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

MetamorphosisKudō Shizuka

Shizuka Kudo / Metamorphose [Official Video]

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.

Its beautiful melody and crystal-clear vocals offer deep comfort to those facing loneliness or anxiety, making it a moving piece.

Only Looking at You (2019 Remastered)

Maki Ohguro, an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.

She began playing in bands during high school and made her debut in 1992.

Since then, she has enlivened the music scene with songs rooted in pop while incorporating a wide range of genres such as rock and R&B.

Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she received the Excellent Work Award at the Japan Record Awards and was named one of the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.

After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be highly active today.

Her worldview—expressed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate with the heart—is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the vigor and warmth that music can offer.

That's Important (30th Anniversary)

DaijiMAN Brothers Band, a group that gained popularity for their catchy musicality.

They’re known as a so-called one-hit wonder, but the fact that they left behind even a single classic like “Sore ga Daiji” is remarkable.

The song is a straightforward cheer anthem, and its melody matches the lyrics perfectly—simple and direct, without relying on intricate techniques.

That’s why even women in their 40s who may find it harder to project their voices should be able to sing it without any trouble.

It’s also a song of its generation, so it should really liven up the room at karaoke!

Blue WaterMorikawa Miho

Miho Morikawa is an artist who gained popularity for her cool vocal timbre and stable vocal performance—so much so that it’s hard to believe she started as an idol.

Her signature song “Blue Water” is famous as the theme song for the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and has attracted a great deal of popularity.

Although it’s a powerful piece, the vocal range is actually narrow, and the melody line has relatively few ups and downs, making it easier to sing than it sounds.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Silent EveKarashima Midori

Silent Eve / Midori Karashima

Midori Karashima, a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the 1990s, is known for her refined, feminine vocal timbre.

When it comes to her work, many people probably think of Silent Eve.

Although this song is often perceived as high-pitched, its vocal range isn’t actually that wide.

If you adjust it to your own key and sing comfortably, you’ll rarely feel it’s too high.

If you like beautiful songs, be sure to give this one a try.

Study SongMoritaka Chisato

Chisato Moritaka 'Study Song' (Music Video)

Actress Chisato Moritaka, who gained popularity from the 1980s to the 1990s.

She has left behind many classic songs as a singer as well, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s is Study Song.

As the title suggests, it’s literally a song that encourages studying, and for women in their 40s who were students back then, it may be particularly memorable.

Since this piece isn’t a song performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is calm and relatively even, without many ups and downs.

The vocal range is also quite narrow, so it should be easy enough to sing even at a third-round after-party.
