Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (71–80)
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.
A gentle feelingChara
A very cute song sung by Chara, “Yasashii Kimochi,” was used as the CM song for Shiseido’s “Tessera J.” The song is sung in her distinctive whispery voice, which leaves a strong impression.
Although it was released in 1997, it became known to today’s younger generation when Moka Kamishiraishi covered it for a “Gogo no Kocha” commercial in 2016.
The key is a bit high, but since you can sing it without belting, it should be fine if you sing softly in falsetto, almost like a whisper!
confessionTakeuchi Mariya
With the revival boom, songs from the 1980s have been drawing attention lately.
In particular, Mariya Takeuchi, as a leading singer of city pop, is very popular at karaoke.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Confession.
This track features many low-register parts, making it very easy to sing even for women in their 40s who may find high notes harder to reach.
It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to tackle songs that are gentle on the throat.
WILLNakajima Mika
A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own path in life.
It begins with memories of gazing up at the night sky and, while reflecting on the journey so far, speaks powerfully of a resolve for the future.
Her pure, delicate vocals carry a trace of poignancy and inspire the courage to face forward—an exceptional song.
Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astroguide” (Tentai Kansoku).
Crafted by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s best sung at an unhurried pace, holding cherished memories and determination close to your heart.
PRIDEImai Miki
This is the 12th single by Miki Imai, who is active across a wide range of fields including acting and singing.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Doc,” and it also drew attention because it was written and composed by Tomoyasu Hotei, known as the guitarist of BOØWY.
It’s one of her signature songs.
With a relaxed tempo and no difficult leaps in pitch, it’s an easy track to sing at karaoke.
It’s sure to be a hit when you sing it with friends of the same generation.
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.
Your SongLOVE PSYCHEDELICO
“Your Song” is a track released by LOVE PSYCHEDELICO in 2000 that was featured in a Seiko LUKIA commercial.
What’s great about LOVE PSYCHEDELICO is that, although it’s Japanese music, it has a cool, Western vibe—and this song is a perfect example.
That said, it’s not particularly hard to sing; there are lots of repeated sections, so it’s easy to memorize, and you can take it on even if you can’t hit high notes.
Since there are English lyrics in it, try practicing those parts so they really stand out and sound cool!
