Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (61–70)
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing today is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used as the theme for many TV shows and in commercials, and it has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have probably heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known piece, both the melody and the lyrics are highly memorable, and it feels like something you can enjoy singing along to casually.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.
Love so sweetarashi
Arashi’s “Love so sweet” gently permeates the heart with lyrics filled with sweet yet bittersweet feelings of love.
The words, which convey both the strength and fragility of pure love, capture many listeners and won’t let go.
Released in February 2007 and used as the theme song for the drama “Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns),” the track became a major hit.
Its lyrics about aching love are easy to relate to, and the relaxed melody makes it easy to sing—making it a perfect choice for women in their 40s who want to sing a heartbreak song or try an Arashi number.
At karaoke, singing it with emotion might help clear away those lingering, cloudy feelings.
To the futureKiroro
Kiroro’s classic song “Mirai e” (“To the Future”) was written by Chiharu Tamashiro when she was in her third year of junior high school, and its lyrics carry a warm message about moving toward the future and growing.
The gentle, tender harmonies woven by the two artists from Okinawa soothe the listener’s heart and inspire hope for tomorrow.
For those in their forties, it’s also recommended to sing this song while reminiscing about your younger days and holding love for someone dear in your heart.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s also exceptionally easy to sing.
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Noriko Sakai, affectionately known as Nori-P, has also been active as a singer and has left behind several classic songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for women in their 40s as an easy song to sing is Aoi Usagi (Blue Rabbit).
Incorporating elements of kayōkyoku, it features a mellow, easy-to-sing Japanese melody throughout.
In addition, there are no high-pitched parts, so women in their 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
If you like mature melodies, be sure to give this song a try.
God of RomanceHirose Kōmi
Kicking the energy up from the intro, this is Kohmi Hirose’s 1993 release “Romance no Kamisama.” It’s a well-known winter classic not just among women in their 40s! The catchy melody makes it easy to sing without putting too much pressure on yourself.
The verse is comfortable even for those with a lower chest voice, but the key rises in the chorus, so it might be a good idea to pass the mic to someone who’s good with high notes.
It’s also a great song to get everyone involved—ask for call-and-response during the chorus and have fun together!
ButterflyKōda Kumi
Among Kumi Koda’s songs, “Butterfly” stands out as an especially passionate work.
It fully showcases her signature ‘sexy-cool’ style, featuring a distinctive melody that blends Latin flavors and 2-step with a touch of kayōkyoku.
The range spans mid1 D# to hi C#, leaning lower overall, but the pitch movement isn’t excessively dramatic.
That said, it does incorporate elements like vibrato, hiccups, and edgy falls, so a certain level of finesse and technical nuance is required.
planetariumOtsuka Ai
Ai Otsuka’s songs, woven from deep sorrow and vivid memories, beautifully transmute the scars of heartbreak.
The aching feelings of love and sense of loss are reflected in lyrics that sparkle like stars in the night sky, sure to strike a powerful chord with listeners.
Released in September 2005, the work drew major attention, including being selected as an image song for the drama “Boys Over Flowers.” While standing by the pain of a broken heart, this track also gives you the courage to look forward and take your next steps.
Please take your time and listen closely to the voice and words that will seep into your heart.
You’ll surely feel the strength to take a new step forward.
