[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit Female Vocal Ranges (71–80)
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.
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!
ShipwreckNakamori Akina
It won the Gold Prize at the 29th Japan Record Awards in 1987.
Akina Nakamori’s husky, whispery voice really resonates in this song, and it’s highly recommended for those who struggle with high notes! The overall range is fairly wide, from D3 to C#5, but the song shines more in expressiveness than in vocal power.
The melody in the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to let your voice become mumbly.
Try taking plenty of air through your mouth and letting your voice ride on your breath.
The structure builds up from the chorus onward, so sing each of the opening notes clearly and deliberately.
Keep your facial muscles lifted and try to avoid using your throat as much as possible—you should find it easier to sing that way!

Second LoveNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s third single, released in November 1982.
Speaking of releases from ’82, here in 2019 most people in their 40s were still in elementary school back then, right? I imagine many of you watched her perform on TV music shows like The Best Ten at the time.
Now, about Second Love: it strongly reflects the era in which it was made—Showa-era kayōkyoku with a slight new-music flavor.
It doesn’t have the kind of complex melodies or chord progressions you find in modern songs; it’s very straightforward and easy for anyone to sing.
Even people who don’t usually sing might be able to handle it in the original key.
That said, because Akina Nakamori’s songs have a distinctive allure in the lower register, when you sing this, be mindful to support your voice well so the low notes don’t get swallowed up in the karaoke mix.
Also, take care with clear pronunciation so the lyrics don’t come out mumbled.
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
This is the 20th single by singer Yoshimi Iwasaki, who has been studying business administration in the master’s program at J.F.
Oberlin University Graduate School since 2021.
It became a massive hit as the opening theme for the TV anime Touch, and those in their 40s—regardless of gender—likely remember it along with scenes from the show.
Because the tempo is fast and the melody features a sharp drop from high notes to low, it’s a good idea to check it once before performing it at karaoke.
Overall, the pitch range isn’t very wide, so it’s an anime song recommended even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto
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.
passwordayaka
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.
