[Karaoke] A roundup of easy-to-sing Miyuki Nakajima songs (1–10)
light sleepMiyuki Nakajima
“Shallow Sleep” is one of her hit songs, notable for a vocal performance where power and delicacy intersect.
It portrays the subtle loneliness of a man and a woman living in the city, strongly reflecting the image of Tokyo, the city that never sleeps.
It’s also an easy pick for karaoke, since the pitch and musical changes are relatively modest—making it approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s recommended to understand the lyrics deeply in advance as well.
By singing while visualizing the world the lyrics evoke, you should be able to express her unique musical sensibility!
Fight-RyanseMiyuki Nakajima
I take my hat off to the clever wordplay of “Tōryanse” turned into “Tōryanse (battle)”! In fact, this song, “Tōryanse,” was originally provided as a single released in 2008 by actress Yoko Kuga under the name YOKO, and later Miyuki Nakajima herself re-recorded it as a self-cover and released it anew.
It’s a song that sits somewhere between kayōkyoku and enka, and Nakajima delivers it with plenty of theatrical flair.
The pitch is relatively low—low enough for men to sing—and the range isn’t extremely wide, so overall it seems quite singable.
That said, simply hitting the notes won’t capture the song’s atmosphere; don’t be shy—sing it with the gusto of fully becoming Nakajima herself.
Milk 32Miyuki Nakajima
Milk 32, which poignantly captures the feelings of a woman heartbroken in love, is a hidden gem from the 1978 album Say You Love Me.
With relatively gentle melodic ups and downs, it’s perfect for karaoke.
Its acoustic vibe is also appealing, making it a great choice when you want to sing in a slightly ennui mood and relax.
To avoid a monotonous delivery, try adding contrast between the first half and the second half for an even better atmosphere.

Lullaby of the Thistle MaidenMiyuki Nakajima
Azami-jō no Lullaby is a song released in 1975 as Miyuki Nakajima’s debut single, characterized by a hauntingly beautiful, melancholic melody.
The lyrics, in which a woman likens herself to a thistle blooming at night and quietly accepts an unrequited love, are deeply moving.
While embracing sadness, the song also carries a positive message about facing forward and moving on.
Its vocal range isn’t very wide and it’s easy to sing, so giving it a try at karaoke should leave you feeling refreshed!
A farewell to that farewellMiyuki Nakajima
Speaking of Miyuki Nakajima, her music is known for melodies filled with a sense of wistfulness or ones that lift your spirits.
In contrast, “Ano Sayonara ni Sayonara o” stands out with a fresh, flowing melody that sets it apart from those works.
The vocal line is simple, but because the song requires a bit of vocal power, it’s best if you can sustain long tones in the mid-to-high range.
The rhythm is easy to follow, and there are no advanced techniques like scoops, so definitely try practicing it at karaoke.
River of MemoriesMiyuki Nakajima
The linguistic sensibility of coming up with a phrase like “Omoide-gawa” (“River of Memories”)—something that seems obvious yet doesn’t readily come to mind—truly reflects Miyuki Nakajima’s unique worldview.
Released as a single in 1978, this song has the flavor of a Showa-era ballad tinged with melancholy, the kind you want to listen to alone at night.
Overall, the vocal range is narrow and the pitch sits low, making it easy for women with lower voices to sing, and likely approachable for men as well.
I recommend singing it with plenty of emotion even as you keep it understated, savoring the depth of the lyrics as you go.
clownMiyuki Nakajima
The song “Pierrot” portrays a poignant man who tries to make a move on a woman who has just broken up with her lover, yet she never quite turns to face him.
Released in 1979, it features a memorable, wistful melody reminiscent of Showa-era mood kayō.
Because the song stays in a low register throughout, it’s relatively easy to sing even for those who can’t hit high notes.
However, some women may find it too low; in that case, raise the key to match your vocal range.
