Kiyamachi in the RainMidori Oka
Composed by Tetsuya Gen, who is said to have helped establish Midori Oka’s signature style, Ameno Kiyamachi was released in 2017 as a double A-side single with Sado no Yuubue, one of the three works in the “Mysterious Enka Trilogy.” It’s a classic, heart-wrenching enka song where vivid scenes of falling rain are artfully interwoven with the psychology of a love that has ended.
Overall, the pitch sits on the higher side, so it may be challenging for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the melody is straightforward and easy to remember, and the intonation is easy to grasp, so lowering the key should make it quite singable.
To my belovedMiyuki Kawanaka
Listening to the chorus of this song, many people who know the ’90s well probably recalled the TV commercial for House Foods’ instant ramen “Umaissho.” Released in 1994 as a single by Miyuki Kawanaka, it’s packed with J-pop flavor and sits a bit apart from classic enka, making it an approachable choice for karaoke even if you’re not into full-on enka.
Of course, techniques honed in enka—like vibrato—appear throughout, but it’s nice that the melody still feels great to sing even without vibrato.
Once you’re comfortable, listen closely to Kawanaka’s original performance and try gradually incorporating some vibrato.
a coquettish moodMiyuki Kawanaka
With its bouncy rhythm and Japanese-style arrangement, “Enya na Kibun” is the kind of song that makes you want to clap along and sway your body—you should definitely try singing it at karaoke.
Released in 2009 as a single by Miyuki Kawanaka, it’s a track that fills you with energy as you listen to her playful yet somehow gentle voice.
Kawanaka’s signature vibrato appears throughout, but there aren’t any intimidating high notes, and it’s a song you can enjoy even if you can’t do vibrato.
So first, try singing it without overthinking.
Once you get used to it, practice adding a bit of vibrato little by little!

Melody for TomorrowMidori Oka
Tomorrow’s Melody is a pop ballad that steps beyond the realms of enka and kayōkyoku.
Released in 2021, it became a landmark song that opened a new chapter for Midori Oka.
The composer is Minoru Komorita—credited as “Komorita Minoru”—who has crafted many classics, including SMAP’s massive hits like Dynamite and Lion Heart.
Its poignant yet powerful melody will feel familiar to anyone who often sings J-pop at karaoke.
Among Oka’s songs, the vocal range here is relatively narrow, and there aren’t dramatic jumps in pitch, so once you learn the melody, it should be easy to sing.
After that, try focusing on conveying the emotional nuances, just like Oka does!
ZUTTOMariko Nagai
Contrary to her adorable looks, singer Mariko Nagai gained popularity in the 1990s for her mature vocals.
When it comes to her signature songs, “ZUTTO” undoubtedly stands out.
It’s a ballad that embodies the sophisticated atmosphere of the 1990s.
While the dynamics are quite pronounced, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
However, because it features many long tones, it might be challenging to sing at an after-party.
That said, the vocal line itself is relatively easy, so give it a try when you’re feeling confident.
eternityZARD
Among women in their early 40s, many probably like ZARD.
Of all ZARD’s songs, one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Eien (Eternal).
It’s a classic J-pop ballad with a catchy, quintessentially J-pop vocal line throughout.
While the song is centered around the mid-to-high range, the overall range isn’t wide, so even those who struggle with higher notes should be able to sing it without trouble.
Be sure to give it a listen.
BelieveYuko Yamaguchi
After thriving as a member of the idol group A-Cha, Yuko Yamaguchi also had a successful career as a solo singer.
Her weapon was what we’d now call an “emo” vocal tone, and she gained popularity at the time with her delicate, airy songs.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s for its singability is Believe.
Although it’s centered around the mid-to-high range, the vocal line has a narrow range and doesn’t require much power, so it can be considered very easy in terms of difficulty.
