We also touch on specific tips, so if you want to build your vocal technique and overcome tone-deafness, don’t miss this!

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

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!

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.

LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – LOVE LOVE LOVE (from THE DREAM QUEST TOUR 2017 Live Ver.)
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

LOVE LOVE LOVE, a famous song by DREAMS COME TRUE released in 1995.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The song’s vocal range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which is relatively narrow for a DCT track.

The tempo is very relaxed, and the melodic movement is gentle, so as long as you’ve memorized the vocal line well, you’re unlikely to go off pitch.

However, because the slow tempo leads to more long notes, it’s advisable to master diaphragmatic breathing to maintain stable vocal production.

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.

Ding DongZoo

ZOO was a music group that was hugely active in the 1990s.

In Japan, they helped popularize black contemporary music, gaining popularity with a sound that made what was then an uncommon genre catchy and accessible.

Among ZOO’s songs, one I especially recommend is “Ding Dong.” While the song has fairly pronounced dynamic nuances, they are primarily expressive rather than driven by volume, which stays relatively steady, so it’s not overly difficult.

The vocal range is also narrow, so if you lock into the rhythm and pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.

Swaying feelingsZARD

Swaying Feelings (What a beautiful memory 2007)
Swaying feelingsZARD

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.

“You’re My Only Shinin’ Star” is a song by Miho Nakayama, written and composed by Toshiki Kadomatsu, released in November 1999 as her 25th single.

It was also used as an insert song in the TBS drama Mama wa Idol, in which she starred.

The song is notable for its very smooth and beautiful melody, and since the vocal range it requires isn’t particularly wide, it should be enjoyable even for women who aren’t confident singers to choose as a karaoke number.

Kadomatsu later released a self-cover version as well, so you might want to check that out too!
