[Women in their 40s] Even the tone-deaf can sing! Karaoke songs that fit the female vocal range (111–120)
Winter StoryOkamura Takako
After her work as part of Aming, Takako Okamura also thrived as a solo artist.
She has left behind several classic songs, but the one I especially recommend is Winter Story.
The vocal range in this piece isn’t wide, and the melody line has relatively gentle contours.
Because the range isn’t broad, you can lower the key and still project the low notes sufficiently, making it undeniably easy to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
[Women in Their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Suit the Female Vocal Range (121–130)
A Bouquet of Kisses in the RainImai Miki
Miki Imai’s classic “Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain.” The song was composed by singer-songwriter KAN and is characterized by a gentle, straightforward melody.
Because Miki Imai sings it, many people may feel it’s high, but in reality the range isn’t that wide, and there are no sudden high notes.
As long as you sing it in a key that suits you, you should be able to handle every part without any issues.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko
Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.
In that case, I recommend Fade Out.
This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.
You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.
The very long rests also make it easy to perform.
Green Que Sera SeraOka Midori
It’s a fun, upbeat Reiwa-era rhythm kayō masterpiece that makes any Japanese person want to clap along and start dancing! “Midori no Que Sera Sera” is a song released by Midori Oka in 2021, and as the title suggests, you can sing it comfortably with a carefree “que sera sera—whatever will be, will be” feeling.
The instantly catchy chorus sticks after one listen, and if everyone in your karaoke group sings it together, it’ll definitely liven up the room.
The signature enka vocal flourishes—like heavy kobushi and wide vibrato—are kept modest, and the more natural delivery makes it approachable even for those who feel unsure about singing traditional enka.
First and foremost, have fun and sing along to the cheerful rhythm!
5 seconds before I fall seriously in loveHirosue Ryōko
The actress Ryoko Hirosue’s classic song “Maji de Koi suru 5 Byō Mae.” Since this piece is sung by an actress rather than a singer, it’s notably easier compared to other songs I’ve introduced.
Its biggest charm is, above all, its bright, upbeat tone.
Given that kind of sound, combined with Hirosue’s naturally higher voice, you might assume it demands a high vocal range, but the song’s range isn’t actually very wide.
It also doesn’t require techniques like vibrato or long sustained notes, so even women in their 40s who aren’t confident singers should be able to sing it with ease.
paper craneOka Midori
Released in February 2019, “Kami no Tsuru” (Paper Crane) is a memorable single for Midori Oka, as it marked her first entry into the top 20 of the Oricon charts.
While the melody is bright, it carries a certain poignancy and wistfulness—a classic enka sound that resonates with the Japanese heart.
That said, the typical enka-style vocal ornaments like strong kobushi and intense vibrato are relatively restrained here.
If you focus on singing gently and sincerely, as Oka does, it’s quite approachable even for beginners to enka.
Interestingly, the lower notes can be more challenging than the high ones, so I recommend practicing with clear enunciation and working to apply solid vibrato on the low passages.
Lucky Man’s SongYashiro Aki
Aki Yashiro has left behind many classic songs, but among them, an unusually distinctive masterpiece that continues to be talked about is The Lucky Man Song.
This piece was released as the theme song for the popular anime Tottemo! Luckyman.
It’s fundamentally structured as a pop song, so it doesn’t have the difficulty of enka.
However, in the middle of the track there’s a section that pays homage to part of the famous song Funauta, which does require techniques like kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
That said, the kobushi and vocal lines aren’t particularly difficult, so if you’re accustomed to singing enka or kayōkyoku, you should be able to handle it without any trouble.
