DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

[For Women in Their 30s] Top Karaoke Songs That Men Love (71–80)

spoiled childAi Otsuka

Ai Otsuka / Spoiled Child (Short Ver.)

Clingy Ai Otsuka

Ai Otsuka’s classic song “Amaenbo.” While Ai Otsuka has many unique tracks, this one is arranged as a particularly orthodox J-pop number among her works.

As a result, you won’t find vocal lines that require the complex pitch movements typical of modern songs.

The vocal range is about average, and since there aren’t especially high phrases in any section, there should be no vocal strain if you sing it in an appropriate key.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Hitomi Shimatani / “Papillon ~papillon~” [OFFICIAL MV FULL SIZE]

Papillon ~papillon~ Hitomi Shimatani

Hitomi Shimatani is a female singer who had a major breakthrough in the early 2000s.

She’s an impressive artist whose alluring looks contrast with her catchy vocals, and she has several hit songs to her name.

Among her works, one of the most stylish tracks is Papillon 〜papillon〜.

Although it leans toward an R&B flavor, the vocal line is surprisingly gentle and the range isn’t particularly wide.

Since the high-note phrases don’t cram in too many words or transition into long sustained notes, it’s a song that makes it relatively easy to aim for a very high score.

I love you more than anyone — Toko Furuuchi

Toko Furuuchi’s classic song “Dare Yori Suki Nanoni” (“Even Though I Love You More Than Anyone”).

For those in their late 30s, this track is likely to be deeply nostalgic.

While it’s categorized as J-pop, it features phrases here and there that are close to Black music—especially the neo-soul genre.

It’s characterized by a calm vocal line, typical of neo-soul, and a relatively narrow range, making it an easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
