Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
Swaying feelingsZARD
A singable, pleasant melody is key when choosing songs for karaoke.
ZARD’s hit song “Yureru Omoi” fits that bill perfectly.
Known also as a commercial jingle, its bittersweet lyrics and nostalgic melodic line weave a harmony that even those not used to singing can easily hum along to.
The familiar phrases are quick to remember, and you’ll find your body naturally moving to the rhythm.
Why not enjoy “Yureru Omoi” at karaoke—a song everyone can passionately sing along to, filled with memories?
AloneMayo Okamoto
Alone, released in 1997 by singer Mayo Okamoto—best known for her signature song TOMORROW—is a heartbreak ballad that anyone can relate to.
Although she’s often associated with a bright vocal tone, she sings this track with a very sorrowful voice.
It’s a perfect song for women who excel at gentle, tender ballads.
Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (101–110)
The Theory of HappinessShiina Ringo
The title track of the major-label debut single by Ringo Sheena—a female singer-songwriter who continues to showcase her talent both as a solo artist and as the central figure of the rock band Tokyo Jihen.
It’s a number that fully highlights Sheena’s musical sensibilities, with a sublime imbalance between a pop-leaning composition and a noisy guitar sound.
The version titled “Koufukuron (Yetsuraku-hen)” included on her first album, Muzai Moratorium, is arranged in a punk style, so it might be interesting to compare the two.
Thanks to its relaxed melody, it’s easy to sing at karaoke, and it’s recommended for women in their 40s—the generation likely to relate to it.
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!
Love me sinfullyChara
Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates elements of Black music.
Many women in their 40s still listen to her songs from time to time, don’t they? Among Chara’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Tsumi Fukaku Aishiteyo” (“Love Me Sinfully”).
While the low range stands out a bit, the vocals stay within the low to mid range, so the overall range isn’t very wide.
And although it draws on soul music, it doesn’t use advanced techniques like vocal runs, making it easy to sing naturally even for those not accustomed to singing Western-style music.
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.
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE
LOVE LOVE LOVE, a famous song by DREAMS COME TRUE released in 1995.
If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
The song’s vocal range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which is relatively narrow for a DCT track.
The tempo is very relaxed, and the melodic movement is gentle, so as long as you’ve memorized the vocal line well, you’re unlikely to go off pitch.
However, because the slow tempo leads to more long notes, it’s advisable to master diaphragmatic breathing to maintain stable vocal production.
