Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (81–90)
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.
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.
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.
Surely more than anyone else in the worldNagayama Miho & WANDS
It’s a very famous song and one of Miho Nakayama’s signature tracks.
I imagine many people sing it.
The collaboration with the rock band WANDS is also quite special.
The overall vocal range is F#3 to B4, and since the chorus uses the top note B4 quite often, it’s an easy key for those who are good with high notes.
If you feel it’s “too high” when singing, don’t force it—try lowering the key by one or two steps.
If you struggle with chest voice, adding clear accents in the high parts will help you produce sound more easily.
You can probably sense where the high sections are while singing, so try aiming for those spots and pronouncing them with an “ah” first.
Also, for syllables with the vowel “i,” pulling the mouth too wide will create tension.
Try to create space inside your mouth and be mindful not to overemphasize the “ee” sound.
go for it！DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE is a duo supported by every generation, including those in their forties.
Because their music is rooted in Black music, many of their songs are complex, but of course there are simpler ones as well.
One I recommend is go for it!.
While the melody is somewhat irregular, the vocal range is narrow and there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch, making it one of the easier DREAMS COME TRUE songs to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Riding on the back of a silver dragonNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For women in their 30s, you might remember it as the theme song for the drama Dr.
Cotto.
Although the song is notable for its passionate vocal delivery, its range is surprisingly narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without issue.
The vocal line itself is simple, but because the song has fairly dramatic dynamics, be careful not to start off with too much volume.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Moon DropsRUI
A gemlike ballad that lyrically portrays the fragility and beauty of a heart in love, likening it to moonlight.
Ko Shibasaki’s clear, translucent vocals bring deep emotion to the story.
Released in January 2003 as the theme song for the film “Yomigaeri,” it topped the Oricon charts.
Selling over 830,000 copies, this major hit also drew attention as a song credited to RUI, the singer portrayed by Ko Shibasaki.
A heartrending yet warmly evocative piece that revives memories of the time alongside the film’s iconic scenes.
