Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (61–70)
Become the windtsuji ayano
Ayano Tsuji is a popular singer-songwriter who made her major debut in 1999 with a style that’s instantly recognizable: a gentle singing voice accompanied by ukulele.
Since the 2000s, she has maintained a unique position in the J-pop scene by releasing a number of heartwarming classics.
Tsuji’s music is comforting just to listen to, and one of her signature songs, Kaze ni Naru, which was used as the theme song for the Studio Ghibli film The Cat Returns, is widely known and a great pick for karaoke where people of all ages gather.
Its very straightforward melody makes it easy to sing, so it’s recommended both for aiming at a high karaoke score and for having fun singing together as a parent and child!
Song of LifeTakeuchi Mariya
This song was created in 2009 as the theme for the NHK drama “Pioneers,” with lyrics written by Mariya Takeuchi under the pen name Miyabi.
“Inochi no Uta,” which includes spoken-style elements, is a ballad designed to be sung expressively without straining the vocal range.
The tempo is a relaxed 136, making it nice to sing each phrase carefully.
In particular, for the A section, if you connect the words smoothly and articulate the final vowel sounds clearly, the storytelling quality becomes stronger and the song improves as a whole.
There is a brief high note before the last chorus, but if you belt it you’ll end up using your throat, so try singing it lightly, almost like humming.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
Snow Flower is a quintessential winter ballad sung by a wide range of generations.
It was released in 2003 by Mika Nakashima, a singer known for her solid vocal skills.
The song has been covered by many artists, including Hideaki Tokunaga, so many people in their 40s are likely familiar with it.
With lyrics that depict a clear, delicate romance, its fragile yet beautiful melody resonates.
It’s a recommended ballad for those who want to deliver supple, expressive vocals to a slow tempo.
Try singing this gentle winter song that softly envelops the atmosphere of the karaoke room.
Aino Katachi feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)MISIA
The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.
HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.
This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.
Keep these two points in mind when singing.
FriendsREBECCA
Rebecca, a band emblematic of the late ’80s.
Their popular song “Friends,” released in 1985 as their fourth single, is a rock number tinged with poignancy and is highly recommended for those who want to sing their hearts out with raw emotion.
The explosive, rousing chorus is the highlight, so open your mouth wide and project from your diaphragm.
It feels great for listeners too when someone goes all-in, regardless of how technically good they are! Let’s blow away everyone’s stress with a powerful singing voice!
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!
Song of LoveKōda Kumi
Here’s a recommendation for women in their 40s: an easy-to-sing karaoke song.
“Ai no Uta,” a beautiful ballad by Kumi Koda that portrays the joy and heartbreak of love, shines like a light in a gray night sky.
With lyrics that skillfully express the feelings of a heroine reflecting on lost love, Koda’s clear, translucent vocals, and a simple arrangement that blends perfectly, this song was released in September 2007.
It became a hit, featured in a commercial for “music.jp” and used as a support song for “World Judo 2007.” For women around forty who can relate to the pain of heartbreak, give it a try at karaoke.
