Popular Japanese songs among women in their 30s: Recommended masterpieces and classics (21–30)
happiness!!!Kaela Kimura
Singer-songwriter Kaela Kimura, who garnered popularity with her rock sound that retained an air of ennui.
While her recent, more pop-leaning style is wonderful too, many women in their 30s probably prefer the rock flavor from this period.
Her track “happiness!!!” is a perfect work for savoring her rock side.
Although the average pitch is high and it may seem difficult, the overall range itself isn’t that wide at mid2A to hiF, and there’s plenty of room to lower the key, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score high with at karaoke.
STARSMika Nakashima
Mika Nakashima is a female singer who has left many masterpieces with her distinctive vocal technique and catchy J-pop.
Because she’s an artist with many high-pitched phrases, you might be inclined to avoid her songs if you’re aiming for a high score.
Even so, there are surely people who still want to go for a high score with her tracks.
In that case, we recommend STARS.
It’s a mature-sounding ballad with a very high frequency of long tones, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and the pitch movement isn’t overly dramatic.
If you can hold steady long notes without wavering, you should be able to sing it without issue.
You can also take advantage of the abundance of long tones to rack up extra points with vibrato.

deep forestDo As Infinity
Do As Infinity, the rock duo that was hugely active in the 2000s.
They’ve left many classic songs, but their most famous track is undoubtedly Deep Forest.
Unlike their rock-oriented works, this piece is crafted as pure J-pop, featuring a vocal line that’s easy to sing throughout.
The tempo is slightly on the slower side of mid-tempo, which makes it exceptionally easy to match pitch.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, so women in their 30s should be able to sing it without any problem.
PromiseKumi Koda
Among women in their 30s, especially those 34 and under, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Kumi Koda is more of their generation than Ayumi Hamasaki? Kumi Koda’s sexy vocals and emotionally rich expressiveness are captivating, and her song “Promise,” while showcasing those qualities, is arranged to be very easy to sing.
The song definitely builds as a piece of music, but the rise in intensity toward the chorus is gentle, and the vocal range isn’t wide.
If you focus on dynamics and keep your pitch on track, aiming for a high score should be easy.
BLUE BIRDAyumi Hamasaki
When it comes to artists who colored the youth of women in their 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki is probably the name that comes up most often.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as an easy pick for scoring high in karaoke is BLUE BIRD.
Although it feels like a refreshing and powerful track, it actually has a relatively narrow vocal range.
The few high notes that do appear are only in the upper-mid range at most, and they come and go quickly.
Considering its limited range and how easy it is to match the pitch, it’s definitely a song you can aim for a high score with.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is “Tentai Kansoku” (Stargazing), the second single by BUMP OF CHICKEN, released in 2001.
Back then, you heard it everywhere you went.
Songs like this make you feel nostalgic when you listen later, bringing back the people and places you were with at the time.
It’s a fast-paced track that makes you want to jump on a bike and race through a summer night.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
This is “Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo,” Superfly’s fourth single, released in 2008.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Mother of Edison.
I believe this song is truly complete only with Shiho’s voice—firm and powerful, yet imbued with gentleness.
