Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
BEACONDREAMS COME TRUE
For women in their 40s, wouldn’t it be fair to say that DREAMS COME TRUE is the most popular music duo? They have many classic songs, but among them, the one I’d recommend as easy to sing even for the tone-deaf is “BEACON.” This is a relatively new track that was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the drama “The Great Pursuit: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Violent Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to a late-’90s to early-2000s style, resulting in a wistful yet nostalgic melody.
In particular, the bass line features a nostalgic effect you don’t hear much in contemporary J-pop.
As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song; while it includes many long tones, the overall pitch movement is gentle.
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is a song from Yuki Koyanagi’s 1999 debut, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Maybe some of you listened to this track on repeat back then? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch.
Don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the melody jumps up quickly from the chorus into the bridge, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you can lower the key and still sing it stylishly without any problem.
You don’t have to belt across the whole song—keeping a light touch with a head voice focus is plenty, so try approaching it with an easy, relaxed feel.
Door of LifeTakeuchi Mariya
A song by Mariya Takeuchi released in 2007.
In terms of her overall career, it falls into her mid-period, so it may not be from the core generation for women in their 50s, but it’s a very popular piece among fans.
Its appeal lies in the profound lyrics that resonate more deeply with age, paired with a warm melody that complements them.
The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1E to hi C#, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it, overall, an easy song to sing.
There’s an English-lyric section in the middle, so if you’re unsure about pronunciation, make sure to drill the linking beforehand.
like youDREAMS COME TRUE
This is a highly recognized number because it was frequently played in living rooms as the theme song for a Kampo Life Insurance commercial.
Many listeners probably projected the “you” in the lyrics onto their own mothers.
With a gentle, lilting waltz (3/4) rhythm, the melody is comfortable for both singers and listeners.
When singing it at karaoke, adding handclaps during the intro can help create a fun atmosphere.
The song was released in 2016 as DREAMS COME TRUE’s third digital-only single.
cast (medical plaster cast)Shiina Ringo
Released as Ringo Sheena’s first ballad single, this memorable track was composed based on her own real experiences at age 17 and showcases a new side of her artistry.
It vividly captures both the flutter of a girl in love and the pain that love can bring, while the beautifully balanced band sound and strings highlight her crystalline vocals.
Wrapped in a refined, adult atmosphere yet rekindling the fresh feelings of one’s teens, singing this song is sure to bring back memories of youthful days spent wrestling with love.
Watarase BridgeMoritaka Chisato
It’s Chisato Moritaka’s 17th single, released in 1993.
She once called herself a “non-talented” singer, but the vocal ability she shows on this track is quite impressive.
The melody is simple and easy to sing, yet she keeps it engaging and never boring.
There aren’t any particularly difficult parts for karaoke either, so if you’re only aiming for a high score, anyone with a bit of confidence in their singing should find it easy.
But if you can fully express that simple melody and sing it with feeling, that’s the best!
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!
