Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who is also active as a musical theater composer.

Released in 2025, her song “Pledge” centers on the theme of accepting oneself as they are, and an emotional atmosphere permeates the entire piece.

The song features a lot of low-register passages and a relatively narrow vocal range overall.

While this means you need to sing it with emotional nuance, it is still, fundamentally, a song that’s easy to perform.

CRAZY GONNA CRAZYTRF

Even within the broad label of “people in their 40s,” the music you grew up with differs greatly depending on whether you’re in your early or late 40s.

That said, TRF can be considered an artist popular across the entire 40-something demographic.

Among their songs, CRAZY GONNA CRAZY is particularly easy to sing.

Because it’s primarily dance music, it can be hard to notice, but the song actually has a narrow vocal range and doesn’t feature complex melodic leaps.

As long as you adjust the key to suit your voice, even those who feel their voice doesn’t come out easily should be able to sing it without trouble.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.

Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.

At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!

For those in their early 40s, songs from the 1990s are likely more memorable than those from the late 1980s.

Among female singer-songwriters who made a big splash in the ’90s, one track by Cocco that I especially recommend is “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).

This piece features a rhythm with a bounce reminiscent of reggae, while the vocal line maintains an ennui-like quality.

The song has a relatively narrow vocal range and contains no phrases that require sudden jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing for people with any kind of voice.

Known by the nickname DoriKamu, DREAMS COME TRUE has long been at the forefront of the J-POP scene with melodious songs that, while showing influences from funk and soul, appeal to Japanese tastes.

Did you know that despite being a famous song almost everyone has heard at least once—even non-fans—it has never actually been an A-side single? Among DCT’s many challenging tracks, this one has a relatively simple melody, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

In particular, women in their 40s are the right generation for it, so it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser at karaoke regardless of singing ability.

Chisato Moritaka, who was active not only as a singer but also as an actress.

For those whose youth was in the late 1980s to the 1990s, she’s a singer everyone knows.

While she’s categorized as a singer, in reality she enjoyed idol-like popularity and released many cute songs.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Kibun Sōkai.

It’s a work that fully showcases her adorable vocals.

There are no high parts and the melody is simple, so it’s also recommended for people who aren’t confident in their singing.

Shizuka Kudo, an idol who symbolizes the 1990s.

She has many great songs, but for something especially easy to sing—and recommended for women in their 40s—check out Dokoku.

Combining cool style with catchiness, this track actually lowers the energy in the chorus, making it perfect for those without strong vocal power.

There’s a slightly higher section in the bridge (C-melo), but it doesn’t require a mix voice, so even those who struggle with high notes should find it easy to sing.
