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 (91–100)

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.

CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie

“CAN YOU CELEBRATE?” is Namie Amuro’s ninth single under her solo name, released in February 1997.

It’s the biggest hit among her singles and has also become a classic wedding song.

For women in their 40s as of 2020, many likely experienced Amuro’s peak years in real time.

The songwriter, Tetsuya Komuro, probably crafted the piece with strong awareness of making it a karaoke-friendly hit; it’s a song that’s very easy to remember and sing.

That very ‘singability’ is likely one reason it became a staple at weddings.

Shizuka Kudo’s classic song “Metamorphose.” Released in the 1990s, it’s characterized by a mischievous yet mature vibe that idols of that era rarely had.

It’s also an easy song to sing.

The main reasons are its limited vocal range and the lack of long sustained notes.

Surprisingly, the range is on the narrow side, so even those who can’t hit high notes can sing it without trouble.

Plus, since there are no long tones, it’s recommended for anyone who struggles with breath control.

Give it a try.

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.

Goodbye, my beloved.Hana*Hana

Hana*Hana “Goodbye, My Beloved”
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana*Hana

This is the eighth single by Hana*Hana, a female duo formed by classmates majoring in Vocal and Jazz Piano at Koyo Conservatory of Music.

The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Oyaji.” With its relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who find it difficult to keep rhythm in karaoke.

The overall pitch range isn’t very wide, making it accessible, but there are spots where the melody leaps suddenly to higher notes, so care is needed to avoid going off pitch.

It’s a well-known song that many women in their 40s—its core generation—will likely have heard at least once, making it a recommended ballad to add to your karaoke repertoire.

I want to be happy.Uchida Yuki

Yuki Uchida has been active as an actress for many years.

Younger people might not know this, but for many women in their 40s, she also leaves a strong impression as a musical artist.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase ni Naritai” (“I Want to Be Happy”).

While the melody has some noticeable rises and falls, the overall tempo is relaxed, so you should be able to follow the pitch without trouble.

The vocal range is also narrow, making it a good choice to sing even when your voice is starting to tire at a second party.

Morning Musume, the group that energized the early-2000s idol boom, is often surprisingly underestimated, but their songs are musically quite fascinating and incorporate underground influences from the time.

Among them, “LOVE Machine” is a remarkable work that distills funk and disco into techno and pop.

While rooted in Black music, the vocal lines retain a J-pop-style catchiness and are sung within a narrow range throughout.

Even women with lower voices should be able to sing it without issue.
