wicked womanMiyuki Nakajima
Released in 1981, “Akujo” is a classic that portrays the feelings of a woman who chooses to be disliked by the man who cheated on her.
Its slow, gentle tempo and simple melody make it easy to sing—one of its biggest charms.
The poetic lyrics, which seem to speak for a betrayed woman’s heart, may bring you to tears as you sing.

Speaking of Miyuki Nakajima, her realistic lyrics that portray human weakness are striking.
“Kanashimi Warai” is a masterpiece that showcases Nakajima’s keen powers of observation.
It depicts a melancholy figure of a flawed woman—used by a bad man and numbing herself with alcohol and play—set to a decadent melody.
As for the vocal line, there are no particularly high parts, so it’s relatively easy to sing.
However, since the song makes extensive use of vibrato, you’ll likely want at least a basic command of vibrato if you aim to make it sound good.

Miyuki Nakajima’s classic “Revival,” released in 1979, features a hauntingly melancholic melody that’s quintessentially her.
It’s also an easy song to sing.
True to many older works, the vocal line uses relatively few notes, making the phrasing smooth and the delivery comfortable.
The vocal range is narrow as well, so it’s a good choice even for middle-aged singers who may find high notes challenging.
Its melody and lyrics suit male voices too, which adds to its singability.

Just note that the intro is long and the timing of the first entrance is a bit tricky—keep that in mind when you sing!

Miyuki Nakajima’s “Seijo” is a great song to sing gently at karaoke when you want something with a deep message.
It starts with a distinctive intro, and the opening lines are a strong point that can immediately capture the audience’s attention.
Since the same melody is repeated several times, it’s easy to try even if you’re not good at remembering complex song structures or melodies.
