For women in their 40s, Studio Ghibli’s “Kiki’s Delivery Service” is probably right on the mark for their generation.

“Rouge no Dengon” is a famous song by Yumi Matsutoya, and it was chosen as the theme song for Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Since it was released in the 1970s, the piece as a whole has a bright, nostalgic melody.

Because it’s an older song, it can be said to be fairly easy to sing.

However, the vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 F# to high D#, and the pitch goes up and down a lot in the chorus, so you need to thoroughly learn the vocal line to avoid going off pitch.

Misato Watanabe’s fourth single, released in January 1986, is her biggest hit.

Tetsuya Komuro, who composed the song, had already debuted as part of TM NETWORK at the time but was still relatively unknown, and this track helped establish his reputation as a composer.

The song has been used many times in commercials, so many women in their 40s—even those not particularly interested in music—will likely find the melody familiar.

Its vocal range isn’t too wide and it’s very easy to sing, so I hope even those who aren’t confident singers will give it a try with ease!

Kaela Kimura’s “Kimi no Kasa,” released for streaming on October 29, 2025, is the theme song for the film “Sumikkogurashi: The Sky Kingdom and the Two Kogurashi.” Listening to the track, you can tell it’s structured in a way that makes the build-up easy to grasp, and you can sing it solidly step by step in the order of verse A → verse B → chorus.

The chorus does include some high notes, but there’s no need to belt them out.

It’s perfectly fine to use falsetto for the high notes to evoke the gentle world of Sumikkogurashi.

Also, while the chorus may feel high, if you think you’re tone-deaf, you’ll likely find the higher notes actually easier to produce—so sing out with confidence!

A midsummer passing showerUtada Hikaru

After a period of hiatus from music, Hikaru Utada returned with this first track, “Manatsu no Tooriame” (Mid-Summer Showers).

This song carries a sorrowful image and is said to be a tribute to her late mother.

Recommended to be sung slowly and tenderly at a low tempo, it features steady piano accompaniment that makes it easy to keep the rhythm.

The absence of abrupt pitch changes also contributes to its ease of singing.

Makoto Kawamoto, known as a pioneer among guitar-playing female singers, has left us with many great songs.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for women in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is “Ai no Sainō” (The Talent for Love).

Since singer-songwriter Yasuyuki Okamura composed it, the track leans a bit toward groove, but the vocal range is narrow, so the overall difficulty is fairly low.

If you lock into the rhythm, you can likely aim for a high score at karaoke.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Included on Ayaka’s fifth album “30 y/o,” released in November 2018.

When it comes to Ayaka’s songs, many people who aren’t confident in their singing might feel they’re a bit challenging.

However, starting with “Aikotoba,” many of her tracks have relatively straightforward melodies, so I encourage you to give them a try without feeling intimidated.

As long as you master the use of falsetto in the chorus, this one should be relatively easy to sing.

Be sure to study and memorize the melody thoroughly before you sing.

Cat’s EyeAnri

Anri’s 13th single, released in August 1983.

It was produced as the first opening theme for the popular anime series “Cat’s Eye.” If you’re in your 40s as of 2020, many of you probably loved this anime, right? With an easy-to-grasp chorus, a melody that doesn’t require a wide vocal range throughout, and lyrics that effectively incorporate the anime’s title, this song is packed with elements that make it easy for anyone to sing.

Even if you’re not confident in your singing and don’t often have chances to sing, I hope you’ll enjoy performing it along with fun memories.

The trick to making it sound good is to relax and sing it lightly overall!
