Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (41–50)
threadMiyuki Nakajima
It’s Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” (Threads).
It was released in 1998, but even today it’s often used in commercials and as an insert song in TV dramas, so you probably hear it quite a bit.
It’s also been covered by more than 20 artists—including EXILE’s ATSUSHI—and is one of those timeless classics loved across generations.
Thanks to its beautiful lyrics, it’s frequently played at weddings.
It could be a great choice to queue up near the end of a karaoke session for everyone to sing together.
Karaoke-friendly Japanese songs recommended for women in their 50s (51–60)
Ah, heartlessAnn Lewis
Ann Lewis is a rock singer whose raw vocals earned her strong support not only from women but also from men.
She has many classic songs, but in particular, “Aa Mujō” really showcases her rough, gritty voice.
The vocal range is slightly broad for an Ann Lewis song at about mid1 G to hi C, but compared with typical songs, it’s actually on the narrower side.
However, because the song is characterized by shout-style singing, it has a distinctive difficulty that’s different from a standard hi C.
Even so, the vocal line’s contour is relatively gentle for rock, so overall it’s a song that’s fairly easy to sing.
It’s fantastic for getting the crowd excited, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
presentJitterin' Jinn
“Present,” a song by Jitterin’ Jinn released in 1990.
While the track has an upbeat ska-punk vibe, it also carries a touch of quirky, almost progressive rock-like eccentricity.
Its biggest charm is, without a doubt, the poppy and comical melody.
The vocal range is mid2D to hiD, with the highest chest note at hiC#.
Since the range fits within about one octave, despite the poppy feel, it should be comfortably singable for most women.
Playback Part 2Momoe Yamaguchi
Momoe Yamaguchi’s classic “Playback Part 2,” which gained nationwide popularity with its novel setting at a traffic accident scene.
While the song features a somewhat unconventional structure, including bold break points, it boasts exceptional singability thanks to its very narrow range of mid2 A# to Hi A#.
The tricky part is the section that enters the chorus after the late-stage break point, so be sure to count the beats carefully before you come in.
It’s a huge hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Surely more than anyone else in the worldWANDS & Miho Nakayama
A memorable collaboration between WANDS and Miho Nakayama, marked by its sweet and wistful vocals.
This song is a heartwarming ballad that portrays deep love and bonds.
Used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dareka ga Kanojo o Aishiteru” (“Someone Loves Her”), it became a runaway hit upon its 1992 release.
It topped the Oricon charts and achieved the milestone of becoming a million seller.
Seamlessly blending WANDS’ rock sound with Miho Nakayama’s captivating vocals, this track is perfect for women in their 50s as well.
While evoking a sense of nostalgia, it features an easy-to-sing melody line, and remains beloved by many as a fun karaoke favorite to this day.
foreignerSaki Kubota
The song “Ihōjin,” with its strikingly Oriental melody, is Saki Kubota’s debut single.
At the time, she was an unknown singer-songwriter, but the tie-in with a memorable commercial featuring Silk Road imagery was a perfect match and made it a big hit.
The key is a bit on the high side, but since there aren’t large pitch jumps, I think it’s easy to sing!
I'll wait.Amin
A female duo, Aming.
This song is enjoyable whether you sing it with a close female friend or by yourself.
The lyrics are a bit sad, but they convey the feelings of a brave woman who holds back her tears and keeps going.
It’s a track that resonates with listeners and leaves a positive impression.
