Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
The lyrics were written by Ai Yazawa, the original creator of NANA, and the composition/production was handled by HYDE—an all-star team behind a song that took the world by storm! The song’s range isn’t too high and is comfortable for most female singers, so many people probably enjoy singing it.
However, at the end of the second chorus, the highest note E5 appears.
This is a spot you’ll want to nail with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to resonate nasally, making them harder to project than other sounds.
So try singing with more strength than you think you need! Be sure to place solid accents in time with this section.
If the key feels tough, starting in head voice is fine.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger head voice—engage your lower abdomen and add those accents!
La La LaDaikoku Maki
La La La by Maki Ohguro, released in 1995, became a huge hit.
Among her songs, which often have a powerful image, this one has a more relaxed feel, so it’s best sung without too much tension.
The melody is so pleasant that listeners will find themselves wanting to sway along.
The lyrics will likely resonate with women in their 40s who are feeling a bit worn out from work or romance.
The key goes up in the bridge, making it more challenging, but be sure to deliver it with emotion.

On your marksaimyon
This is a song scheduled for digital release in July 2025, selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “The 19th Chart.” In an interview, Aimyon said, “It’s my first song at 30, and it also has the meaning of returning to my roots.” The tempo is very relaxed, with little pitch fluctuation, making it an easy key to sing.
If you want to return to your origins or make a fresh start, why not learn this song? Also, as the song progresses into the latter half, Aimyon’s singing shifts from falsetto to chest voice.
Even without consciously trying, I think you’ll naturally be drawn into the world of the song as you sing it.
In particular, the latter half of the final chorus is sung with great power.
As your emotions rise, it’s easy to tense up, so try singing while projecting your voice into the distance to avoid straining.
Angel’s RestHisamatsu Fumina
Fumina Hisamatsu is a female singer who gained popularity for her musical style that incorporates glam rock and soft rock into J-pop.
She has a slightly low, full-bodied voice, and is known for vocals as robust as those of male rock singers.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Tenshi no Kyūsoku (Angel’s Rest).
If you’re a rock fan in your late 40s, you might have listened to it back in the day.
While the song is notable for its powerful melody, it sits mostly in the low-to-mid range and has a narrow vocal range, making it a piece that doesn’t depend heavily on the singer’s specific timbre.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Ice RainKudō Shizuka
A song that gently wraps up unbearable sorrow and pain.
Its melody touches the heartstrings, and I find myself on the verge of tears as I sing.
Letting tears flow has the power to heal the emotions you’ve been holding back.
It softly strokes the back of your wounded self and tells you that you don’t have to force yourself to be cheerful right now.
Pour your sadness into the song, and let out the pain you’re carrying.
Come, spring.Matsutōya Yumi
This is the theme song of the 1994 NHK morning drama series “Haru yo, Koi.” The lyrics and music were written by Yumi Matsutoya, and I think the intro of this song is truly wonderful.
It has an intro that evokes a sense of poignancy when you listen to it, doesn’t it? The overall vocal range is relatively calm at F3–G#4, so it should be quite comfortable for lower-voiced female singers.
The tempo is also relaxed, so you should have plenty of room to breathe.
When you take a breath, be careful not to let your shoulders rise.
Keep your shoulders relaxed at all times and let the air fill your abdomen.
Also, I think the chorus phrases become easier to sing if you articulate them clearly!
sunflowerAdo
Sunflower, Ado’s single released in July 2025 as the theme song for the TBS drama “18/40: If It’s the Two of Us, Dreams and Love Too.” Ado is known for her high-tone voice and powerful shouts, but those elements are restrained in this work.
That said, the vocal range spans from mid1 G# to hi D#, which is by no means narrow, and the pitch movement is fairly dynamic.
It’s best to thoroughly learn the vocal line in advance before attempting it.
