[By Age Group] Famous Songs We’d Like Women in Their 50s to Sing (61–70)
Spring ~spring~Hysteric Blue
A Hysteric Blue song that gently brings back memories of the past.
Composed by drummer Takuya during a high school world history class, it was released in January 1999 and selected as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s variety show “Mokugeki! Dokyun.” It was also included on the albums “baby Blue” and “Historic Blue,” and the band went on to perform at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
With its refreshing melody and relatable lyrics, the song vividly portrays the meetings and farewells of spring and a resolve to chase one’s dreams, making it a piece that truly supports anyone embarking on a new chapter in life.
After all, I'm an idolKyoko Koizumi
This is a masterpiece by Kyoko Koizumi that portrays the light and shadow of idols with a mix of irony and humor.
By confronting the very idea of an idol head-on and vividly expressing both its front and back sides without concealment, it overturned the conventional concept of idol songs.
The complex emotions embedded within its bright, catchy melody—self-affirmation and inner conflict, loneliness amid glamour—sparked a major response when it was released in 1985.
The song was used in a commercial for Fujifilm’s Caldia and topped the Oricon chart, selling 420,000 copies.
It’s a track that resonates with the feelings of wavering between the “ideal self” and the “real self,” something people of any age or gender can relate to.
Cherry Blossom Timeaiko
A beautiful song by aiko that vividly captures the budding feelings of love that come with the arrival of spring.
Her gentle voice and flowing melody blend pleasantly, making it perfect for the spring season.
Released in February 2000, the song gained recognition after being featured in a Calpis Water commercial and was also included on the album “Under the Cherry Tree.” Tenderly singing about the courage to look toward the future and the feelings for a loved one, this is a track you’ll want to listen to when you want your heart to feel as clear as the spring sky.
Don't give upZARD
ZARD’s sixth single overall, released in January 1993.
Not just this song—ZARD’s run of hits and late-’80s to early-’90s J-POP in general are a treasure trove of songs that many people can sing at karaoke without strain! Back then, how often a song was sung at karaoke had a huge impact on CD sales.
So feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun.
I think most women can sing it without changing the key!
You’re My Only Shinin’ StarMiho Nakayama
It’s a romantic ballad that beautifully portrays a moonlit scene.
The song weaves feelings of a miraculous encounter and a vow of eternal love together with a gentle melody.
Under the starry sky, it’s a graceful tale that will resonate in your heart, making you want to listen while thinking of the one you love.
Miho Nakayama’s clear, translucent voice tenderly embraces an emotionally rich world that spins a story of everlasting love.
Released in February 1988 and crafted by Toshiki Kadomatsu, the piece reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
It also left a strong impression as an insert song for the TBS drama “Mama wa Idol!” starring Nakayama, and won the Japan Record Awards Gold Prize.
It’s recommended for moments when you want to step away from the busyness of daily life and savor your gratitude for someone special.
Why not spend a calm moment immersing yourself in this heartwarming, gentle love story?
Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima
Miyuki Nakajima’s powerful vocals are perfectly matched with the majestic sound.
This work gently illuminates the presence of people who usually go unnoticed yet live earnestly, likening them to “stars.” Released in July 2000 as the theme song for NHK’s popular documentary series “Project X: Challengers,” it gradually drew attention alongside the program’s broadcast.
At the 2002 Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was performed via a live relay from the Kurobe Dam and achieved the highest singer-specific viewership rating of the show.
Aim for dynamic, powerful singing like Miyuki Nakajima’s.
I'm falling in love with you againFuyumi Sakamoto
A gem of a love song by Fuyumi Sakamoto that gently portrays a rekindled romance blossoming between a long-married couple.
The serene melody and her emotive vocals weave a harmony that deeply resonates with listeners.
With warm, tender strokes, it depicts the precious affection found in everyday moments and gratitude for the many years overcome together.
Released in January 2009 as the coupling track to “Pirates of Asia,” the song also became beloved as the theme for Sanwa Shurui’s Mugi Shochu iichiko commercial.
It is included on the album “Love Songs ~ Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru ~,” and has earned support from a wide range of generations.
A recommended track for anyone wishing to rediscover the value of time spent with someone dear.
