Songs That Attract Women in Their 40s: A curated selection of male-vocal tracks that women love! (31–40)

Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia

From the road, with no preamble — Issei Fūbi Sepia
Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia

It’s a song that celebrates the spirit of manly resolve and the stoic Japanese male—the Yamato spirit.

Its light, surrealist touch has kept it sung to this day, and it’s even used as a sports day theme song, making it so well-known that people in their 40s still hear it at their children’s school events.

Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.

Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.

Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.

While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.

Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.

Fishmans is a band that holds the highest rating for a Japanese group on Rate Your Music, a globally known music review site.

Most hardcore music enthusiasts are probably familiar with them.

Among their works, Ikareta Baby is especially popular, featuring a reggae-driven, languid vocal line.

While you do need to feel the groove, the actual vocal range is very narrow, so for someone with a decent sense of rhythm, it can be considered a very easy song.

For men in their 40s who are looking for recent hit songs that are easy to sing, I recommend Yuuri’s Kakurenbo.

Yuuri originally made his major debut as the frontman of a rock band, but after the group disbanded, his street performances drew attention, and he re-debuted in 2020 as a singer-songwriter.

While he’s especially popular with Gen Z, his novel-like lyrics and carefully woven melodies resonate deeply even with listeners in their 40s.

Kakurenbo is one of his signature songs, and among Yuuri’s tracks it’s arranged in a relatively lower key.

Although the chorus does reach slightly higher notes, the overall range is narrower, making it easy to sing.

The parts sung with power carry a captivating nuance that reflects his rock background, so if you enjoy ballads, definitely give it a try.

Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

This rock tune celebrating the joy of pure love is a fan favorite that showcases Ulfuls’ musicality to the fullest.

Its lyrics, which candidly express gratitude to a loved one, resonate deeply, and together with its bright, catchy melody, the song lifts listeners’ spirits.

Released in February 1996, it was included on the album “Banzai” and also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Goddess of Victory.” Moreover, it won the Excellence Award at the 38th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect track for getting pumped up at karaoke with friends or for reminiscing about special memories with someone important.
