[Women in their 40s] Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Songs That Suit the Female Vocal Range (131–140)

A flower blooming in joyACO

ACO is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her trip-hop-centered musical style.

Many women in their 40s may have discovered her through her guest appearance on Dragon Ash’s classic track “Grateful Days.” Among ACO’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yorokobi ni Saku Hana” (“A Flower Blooming in Joy”).

While the vocals are sentimental, the melody line is unexpectedly even and subdued, with a fairly narrow range, making it easy to sing regardless of your vocal timbre.

Be sure to give it a listen.

Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu

Pocket Biscuits is a musical unit that originated from the 1990s hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.

Unusually for a unit born from a TV project, they were active for five years, and at their peak they even held a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a strong, uplifting melody, but the vocal line itself is simple, repeating similar phrases.

In addition, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so women in their 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

For many women now in their 40s who spent their teens to early twenties in the mid-to-late 1990s, Every Little Thing holds a special place.

Back then, lots of people copied Kaori Mochida’s fashion and hairstyles, too.

ELT’s classic songs are still hugely popular at karaoke even in the Reiwa era, but if you’re aiming for a high score, the 1997 hit As When We First Met (Deatta Koro no You ni) is a great choice.

Its quintessential late-’90s Avex sound and melody make it very easy to sing, and since there are no tricky shifts, it’s less likely you’ll go off pitch.

The overall key is on the higher side, so if you have a lower voice, it’s a good idea to adjust the key to suit you before singing.

GAO – Sayonara [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
GoodbyeGAO

Artist GAO is known for his irresistibly handsome looks and deep, attractive “ikébo” voice that even puts many men to shame.

His masculine vocal tone, emanating from a face that could pass for a beautiful boy, captivated many women in the 1990s.

Among GAO’s songs, the one I particularly recommend as easy to sing is Sayonara.

You might think it has some high parts, but that’s only because of GAO’s vocal timbre; for an average woman in her 40s, it should actually be quite comfortable to sing.

eternityZARD

Among women in their early 40s, many probably like ZARD.

Of all ZARD’s songs, one I especially recommend as easy to sing is Eien (Eternal).

It’s a classic J-pop ballad with a catchy, quintessentially J-pop vocal line throughout.

While the song is centered around the mid-to-high range, the overall range isn’t wide, so even those who struggle with higher notes should be able to sing it without trouble.

Be sure to give it a listen.

Mariya Takeuchi’s new song “Shizukana Densetsu (Legend)” is built around acoustic guitar, with touches of folk and blues here and there.

That said, the vocal line is classic J‑pop.

There aren’t any particularly difficult parts, so even those who can’t hit high notes or aren’t confident in their singing can relax.

Although it’s a brand‑new track, it’s wrapped in a nostalgic melody, so women in their 40s should definitely give it a try.

CANDY GIRLhitomi

Although many people associate hitomi most strongly with her success in the 2000s, she also left behind several great songs in the ’90s.

Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “CANDY GIRL.” It’s a track drenched in that quintessentially ’90s, flashy synthesizer sound, yet the vocal line is surprisingly understated.

It may feel like it sits in the higher register, but the overall range isn’t wide, so as long as you find the right key, it should be quite singable.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
