[Women in Their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit the Female Vocal Range (21–30)
fragileEvery Little Thing
The 17th single by Every Little Thing, known by the abbreviation ELT.
A signature song used as the theme for the dating reality show “Ainori,” it won the Excellence Award for Cable Music at the 34th Japan Cable Radio Awards and the Gold Award at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.
It may feel challenging due to the melodic leaps in the chorus, but the tempo is relaxed, so you’ll be fine if you sing calmly.
It’s a number I’d like women in their 40s—who likely heard it in real time, including on TV—to try singing at karaoke.
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.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE
Among women in their 40s, there are surely many who want to sing DREAMS COME TRUE! While many DCT songs feature repeated high notes, “Thank You.” stays relatively within the mid range.
The overall vocal range is E3–C#5.
It’s more rhythm-focused than high-note-focused.
With a tempo of 127, it’s neither too fast nor too slow, making it easy to sing.
When you sing it, try to keep a conversational, natural feel.
For the occasional high notes, be mindful of the accents—think of attacking each note one by one.
Clearly pronouncing the vowels will also make the high notes easier to hit! The key modulates upward in the latter half, but try not to overthink it and sing it comfortably.
rainbow-coloredayaka
This is Ayaka’s 13th single overall.
It was released digitally first in April 2014, followed by a CD release in June of the same year.
The song has a lightly bouncing, brisk rhythm, but the overall feel is very calm.
It’s the kind of piece that would suit women in their 40s—not just that they can sing it, but it might actually feel even more fitting for those around that age.
Ayaka is often seen as an authentic singer with a bit of a black music flavor, so some people might hesitate to try her songs.
However, this track has a very cute and simple melody, making it relatively approachable even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
As mentioned, the slightly bouncy rhythm is a signature of the song, so try to sing it with an overall cute vibe to keep it from feeling heavy.
Tears aren’t just for show.Nakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s 10th single overall, released in November 1984.
Lyrics and composition by Yosui Inoue.
Many people cite “not being able to hit high notes” as a reason they struggle with singing, but since this song was created for Nakamori—whose charm lies in her naturally lower voice—it doesn’t require extreme high notes.
That makes it an easy challenge even for those who aren’t good with high registers.
Reflecting the era in which it was released, the melody follows in the vein of Showa kayō and New Music, making it very easy to remember and sing.
It’s a great recommendation for people who feel they’re not good at singing!
This is my way of life.PUFFY
PUFFY is a charismatic duo whose unique visuals, fashion sense, and musicality earned high praise from many women across all aspects.
Their music is distinctive, and even now there really aren’t any duos or groups that follow in their footsteps.
Among PUFFY’s works, the one I especially recommend is “Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi” (“This Is the Way I Live”).
It doesn’t require a high vocal part, and even without vibrato it still sounds convincing, making it a very beginner-friendly song.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
This is the seventh single by Princess Princess, a band that became an iconic presence in the J-POP scene of the 1980s and 1990s and influenced countless other groups.
Known as one of the band’s signature songs—with another signature track, “M,” included as the B-side—it’s easy to see why this became their biggest hit, achieving million-selling status.
Its upbeat rhythm and catchy melody make it a joy to sing, and women in their 40s—the generation that grew up with it—will likely have a great time singing it with friends.
Although the tempo is fast, the melody is simple, so if you stay calm and focus on not drifting off the beat, you’ll be able to sing it well.
