Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Among women in their 30s, many probably find themselves with plenty of chances to go to karaoke—like girls’ nights with childhood friends you haven’t seen in a while, class reunions, or the third after-party at a wedding.

In this article, we’ll introduce easy-to-sing, crowd-pleasing song recommendations for women in their 30s who are unsure what to pick at karaoke, including tracks you listened to as a kid, hits from your teenage years, and recent songs.

Let’s look back on those nostalgic days you spent together and enjoy a great time with the songs that hold your memories!

For a long time, Kiroro

Kiroro’s debut single released in 1998.

It was a song that drew attention from its indie release and gradually gained popularity through cable broadcasts and radio.

As we become adults, we stop being selfish and take fewer headlong leaps into love.

It’s a love song that evokes nostalgia and, precisely because we’re adults now, really hits home.

Sakuranbo Otsuka Ai

It was released in 2003 as Ai Otsuka’s second single.

The song became her first to break into the Oricon Top 10, and in 2004 it became the first “chaku-uta” (ringtone) in history to reach one million downloads.

It’s also very popular among men, and in high school baseball it’s now a staple used as a cheering song and chance theme.

It’s a song everyone can get hyped to while shouting call-and-response together.
