freezing rainMika Hino
This song, which portrays a fleeting, heartrending love, is memorable for vocals that convey strength even within sorrow.
MIKA Hino’s transparent voice beautifully expresses the feelings of a woman who still longs for a former lover.
Released in 1982, the track became such a major hit that it earned a spot on that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
With its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow melodic range, it’s a song that even those who struggle with pitch may find easier to sing.
Try letting your hidden feelings ride on your voice and express them.
Plover on the BeachLyrics by Naruaki Kashima / Music by Ryutaro Hirota
The work that richly portrays a plover crying as it searches for its parents on a blue moonlit beach was first introduced to the world by Meishū Kashima and Ryūtarō Hirota in the New Year’s issue of the magazine Shōjo-gō in 1919.
It poetically depicts a bird born from the realm of waves, with wet wings of silver, crossing the sea in search of its parents and vanishing into the land of moonlight.
It is said that behind this piece lies Meishū Kashima’s feelings for the parents from whom he was separated early in life, giving the song a profound content that symbolizes the bond between parent and child and the sorrow of parting.
Although classified as a children’s song, it is also appreciated as a lyric song, and its calm, gentle melody beautifully colors the seaside scenery.
It’s perfect for those who wish to sing while reminiscing about the past, or for moments when you want to feel the changing of the seasons.
A cold morningSayuri Yoshinaga
The renowned actress Sayuri Yoshinaga.
While not a full-fledged singer, she has also pursued singing and has produced numerous classic songs.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend for women in their 70s as an easy song to sing is Samui Asa (Cold Morning).
The vocal line in this piece is a quintessential kayōkyoku style.
Because its musicality is closer to that of the early Shōwa era, the vocal line is particularly simple compared to songs from the 1970s and 1980s.
With a narrow range and few lyrics, it’s a song that makes it easier to stay on pitch.
There are many long tones in the low to mid registers, so even those who can’t produce vibrato on high notes should find it easy to sing.
Listening to OliviaAnri
A melody that gently envelops the lingering ache of a bittersweet romance, paired with refined musicianship, resonates deeply in the heart.
The lyrics, which carefully depict a woman healing her delicate emotions after a breakup while listening to Olivia Newton-John’s songs, have struck a chord with many.
With Anri’s clear, translucent vocals giving the piece a sophisticated, urban feel, it was released in November 1978 and included on the album “Anri.” In 2008, it was also featured as an insert song in the Nippon TV drama “Saito-san,” cementing its status as a timeless classic loved across generations.
This warm ballad offers comfort to those trying to recover from the pain of heartbreak and to anyone who has experienced parting with someone dear.
Silver RoadThe Peanuts
The Peanuts were a female duo that produced several hit songs in the 1960s.
Their music leaned toward folk, and they tended to have many easy-to-sing tracks.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Silver Road.
This piece has few high notes and no abrupt leaps in pitch, making it quite easy to sing even for women in their 70s whose voices may not project as strongly.
Another point is that both members sing the main melody, so it works well as a solo piece too.
March of 365 StepsKiyoko Suizenji
This song has long been loved as an anthem of encouragement in life, carrying the message that taking one step at a time is important.
Since its release in November 1968, it has continued to resonate with many people.
Born during Japan’s period of rapid economic growth, the song is characterized by its cheerful melody and positive lyrics.
It has been used in films, TV commercials, anime, and many other contexts, and has been cherished by people of all ages.
How about humming along with older adults while being enveloped by Ms.
Suizenji’s warm singing voice? It will surely bring back fond memories and give you a boost of energy.
TouchHiromi Iwasaki
An anime theme song that captures the bittersweetness of youth was released in March 1985.
It’s a wonderful track featuring Yoshimi Iwasaki’s clear, transparent vocals and a melody that resonates deeply.
The lyrics convey the feelings of a girl in love with her childhood friend, leaving a lasting impression with its sweet, heartrending portrayal of adolescence.
The song drew major attention as the opening theme for the anime Touch and reached No.
12 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
It has also become widely used as a cheer song for high school baseball, a staple performed in the stands.
With a melody everyone can hum along to, it’s a perfect choice for karaoke with friends.
