[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit Female Vocal Ranges (71–80)

ETERNAL WIND ~A Smile in the Shining Wind~Moriguchi Hiroko

Hiroko Moriguchi’s song “ETERNAL WIND ~Hohoemi wa Hikaru Kaze no Naka~,” released as the ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam F91.

Since Gundam is typically aimed at a male audience, I don’t think many people were familiar with this song in real time, but it’s very easy to sing.

The piece sits in the mid to mid-range and maintains a slow tempo throughout.

Although it’s slow, it surprisingly doesn’t include many long sustained notes, so even women in their 40s—when the voice can start to show signs of decline for some—should be able to sing it without issue.

Swaying Feelings (What a beautiful memory 2007)

This is ZARD’s eighth single overall, released on May 19, 1993.

It came out during the 1990s when million-selling hits were common and J-pop was at its peak, and it’s said to be ZARD’s second best-selling single of all time.

So as of 2021, many women in their 40s may find this song familiar.

The 1990s were also a time when major labels placed great importance on how likely a song was to be chosen at karaoke.

As a result, many hits from that era are easy to sing—even for people who aren’t confident singers or don’t usually sing much—so they’re highly recommended for anyone who often struggles to pick karaoke songs.

In particular, this ZARD track has a very catchy and easy-to-remember chorus melody, making it enjoyable for anyone.

Be sure to sing it and have fun.

Singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara has produced many long-running hits.

Although we no longer see him on television due to his scandal, the masterpieces he left behind are still loved by many listeners.

Among his works, the one I particularly recommend is Mou Koi Nante Shinai (“I Won’t Fall in Love Again”).

While the end of the chorus is slightly challenging, it’s not so high that you need to use falsetto, and both the A and B sections are easy to sing, so I think it’s suitable even for women in their 40s.

Kyoko Koizumi’s classic song “Yasashii Ame” (“Gentle Rain”).

Released in 1994, it gained popularity for its sentimental lyrics and sweet melody.

It’s crafted like a quintessential 1990s ballad, kept at a slow tempo throughout.

While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, the high notes appear only briefly, so even those who struggle with higher registers can sing it comfortably.

There aren’t many long sustained notes either, which is nice because it still sounds polished even if you can’t do vibrato.

The roseYuka

“The rose,” a song by Yuka released in October 2025.

Centered on a distinctly feminine yet powerful theme that highlights beauty that protects and beauty that perseveres, this work leaves a strong impression.

While the serious, subdued melody suits its introspective theme perfectly, it also incorporates many elements reminiscent of Western pop.

That said, there are no advanced techniques like runs or shouts; the only challenging parts are the mid-range falls and falsetto.

Since the song doesn’t require a particularly wide vocal range, those who struggle with falsetto may find it easier to sing by lowering the key.

SWEET MEMORIESMatsuda Seiko

Seiko Matsuda is an idol who represents the 1980s—one of Japan’s most iconic idols.

She has left behind numerous classic songs, and among them I especially recommend “SWEET MEMORIES.” It’s one of her signature ballads.

Although the long note at the end of the chorus is a bit high, the song basically has a narrow vocal range.

It might not suit those who struggle with the English parts, but if that’s not an issue, it’s a song that can fit any type of voice.

Superfly has outstanding vocal and expressive ability.

That might make you think her songs are easy to sing, right? This song is included on her second album, released in 2009.

It’s a gentle love song written for a friend who was getting married.

With its calm, relaxed melody, I think it’s one of the easier Superfly songs to sing.
