I'm falling in love with you againFuyumi Sakamoto
A masterpiece in which Fuyumi Sakamoto’s gentle singing voice resonates warmly in the heart.
The charm of this song lies in its lyrics that sing of deep love and yearning.
While skillfully depicting nature, it expresses the strength of love that transcends time.
Released in January 2009, the song reached No.
3 on the Oricon charts and won various music awards.
It was also featured on NHK Radio 1’s “Rajio Shinyabin,” capturing the hearts of many listeners.
Even if you’re not confident in your singing, its relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing, so why not try singing it while thinking of someone special?
Ikebukuro at NightMina Aoe
Mina Aoe’s classic “Ikebukuro no Yoru,” with its strikingly decadent melody.
Because it’s a kayōkyoku song with strong enka elements, there are moments where you use kobushi (melodic turns).
Many women in their 70s are familiar with enka, so among enka-style pop songs, this one can be considered relatively easy to sing.
Moreover, there are very few spots in this piece that call for kobushi, and the embellishments themselves are simple, so even those who aren’t comfortable with kobushi should find it approachable.
Give it a try.
NoraYuki Kadokura
This is a song in which the deep emotions woven into Yuki Kadokura’s voice resonate in the heart.
Centered on themes of love, loneliness, and self-acceptance, it delicately portrays the complexity of human relationships and inner conflict.
Released in August 1998, this track has remained one of Yuki Kadokura’s signature works, beloved by many.
Her husky, emotionally rich vocals convey the song’s world even more deeply to listeners.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s easy to try even for those who aren’t confident singers, but the melody line is distinctive, so it’s best to listen multiple times and memorize it.
Try singing it slowly while thinking of someone important to you.
Lingering Snowdolphin
Iruka’s signature song “Nagori Yuki” is a classic that quietly depicts the poignant scene of a farewell.
Using the out-of-season snowfall of early spring as a motif, it sings of bygone youth and parting with a lover who has grown and moved on.
Its gentle melody and unhurried tempo highlight the lyrics that resonate deeply.
Released in 1974, it captured many hearts and became a major hit.
Humming it while picturing a farewell scene may bring back nostalgic memories.
With a moderate vocal range and slow tempo, it’s also a song that’s easy to sing.
In the pouring rainAkiko Wada
Akiko Wada is a female singer who continues to thrive with her powerful vocals.
Many people may feel that it’s difficult to replicate her dynamic voice.
For those people, we recommend Doshaburi no Ame no Naka de (In the Pouring Rain).
This song has a relatively narrow vocal range and few long sustained notes, making it easy to sing even for women in their 70s.
Also, because Akiko Wada has a husky voice, the song is particularly helpful for those who find it hard to produce a smooth, pristine tone—another reason why this track is easy to sing.
Isn't it fine as long as you're happy?Naomi Sara
Naomi Sato is a female singer whose rich, deep voice leaves a strong impression, a striking contrast to her adorable looks.
She has created many classics, but among her works, the one I especially recommend is Iijanai no Shiawase Naraba (If You’re Happy, Isn’t That Enough?).
It features a quintessential kayōkyoku-style melody and doesn’t require the vibrato-like vocal ornaments typical of enka, making it a very singable song—especially for women in their seventies, given the generation.
The original key is low and the vocal range is narrow, so many people will likely be able to sing it without adjusting the key.

Ladybug SambaCherish
Let me introduce a lovely song that captures the arrival of spring.
Its bright, buoyant rhythm and lyrics depicting tiny creatures celebrating a wedding are especially memorable.
Released in July 1973, it was a major hit, reaching No.
5 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It has long been cherished as a classic wedding song.
For many older listeners, it may also bring back fond memories.
It’s perfect when you want to savor the cheerful atmosphere of spring or lift your spirits.
If everyone sings and dances together, it’s sure to become a wonderful time filled with smiles.
