Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
LastlyMayo Okamoto
Mayo Okamoto is a female singer who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
In the early part of her career she specialized in gentle ballads, but recently she has also been presenting songs with a bit more edge.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lastly.
It’s basically a piece with a narrow vocal range, and the pitch movement isn’t all that drastic.
It remains easy to sing, but there are moments where long falsetto notes appear, so you need to watch out for those.
If the key is set too low, you won’t be able to produce a solid falsetto, so it’s best to raise the key by one or two steps from your usual optimal key.
KILL LOVEano
At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.
The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.
In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.
Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.
The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.
Summertime CinderellaRyokushokushakai
Among Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s songs, “Summertime Cinderella” has a relatively calm vocal range.
There are some high notes here and there, but it doesn’t seem like you need to belt much.
However, since the tempo is a bit quick at 143, it’s important to lock into the rhythm.
The lowest note, F#3, appears at the end of the A verse, and it’s a spot where pitching can be quite difficult.
What you should keep in mind is to keep your eyebrows raised at all times! Not just in the low parts—if you sing with your eyebrows up throughout, it becomes much easier to hit the right pitches, so I highly recommend it.
Moreover, for low notes, try projecting your voice “in front of your eyebrows” so the sound doesn’t get muffled and can resonate.
It’s not too hard, so definitely try singing with this in mind!
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.
Tears Flowing EndlesslyNatsukawa Rimi
A song that soothes women who work hard every day at their jobs and with housework and childcare.
Its relaxed tempo slowly seeps into your heart.
If you sing it with feeling, phrase by phrase, all kinds of emotions will surely well up—memories of past joys and sorrows.
All the experiences you’ve had lead to who you are now.
It affirms you just as you are and brings a sense of calm.
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!
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.
