[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit the Female Vocal Range (41–50)
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
This song was released in 1975 as Miyuki Nakajima’s second single, and since then many alternate versions have been made and numerous artists have covered it—a true classic.
Despite the weight of more than 40 years and the many deep meanings it seems to contain, I think it’s extremely difficult to sing this song the way Miyuki Nakajima herself would.
However, the composition itself—both the melody and the chord progression—is very simple, almost a textbook example of 1970s folk, so even those who aren’t very confident singers will likely find it relatively approachable.
For women in their 40s, each of you has surely passed through your own “era,” so if you sing while recalling the “times” you’ve lived through, I’m sure you’ll deliver a performance that truly resonates with listeners.
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing’s 8th single, released in February 1998.
It was ELT’s first ballad single and, to date, their best-selling million-seller.
Although the song is constructed in a rather intricate way, with multiple key changes throughout, the melody itself is very pop and accessible, making it quite easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
I’d recommend it as a karaoke pick even for people who say, “I don’t really get today’s music.”
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.
Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.
That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.
It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!
mysteryKomatsu Miho
For those who have just entered their 40s, I recommend Nazo, sung by Miho Komatsu.
This song was used as the opening theme for the anime Detective Conan, and it’s such a classic that anyone who watched the early seasons has likely heard it at least once.
Because it’s a theme song for a show aimed at children, the vocal lines are kept simple throughout.
Many people might feel it sounds a bit high, but the overall range is actually narrow, so even people in their 40s who struggle with pitch or high notes should be able to sing it without trouble.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
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.
rainMoritaka Chisato
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.
I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko
Kyoko Koizumi’s classic song “I’m Glad I Met You.” Although Kyoko Koizumi has solid vocal ability, she actually has a narrow vocal range, and most of her songs don’t feature long high notes.
Among her tracks, this one is especially recommended.
The key changes in the chorus, but just as the energy rises, the melody drops in pitch, making it a comfortable vocal line for women with lower voices or those who struggle with high notes.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
