[Recommended for women in their 30s] Japanese hit songs that liven up karaoke (1–10)
MarigoldAimyon
Judging from just the artist’s name and face, she may seem cute, but her songs and lyrics are lyrical, blending a poignant sadness with a sense of everyday life—she’s a popular singer-songwriter.
This song is no exception; it could be called one of Aimyon’s masterpieces, where her sentimental side and a bittersweet feeling are interwoven with flickers of hope.
CHE.R.RYYUI
For those of us in our 30s, isn’t “CHE.
R.
RY” the ultimate youthful love song? Unlike today, the back-and-forth on flip phones and the way we used emojis are things we can all relate to.
It’s a song that really gets people of the same generation excited.
Why not sing it and reminisce together about your youth? This tune is one everyone can hum along to—perfect for karaoke.
crescent moonAyaka
A signature song by Ayaka that sings of feelings for a loved one far away.
The gentle ballad’s lyrics portray a poignant image of a woman living bravely while battling loneliness.
Released in September 2006, it topped the Oricon Weekly Chart and was featured as the theme song for NHK’s “Mirai Kansoku: Tsunagaru TV @ Human” as well as in an au commercial.
Keep a clear, composed vocal tone and pour your feelings into the simple melody as you sing.
If you perform it toward the end of a karaoke session, just when everyone’s in the mood for something a bit calmer, you might even captivate the men in the room.
Yeah! Super holiday!Aya Matsuura
Speaking of songs that let you feel like an idol, how about Aya Matsuura’s “Yeah! Meccha Holiday”? For people in their 30s, Ayaya is right on target for your generation.
It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped if you sing it together at karaoke.
How about warming up the room by singing this energetic track? It’s a song that the Hello! Project generation loves, but it’s also widely known and a sure crowd-pleaser, so definitely try enjoying it with everyone.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
Selected as the theme song for the third installment of the popular drama series “Kids War,” which starred Mao Inoue, this is one of ZONE’s signature tracks and remains highly popular to this day.
Even long after its release, it has continued to be covered by various well-known artists, and it drew attention when a cover by a popular voice actor was used in “Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day.” For women in their 30s, it’s likely a song that evokes a strong sense of nostalgia.
SenbonzakuraWagakki Band
The Vocaloid song “Senbonzakura” is very famous, and this time I’ll explain it using the easier-to-understand Wagakki Band version.
Since the lyrics contain lots of difficult kanji and words, I recommend memorizing it by ear so you can handle it at karaoke! When singing, the key point is to articulate clearly so the words don’t get blurred.
In particular, crisp vowel pronunciation will make it easier to listen to and sing.
The A-melody has a lot of words, so rather than “singing every single word firmly,” it’s probably best to sing with a light, bouncy feel.
The chorus builds toward the end and includes some long notes, so singing in a comfortable voice for you will feel great.
It’s a famous song, so many people have covered it.
Be sure to listen to various versions of “Senbonzakura” and find the one you like best!
Moonlight LegendDALI
This song by DALI is a romantic classic that tells a love story guided by moonlight.
Released in March 1992, it gained instant attention when it was used as the opening theme for the anime Sailor Moon.
With lyrics about pure feelings of love and fateful encounters, it vividly reflects the 1990s view of romance and makes your heart race every time you listen.
It’s the perfect track for women in their 30s to get excited at girls’ nights or reunions—sure to have everyone singing along and reminiscing together.
