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.
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!
I hope it’s sunny.DREAMS COME TRUE
The song “Haretara Ii ne” was created with the scenery of Miwa Yoshida’s hometown, Ikeda Town in Hokkaido, in mind.
Released in 1992, it became one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s popular numbers, chosen as the theme song for an NHK drama and reaching No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
As you’d expect from a DCT song, the range is slightly higher at mid1 G to hi G, but since the verses sit mainly in the low-to-mid range, it shouldn’t feel too difficult overall.
The hi C should preferably be sung in chest voice with solid power rather than falsetto, so make this a focal point in your practice.

After all, I’m an idolKoizumi Kyoko
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.
eternityZARD
Among women in their 40s, many likely enjoy ZARD.
Of ZARD’s songs, one I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “Eien” (“Eternal”).
It’s crafted as a classic J‑pop ballad, with a catchy, quintessentially J‑pop vocal line throughout.
While the song centers on the mid-to-high range, its overall range isn’t wide, so even those who struggle with higher notes should be able to sing it without issue.
Be sure to give it a listen.
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.
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.
