Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (71–80)
Swaying feelingsZARD
A singable, pleasant melody is key when choosing songs for karaoke.
ZARD’s hit song “Yureru Omoi” fits that bill perfectly.
Known also as a commercial jingle, its bittersweet lyrics and nostalgic melodic line weave a harmony that even those not used to singing can easily hum along to.
The familiar phrases are quick to remember, and you’ll find your body naturally moving to the rhythm.
Why not enjoy “Yureru Omoi” at karaoke—a song everyone can passionately sing along to, filled with memories?
Stay by my sideKuraki Mai
A song that reminds you of something important.
In the rush of a busy life, we sometimes lose sight of what we truly want.
This song gently slips into the depths of your heart and helps you find a locked treasure chest.
Inside are the things you cherished as a child and the dreams you once had.
It will help you remember even the things you forgot as you grew up.
mermaidNOKKO
Released in 1994, Nokko’s classic hit “Ningyo” (Mermaid) features her as the vocalist from the band Rebecca.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.” It’s well known that Namie Amuro, who played the role of Miyoko Yoshiyama in the drama, covered the song.
Others like Kou Shibasaki and JUJU have covered it as well, making it a favorite among women.
It’s a cute love song, yet it stirs a sense of wistfulness as you listen.
It may be difficult to sing it like Nokko, but try singing it in your own way, with your feelings poured into it.

AloneMayo Okamoto
Alone, released in 1997 by singer Mayo Okamoto—best known for her signature song TOMORROW—is a heartbreak ballad that anyone can relate to.
Although she’s often associated with a bright vocal tone, she sings this track with a very sorrowful voice.
It’s a perfect song for women who excel at gentle, tender ballads.
The Door to TomorrowI WiSH
Released in 2003, the song became a big hit as the theme for Fuji TV’s “Ainori.” The overall vocal range is A#3 to D5, and while the chorus goes a bit higher, the melody is very simple, making it easy to stay on pitch and the straightforward lyrics are easy to convey—so it’s often recommended for karaoke beginners and even those who struggle with pitch.
The lyrics are relatively dense and you’re singing almost the whole time, so taking breaths at the end of each phrase will help you avoid getting winded and make it easier to sing.
While listening to the song, it might help to mentally practice where you’ll “take a breath here.” The basic image is to sing lightly while staying relaxed.
Once you can hum lightly, try turning that same resonance into your singing voice in the same spot.
If your throat feels comfortable the whole time, you’re good!
romantic feelingsAikawa Nanase
Koigokoro, one of Nanase Aikawa’s signature songs, was also the first track of hers to sell over a million copies.
Starting with a hard-hitting intro, it really lifts your spirits.
While the original features her alluring husky vocals, the key isn’t particularly high and the melody is easy to pick up, making it very singable.
It’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes or who want to sing a cool, edgy women’s song.
Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu
Pocket Biscuits is a musical unit that originated from the 1990s hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.
Unusually for a unit born from a TV project, they were active for five years, and at their peak they even held a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a strong, uplifting melody, but the vocal line itself is simple, repeating similar phrases.
In addition, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so women in their 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
