As a pioneer of self-branding, idol Kyoko Koizumi stands out.

Her song “Nantettatte Idol” is her 17th single, and thanks to her self-branding it gained nationwide popularity.

It’s a very poppy, catchy piece.

The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1 G# to hi F, but most women should be able to sing it without issue.

However, the average pitch is high and there are many rapid-fire phrases, so take care there.

Since it’s a bright, upbeat track, it’s better to focus on timing at the start of phrases and on dynamics rather than strict pitch accuracy.

This is the debut single by singer-songwriter Mayo Okamoto—also active as a pianist under the name “mayo” and known for writing songs for many other artists in addition to her own.

Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Second Chance,” it became a million seller despite being her very first release.

Its uplifting message and catchy pop melody blow away feelings of hardship, leaving both the singer and the listener feeling refreshed.

With lyrics that particularly resonate with women in their 40s, it’s a pop tune whose exhilarating sense of speed feels wonderfully satisfying.

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.

“Touch” is a popular karaoke song that people of all generations can enjoy.

For those in their 40s who watched the anime in their teens, it’s truly a song of their generation.

The tempo is comfortable and easy to sing, and the rhythm makes it easy for listeners to get into it, so it’s perfect for livening up the atmosphere.

It also goes over well at karaoke with older supervisors.

Adding a few simple moves to match “Touch” can boost the energy even more.

The big showcase is the sustained note at the end of the chorus, so be sure to belt it out.

The song “Dancing Hero,” which became a hot topic in 2017 when the Tomioka High School dance team performed their ‘Bubble Era Dance,’ was originally released by Yoko Oginome in 1985.

Since 2017, the boom has reignited, and it’s a track widely known across generations, so it’s a sure bet.

You might feel that disco songs are difficult, but the tempo isn’t particularly fast, so you can sing it comfortably.

Bounce your body to the rhythm and sing it with lively energy!

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.

tearsfayray

This is the seventh single by singer-songwriter Fayray—currently also active under the name Mina Ohashi as a member of the music unit The Present.

The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Friends,” and its delicate ensemble featuring piano and acoustic guitar feels so pleasant.

With its relaxed tempo and not-too-high key, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a perfect pick for women in their 40s and sure to be a hit when singing with friends of the same generation.
