Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (71–80)
We are!kitadani hiroshi
ONE PIECE is a series that’s always at the forefront of the anime scene, constantly generating buzz.
It has produced many theme songs, but when you hear ONE PIECE, the first one that comes to mind is probably “We Are!” The biggest charm of this song is, without a doubt, its grand vocal line.
The singer, Hiroshi Kitadani, is a vocalist who excels in the lower register as well, and in JAM Project he handles the overall low parts and even death growls.
The richness created by those low tones is truly impressive and perfectly captures the spirit of adventure.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
La La La by Maki Ohguro, released in 1995, became a huge hit.
Among her songs, which often have a powerful image, this one has a more relaxed feel, so it’s best sung without too much tension.
The melody is so pleasant that listeners will find themselves wanting to sway along.
The lyrics will likely resonate with women in their 40s who are feeling a bit worn out from work or romance.
The key goes up in the bridge, making it more challenging, but be sure to deliver it with emotion.
A Little SongJUJU
JUJU made her full-fledged debut in 2009.
For many women in their 40s, “Yasashisa de Afureru Youni” might be their youth anthem.
In September 2025, JUJU released “Chiisana Uta.” It has a very calm feel, so once you learn the melody, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to C#5, and since it’s not a belting song, those who struggle with high notes can feel at ease.
If you place each word carefully as you sing, you won’t rush the rhythm.
Singing as if you’re speaking to someone helps you keep the tempo, so it’s recommended.
If you feel some notes are a bit high, use plenty of breath and aim to resonate in your head for a light touch.
Also, the key modulates in the last chorus and the range goes up, so don’t push it—getting comfortable with falsetto there will make it easier to sing!
Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (81–90)
Sign of LovePUFFY
Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular musical duo.
Many of you may have even copied their fashion, right? Among PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Ai no Shirushi (A Sign of Love).
Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.
The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without any issues.
rainMoritaka Chisato
Chisato Moritaka was an idol who was hugely active from the late 1980s through the 1990s.
While she was a classic pure-hearted idol, she’s also known for having many songs that stir the emotions.
Among her works, the song I especially recommend for women in their 40s who aren’t confident about singing is “Ame” (Rain).
It’s a quintessential J-pop ballad with an extremely singable vocal line.
There are virtually no long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control should be able to sing it without difficulty.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessArai Yumi (Matsutoya Yumi)
Yumi Arai’s song “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara,” also famous as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, is a classic from the period when Yumi Matsutoya—affectionately known as Yuming—was performing under the name Yumi Arai.
What makes this song so easy to sing is, above all, its widespread recognition.
Since people of all ages know it, it’s a reliable choice for karaoke when a wide range of generations are gathered.
If you’ve never sung it before, take this opportunity to add it to your repertoire.
The melody is easy to remember, and it’s a very gentle, soothing song.
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
