[For Women in Their 40s] Songs That Score High in Karaoke [2026] (21–30)
The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto
Makoto Kawamoto, known as a pioneer among guitar-playing female singers, has left us with many great songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for women in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is “Ai no Sainō” (The Talent for Love).
Since singer-songwriter Yasuyuki Okamura composed it, the track leans a bit toward groove, but the vocal range is narrow, so the overall difficulty is fairly low.
If you lock into the rhythm, you can likely aim for a high score at karaoke.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE
One of the most popular musical units among women in their 40s is DREAMS COME TRUE.
Although they’ve produced many classic songs, they’re also known for having many high-difficulty tracks, which might make it hard to add them to your repertoire.
That’s why we recommend “LAT, 43˚ N — Forty-three Degrees North Latitude.” For a DCT song, the vocal range is quite narrow, and there aren’t any complex vocal lines.
There are relatively few breathing points, so just be mindful of that when you sing.

Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu
Pocket Biscuits is a musical unit that originated from the 1990s hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.
Unusually for a project-born unit, they were active for five years, and at their peak even headlined a solo concert at the Budokan.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a powerful, upbeat melody, but the vocal line itself is simple and repeats similar phrases.
On top of that, the range is relatively narrow, so a woman in her 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
Angel’s RestHisamatsu Fumina
Fumina Hisamatsu is a female singer who gained popularity for her musical style that blends glam rock and soft rock into J-pop.
She has a slightly low, full-bodied voice, and her hallmark is a husky, powerhouse vocal style reminiscent of male rock singers.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Tenshi no Kyūsoku (Angel’s Rest).
If you’re a rock fan in your late 40s, you might have listened to it back in the day.
While the song is notable for its strong, driving melody, it sits mainly in the low-to-mid range and has a relatively narrow vocal range, making it a piece that suits many different voice types.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Study SongMoritaka Chisato
Actress Chisato Moritaka, who gained popularity from the 1980s to the 1990s.
She has left behind many classic songs as a singer as well, but among them, the one I especially recommend to women in their 40s is Study Song.
As the title suggests, it’s literally a song that encourages studying, and for women in their 40s who were students back then, it may be particularly memorable.
Since this piece isn’t a song performed by a professional singer, the vocal line is calm and relatively even, without many ups and downs.
The vocal range is also quite narrow, so it should be easy enough to sing even at a third-round after-party.
A flower blooming in joyACO
ACO is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her trip-hop-centered musical style.
Many women in their 40s may have discovered her through her guest appearance on Dragon Ash’s classic track “Grateful Days.” Among ACO’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yorokobi ni Saku Hana” (“A Flower Blooming in Joy”).
While the vocals are sentimental, the melody line is unexpectedly even and subdued, with a fairly narrow range, making it easy to sing regardless of your vocal timbre.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Love me sinfullyChara
Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates elements of Black music.
Many women in their 40s still listen to her songs from time to time, don’t they? Among Chara’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Tsumi Fukaku Aishiteyo” (“Love Me Sinfully”).
While the low range stands out a bit, the vocals stay within the low to mid range, so the overall range isn’t very wide.
And although it draws on soul music, it doesn’t use advanced techniques like vocal runs, making it easy to sing naturally even for those not accustomed to singing Western-style music.
