[Women in Their 40s] Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, You Can Sing! Karaoke Songs That Fit a Woman’s Vocal Range

As you enter your 40s, not only does age-related decline set in, but the cumulative effects of lifestyle habits like drinking and smoking can also make it harder to produce your voice.

If you feel you’re tone-deaf, you may be even more sensitive to these changes.

This time, we’ve selected karaoke songs that are easy to sing for women in their 40s who struggle with being tone-deaf!

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 Suit the Female Vocal Range (81–90)

LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

Dreams Come Ture/LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜
LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

One of the most popular musical units among women in their 40s is DREAMS COME TRUE.

Although they’ve produced many classic songs, they’re also known for having many high-difficulty tracks, which might make it hard to add them to your repertoire.

That’s why we recommend “LAT, 43˚ N — Forty-three Degrees North Latitude.” For a DCT song, the vocal range is quite narrow, and there aren’t any complex vocal lines.

There are relatively few breathing points, so just be mindful of that when you sing.

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.

“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!

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.

A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own life by will.

Beginning with memories of gazing up at the night sky, it powerfully speaks of a resolve for the future while looking back on the path taken.

Her pure, delicate vocals carry a touch of sorrow yet give you the courage to face forward—an outstanding track.

Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astrometry.” Created by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.

With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s a song best sung at an easy pace, engraving precious memories and resolve in your heart.

DREAMS COME TRUE – Ring the Bell
Ring the bell!DREAMS COME TRUE

This is DREAMS COME TRUE’s (hereafter, DCT) 50th single, released on July 10, 2013.

Since it was also used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Emergency Room 24 Hours” (Season 5), many of you may have heard it there.

DCT’s vocalist Miwa Yoshida is widely praised for her vocal ability, so some of you might wonder, “Can someone like me, who isn’t good at singing, really sing this?” However, the vocal melody doesn’t cover a particularly wide range and is relatively even, making it quite approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

The tempo is a bit on the heavy side, so be careful not to rush ahead when you sing.

“Anata ni Aitakute” is Seiko Matsuda’s 38th single, released in April 1996.

When women who aren’t confident singers choose songs for karaoke, tracks released by former idols after they’ve reached a certain age—not just this one—are often great picks.

This song, too, has a memorable, easy-to-remember melody and a singable medium-slow tempo, making it approachable for those who aren’t strong singers.

As long as you don’t choose the wrong key, you should be fine—so definitely give it a try!
