gun: 'In the Midst of a Dream'Hiroko Yakushimaru
This is the theme song of the film Sailor Suit and Machine Gun starring Hiroko Yakushimaru.
With this movie and the song of the same title, Yakushimaru shot to stardom.
The film itself has been remade, and the song has been covered by Masami Nagasawa and Kanna Hashimoto, making it a timeless classic.
Yakushimaru’s voice—melancholic yet resolute—perfectly matches the story’s world.
I want to go back to that day.Yumi Matsutoya
This song, from before her name change and currently credited to Yumi Matsutoya, was the theme for the drama “Family Secrets” starring Kumiko Akiyoshi.
Released when she had only just entered her twenties, it’s a track that reminisces about the radiant days of youth.
Around the time you turn twenty, you often feel caught between being an adult and a child, and your heart can become unstable.
Looking at these lyrics, I can’t help but feel that Yumi Matsutoya must have experienced the same thing.
I want to go back to those joyful days of youth and meet the cheerful version of myself from back then.
Haven’t you ever felt that way, too?
ONE SUMMER NIGHTMiki Matsubara
ONE SUMMER NIGHT is a song by Miki Matsubara that captures bittersweet memories of a summer night.
Its pop, melodious arrangement blends with her clear, translucent vocals to deeply move listeners.
Released in 1982, the composition was by Yuichiro Oda, and the track is included on the album SEE・SAW.
The lyrics portray a fleeting summer romance and are likely to resonate with women in their 50s.
While it has a somewhat Western pop flavor, the vocal line is relatively simple among songs of that style, so if you’re looking for an easy-to-sing city pop number, give this one a try.
Light Blue RainJunko Yagami
Junko Yagami’s 1978 hit, with its beautiful high notes in the chorus, grabs listeners by the heart! Many were drawn to her sultry voice, which, despite her being only 20 at the time of release, conveyed a maturity beyond her years.
Try singing it yourself—mimic that exhilarating chorus while adding the unique allure that only someone in their 50s can bring!
Let yourself go with the flow of timeTeresa Teng
When it comes to Asian divas who were popular from the 1970s to the 1990s, Teresa Teng stands out.
Her 16th single, “Toki no Nagare ni Mi wo Makase,” is a masterpiece that expresses the steadfast love of a woman.
It has a relaxed tempo and is easy to sing, so I recommend it.
The latter half of the chorus stays in a high range, so it might be a bit challenging for people with lower voices.
for you…Mariko Takahashi
A song with almost no changes in scale that can score high in karaoke.
The lyrics really convey the feelings when sung by an adult woman who’s had various experiences.
Even if you can’t project a big voice, you can still carry the chorus.
If you want to warm up your throat at the start of a karaoke session, this is the first song I recommend!
