[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Fit the Female Vocal Range (41–50)

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.

Ado’s song “Himawari,” released in July 2025 as the theme for the TBS drama “18/40: Dreams and Love If We’re Together,” features a restrained approach compared to her usual high-tone vocals and powerful shouts.

That said, the vocal range spans from mid1 G# to hi D#, which is by no means narrow, and the melody has considerable leaps.

It’s best to thoroughly learn the vocal line beforehand before attempting it.

By the time you can sing this piece well, you should have overcome being tone-deaf.

Kiroro’s classic “Best Friend,” which gained nationwide popularity for its warm theme depicting friendship.

Released in 2001, the song features a relaxed rhythm and a very catchy melody.

In fact, its vocal range spans from mid1 G to hi C, making it very easy to sing for the average female voice, with gentle rises and falls in pitch.

The challenging part is likely the hi C, but it only appears six times total—twice in each chorus—so if you set your key with this section in mind, it should be easier to sing.

This was Takako Okamura’s fifth single, released in February 1987.

It’s a song with a very straightforward melody line and lyrics that leave a strong impression.

Compared to many modern songs that tend to be a bit more twisted, I think this one is very easy to sing even for people who aren’t confident singers.

The vocal range it uses isn’t very wide either, and combined with its bright tone, it’s surely a track that’s easy to sing and makes singing enjoyable even for those who struggle with it.

A track from Miki Imai’s 20th original album, “Sky,” released in June 2018.

It’s a very gentle, mellow ballad, sung quietly as if murmuring or whispering, so it may be one of the best choices for women in their 40s to sing.

It’s true that when you really pursue this kind of “soft singing,” it can be more difficult to master than songs that call for belting, but if you’re just enjoying it at your usual karaoke, there’s no need to worry that much.

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.

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.
