Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
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.
ButterflyKōda Kumi
Among Kumi Koda’s songs, “Butterfly” stands out as an especially passionate work.
It fully showcases her signature ‘sexy-cool’ style, featuring a distinctive melody that blends Latin flavors and 2-step with a touch of kayōkyoku.
The range spans mid1 D# to hi C#, leaning lower overall, but the pitch movement isn’t excessively dramatic.
That said, it does incorporate elements like vibrato, hiccups, and edgy falls, so a certain level of finesse and technical nuance is required.
Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (101–110)
Gypsy QueenNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s “Gypsy Queen,” which portrays the feelings of a woman living alone in the big city, is a captivating song where exotic, evocative lyrics beautifully match Nakamori’s pure, crystalline vocals.
Because the melody spans a relatively narrow range throughout, it’s also easier to sing at karaoke.
Combining both cuteness and allure, Akina Nakamori remains an icon admired by women of all ages.
If you’ve been thinking, “I want to try singing Akina Nakamori’s songs, but they seem too difficult,” why not start with “Gypsy Queen?”
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.
Marunouchi SadisticShiina Ringo
It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.
The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.
As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.
If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.
Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.
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!
Baby MineTakeuchi Mariya
“Baby Mine” is the end theme for the Japanese version of Disney’s film Dumbo.
If you want to sing a Disney song but feel a bit shy about the princess songs, this one is perfect! It’s a very gentle ballad with warm lyrics that make it ideal as a song to dedicate to someone special.
I think anyone who hears it will feel it’s a “good song.”
