This is the debut single by Mayo Okamoto, a singer-songwriter who epitomized the 1990s.

The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Second Chance,” and although it was her debut, it’s also known as one of her signature tracks.

With lyrics that evoke vivid scenes and an uplifting melody, it likely encouraged many women in their 40s who listened to it in real time.

While it features a driving, fast-paced beat, it doesn’t have tricky elements like a sudden jump in pitch in the chorus, making it an easy karaoke choice even for those who aren’t confident singers.

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.

Do As Infinity is a male-female rock duo that was active around 2000.

For women in their early 40s, you could say they’re the perfect band.

Although they’re labeled a rock band, most of their songs are J-pop, and Deep Forest is especially easy to sing among them.

Wrapped in a serious melody, this song features a slightly higher range and a simple vocal line.

That said, “higher” doesn’t mean it requires falsetto.

It just leans toward the upper midrange, so women with low to average voices should be able to sing it without any trouble.

There are also many spots where the long tones are cut off cleanly without vibrato, which makes it easier to sing in that respect as well.

Spitz, a band that’s hugely popular in Japan.

Their appeal lies in their catchy sound that strikes a chord with everyone.

When it comes to Spitz’s iconic songs, many people probably think of Cherry, right? A lot of people feel this song has a wide vocal range.

It’s true the range isn’t narrow, but when you try singing it, it’s surprisingly easy.

Especially for women, even in their 40s, it should be no problem to hit the notes.

The melody is simple too, so definitely give it a listen.

Chisato Moritaka was an idol who was hugely active from the late 1980s through the 1990s.

While she was a classic pure-hearted idol, she’s also known for having many songs that stir the emotions.

Among her works, the song I especially recommend for women in their 40s who aren’t confident about singing is “Ame” (Rain).

It’s a quintessential J-pop ballad with an extremely singable vocal line.

There are virtually no long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control should be able to sing it without difficulty.

As you enter your 40s, you may find that your voice doesn’t come out the way it did when you were younger.

Because of that, you might only be able to sing songs that fit your current range.

Among those people, many probably want to sing music from their own generation.

For anyone like that, I recommend “Dare yori Suki na no ni” performed by Toko Furuuchi.

It’s a love song that was a big hit in the late 1990s.

The song has a relatively narrow vocal range, making it easier to sing even if your voice doesn’t project like it used to.

On top of that, it incorporates elements of Black music, letting you deliver it in a stylish way.

This was Akina Nakamori’s debut single, released in May 1982.

Although Nakamori is known for her relatively low, resonant voice, you can enjoy a very fresh and cute vocal tone on this debut track.

Considering the release period, the song strongly reflects Showa-era kayōkyoku and the then-trendy New Music influences.

The vocal melody is very easy to remember and sing.

Compared to modern songs, the vocal range used isn’t particularly wide, so even women who aren’t confident in their singing should find it manageable.
