[Women in Their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit the Female Vocal Range (21–30)
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single, released in July 1993.
The song also became a hit as the theme for the sequel to the 1992 smash-hit drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which drew attention for the character “Fuyuhiko-san,” titled “Dare ni mo Ienai.” As of 2019, many people in their 40s likely tuned in every week, hearts pounding at the unfolding plot.
Now, if you’re planning to sing this song at karaoke, there’s nothing to worry about! The vocal range used in the melody isn’t very wide—in fact, compared to recent songs, it’s constructed within a very narrow range—and there aren’t any particularly difficult parts in the melodic development.
You could say it’s a simple song for better or worse, so fully conveying the song’s worldview might be a bit challenging, but there’s no need to fuss over details.
As the theme song of a nostalgic drama, just have fun singing it.
I’m proudKahara Tomomi
It was Tomomi Kahara’s 3rd single, released in March 1996.
If you’re a Japanese woman in your 50s, you’ve probably heard this massive ’90s J-pop hit produced by Tetsuya Komuro at least once! In fact, it reportedly became a million-seller in just six weeks after its release.
The chorus features quite a few high notes, so if you’re not comfortable singing in a high register, you might hesitate to try it at karaoke.
However, the melody itself is very catchy, easy to remember, and singable, so I encourage you to give it a try.
If you force your voice too much on the high parts, it can put a lot of strain on your throat, so try to relax your throat as much as possible and use some falsetto to sing without overdoing it.
Of course, changing the key is totally fine too!
Watarase BridgeMoritaka Chisato
This is the 17th single by singer-songwriter Chisato Moritaka.
It was used as the theme song for the travel program “Ii Tabi Yume Kibun,” and is also known as the first single in which Moritaka, who is also recognized as a multi-instrumentalist, performed the instruments herself.
The lyrics tell a story of remembering a former lover, and they pair perfectly with Moritaka’s distinctive singing voice—many listeners may have felt a twinge of heartache hearing this song.
Its simple melody preserves the song’s atmosphere and makes it easy to sing at karaoke—an enduring classic.
Aino Katachi feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)MISIA
The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.
HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.
This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.
Keep these two points in mind when singing.
Love StoryAmuro Namie
The diva of the Heisei era! This is Namie Amuro’s 38th single under her solo name, released in December 2011.
As of 2019, for women in their 40s, Amuro-chan was truly in real time—almost a symbol of their generation, wasn’t she? Many of you were probably Amurers back in the day, too.
Now, this song is a ballad by Amuro-chan, and it might seem a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers.
Still, there are surely many who secretly want to try singing it.
Indeed, when you listen to her performance, you can feel a touch of influence from Black music, and there are some vocal phrases that require advanced technique.
But try picking out the melody—using a piano app on your smartphone or anything else—and when you come across parts you find “difficult,” simplify or omit them and give it a try.
To the futureKiroro
Released in June 1998 as Kiroro’s second single.
Since it became a staple song for graduation ceremonies, many people probably picture those scenes when they hear it.
The track came out toward the end of the 1990s, a period often called the J-pop bubble when million-sellers were coming out one after another.
While other artists were making their melodies and chord progressions increasingly complex to break new ground, Kiroro arrived with a simplicity in melody, chords, and arrangement that felt almost like an antithesis to that trend—and it was wonderfully refreshing.
Built on an extremely familiar, easy-to-hum melody, this song is highly recommended even for those who aren’t confident singers.
I’m sorry…Takahashi Mariko
Ms.
Mariko Takahashi is a female singer who has remained at the forefront of the scene for many years.
Although she was active from the 1970s through the 1990s, her song “Gomen ne…” can be considered one that represents her work in the ’90s.
The piece features a vocal line close to kayōkyoku, making it generally easier to stay on pitch.
Also, as you’ll notice when you try singing it, there are no sustained notes in the mid-to-high range or above, so it’s a song that’s easy to sing even for those who find it difficult to hold high notes for long.
