[Women in Their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit the Female Vocal Range (21–30)
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.
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.
[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Suit the Female Vocal Range (31–40)
Counting YouBoA & Tohoshinki
A song released exclusively for digital distribution on October 20, 2025, it’s a grand ballad that portrays a bittersweet, mature love.
It’s a memorable piece that will resonate with empathy and depth when sung by women in their 40s at karaoke.
BoA’s transparent vocals intertwine exquisitely with TVXQ’s warm, embracing voices, and the three-part harmony matches beautifully.
With a relatively narrow vocal range and a relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing without pressure—highly recommended.
Focus on using steady breath support and singing each phrase carefully and deliberately.
Don’t give upZARD
This is the sixth single by ZARD, a representative Being-label artist that dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s, centered around Izumi Sakai, who sadly passed away suddenly in 2007.
The song was used as the ending theme for the first season of the TV drama “Reiko Shiratori de Gozaimasu!” and remains a go-to motivational anthem that you still hear in many contexts today.
While the driving tempo and the intricate melody that appears at the start of the chorus can make it feel challenging, its catchiness makes it easy to remember and sing.
Women in their 40s who likely listened to it during their school days might find themselves reliving their youth when singing it at karaoke.
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.
The roseYuka
“The rose,” a song by Yuka released in October 2025.
Centered on a distinctly feminine yet powerful theme that highlights beauty that protects and beauty that perseveres, this work leaves a strong impression.
While the serious, subdued melody suits its introspective theme perfectly, it also incorporates many elements reminiscent of Western pop.
That said, there are no advanced techniques like runs or shouts; the only challenging parts are the mid-range falls and falsetto.
Since the song doesn’t require a particularly wide vocal range, those who struggle with falsetto may find it easier to sing by lowering the key.
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
Her debut song Morai Naki became an unexpected hit, and this is the fifth single by Yo Hitoto, a singer who is active not only in music but also as an actress.
The song was born in response to the September 11 attacks that shocked the world in 2001, and it is one of Yo Hitoto’s signature songs, also known as the most sung song of the Heisei era in karaoke.
With its relaxed tempo, sparse instrumentation, and lack of sudden leaps in pitch, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
Because of the meaning of its lyrics, it’s a masterpiece that we hope will continue to be sung not only by women in their 40s—the artist’s own generation—but by people of all ages.
