[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Suit the Female Vocal Range (141–150)

Riding on the back of a silver dragonNakajima Miyuki

Miyuki Nakajima’s famous song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For many women in their 40s, it may be remembered as the theme song of the drama Dr.

Coto.

Although the song is known for its passionate delivery, its vocal range is surprisingly narrow, so even women who struggle with high notes can sing it without difficulty.

The vocal line itself is easy, but since the song features fairly strong dynamics, be careful not to start off singing with too much volume.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.

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.

Kahimi Karie is a female singer whose music, centered on genres like neo-lounge and Shibuya-kei, gained popularity in certain circles.

If you were a fashionable Shibuya-kei gal in your early 40s at the time, there’s a good chance you know her.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Humming ga Kikoeru (“I Can Hear Humming”).

It’s a very stylish work with great taste, but the vocal lines are simple and mostly sung in a whisper.

The range is narrow as well, so as long as you adjust to a suitable key, anyone can sing it easily.

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.

White LoveSPEED

SPEED / White Love -Music Video-
White LoveSPEED

This is the fifth single by SPEED, a four-member female idol-style dance and vocal group, which was used as the commercial song for Shiseido’s “T’Issera Angel Drop.” Having achieved double million sales, it’s known as SPEED’s biggest hit.

With its catchy melody and dance, it’s a song that many women in their 40s—the generation that grew up with it—can really enjoy at karaoke.

The melody itself is simple, but because of the twin vocals and the wide pitch range, it might be challenging to sing solo.

If possible, team up with a friend whose comfortable range differs from yours, set the key to suit each of you, and give it a try—it’s a very singable song that way.

Go ahead and challenge yourself!

KISSPurinsesu Purinsesu

For women in their late 40s, Princess Princess is probably etched as a page of their youth.

They’ve left us with many classic songs, starting with “M,” but the one I especially recommend is “KISS.” It’s a work that’s quintessentially Princess Princess, yet surprisingly it doesn’t require a wide vocal range, and the melody stays in a singable mid-tempo line throughout.

It’s incredibly catchy, so definitely try singing it at karaoke!
