Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (111–120)
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.
Being just friends is fine.Takahashi Yumiko
Yumiko Takahashi’s “Tomodachi de Ii Kara,” known as the theme song for the drama ‘Minami-kun no Koibito.’ The lyrics convey the heart-wrenching feelings of unrequited love.
Yet the sound and melody are so refreshing that you’ll want to listen to it over and over.
It’s a song that, when you sing it, will always bring back memories of youthful romance.
Definitely try singing it at karaoke with friends from the same generation.
Even first-timers will find it easy to sing right away because the melody is so easy to remember.
Like when we first metEvery Little Thing
For many women now in their 40s who spent their teenage years to early twenties in the mid-to-late 1990s, Every Little Thing holds a special place.
Back then, plenty of people imitated Kaori Mochida’s fashion and hairstyles.
ELT’s classic songs are still hugely popular at karaoke even in the Reiwa era, but if you’re aiming for a high score, we recommend the 1997 hit “Deatta Koro no You ni.” Its quintessential late-’90s Avex-style sound and melody make it very easy to sing, and since there aren’t any tricky sections, it’s less likely you’ll go off-pitch.
The overall key is on the higher side, so if you have a lower voice, try adjusting the key to suit you before singing.
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!
Kiss me here.Shiina Ringo
It’s recommended when you want to immerse yourself in early Ringo-world.
It sings about the tangled feelings of someone whose lover is easily distracted by other women.
It’s a Shiina Ringo song, and the guy has a slightly more nihilistic vibe than your average man.
When he glances at a cute girl, even though I’m not that cute, I totally get that feeling of “Look over here!” No matter how fickle he is, I’m head over heels, so I just can’t leave him.
Turn the roulette of fateZARD
A supreme song woven from lyrical lyrics that capture the subtleties of life and a light, buoyant melody.
While questioning the role of fate’s coincidences and the meaning of our choices, it gently reminds us of the importance of facing forward and living on.
Composed by Seiichiro Kuribayashi, it beautifully harmonizes ZARD’s heartwarming message with a fresh, breezy sound.
Since its release in September 1998, it has been beloved as an opening theme for the anime Detective Conan and was also included on the album ZARD BEST The Single Collection: Kiseki.
It’s an encouraging anthem recommended for those who, even amid uncertainty, want to take a step forward and for anyone who wishes to move ahead without fearing change.
Sign of LovePUFFY
Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular musical duo.
Many of you may have even copied their fashion, right? Among PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Ai no Shirushi (A Sign of Love).
Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.
The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without any issues.
