This is my way of life.PUFFY
This is the second single by PUFFY, a female vocal duo whose relaxed, natural style and high-quality songs have earned them popularity not only in Japan but overseas as well.
Used in a Shiseido Tissera commercial, the track has a playful touch—if you string together the kanji in the title, it reads “私生道” (shiseidō), a pun on the brand name.
Its Beatles-esque sound and melody stick with a wide range of listeners, and it’s likely a nostalgic favorite for women in their 40s, who were the core audience at the time.
The song doesn’t require advanced vocal technique and can be sung together by two people, making it a great choice to liven up karaoke with friends.
Live, brilliantlyikimonogakari
This song was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Kingdom Season 6, and the phrase in the title, “Ikite, Sansan” (“Live, Radiantly”), really sticks in your ears.
The vocal range isn’t too high or too low, making it comfortable for women to sing.
It’s also easy to catch the tempo, so I highly recommend it! The melody isn’t difficult, so it’s best to sing each phrase carefully.
Don’t sing with a blank expression—raise your eyebrows and be mindful of gestures, as if you’re tracing the pitch with your hands.
Also, if you sing the beginning of the C melody a bit more strongly, your voice will come out better and you’ll likely enjoy singing it more!
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!
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
DEAR…againHirose Kōmi
This is the eighth single by singer-songwriter Kōmi Hirose, known in the J-POP world as the “Queen of Winter.” Since launching her YouTube channel in 2020, her impressive vocal skills and musicality have continued to draw attention.
The song was used in a commercial for Alpen, and its poignant melody and lyrics that vividly evoke winter scenes made it a beloved number.
With a relaxed tempo and no rapid melodic runs, it’s easy to sing at karaoke; however, because it uses a fairly high key, it’s most enjoyable if you adjust the key to suit your vocal range.
It’s a timeless classic—virtually every woman in her 40s will have heard it.

Love is overŌyō Fifi
Love Is Over, Fifi Ou-yang’s signature song that has been beloved since its 1979 release, portrays an adult breakup through the psychology of a woman who is both romantic and resilient.
In particular, the image of a woman who decisively lets go of love from a nondependent stance must have been innovative even for its time.
The delicate shifts of emotion that emerge from Kaoru Ito’s sensitive songwriting evoke deep empathy in listeners.
Humming this song may bring back memories of youth and give you the courage to live strongly once again.
Thank youikimonogakari
Since the late 2000s, Ikimono-gakari has boasted top-tier sales and popularity in the J-POP scene, enjoying exceptional name recognition across all age groups in households nationwide.
Their songs span a wide variety of genres, yet their melodies—built on simple, classic chord progressions—are incredibly pleasant and accessible, and it’s impressive how they consistently release “good songs” that appeal to everyone.
Released in 2010, Arigatou served as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Gegege no Nyōbō and is one of Ikimono-gakari’s signature tracks, also very popular at karaoke.
While the chorus features slightly higher notes, the range is manageable in chest voice without drastic interval jumps, making it a strong candidate for a high karaoke score!
