Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (111–120)

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?”

ONE PIECE is a series that’s always at the forefront of the anime scene, constantly generating buzz.

It has produced many theme songs, but when you hear ONE PIECE, the first one that comes to mind is probably “We Are!” The biggest charm of this song is, without a doubt, its grand vocal line.

The singer, Hiroshi Kitadani, is a vocalist who excels in the lower register as well, and in JAM Project he handles the overall low parts and even death growls.

The richness created by those low tones is truly impressive and perfectly captures the spirit of adventure.

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.

Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who is also active as a musical theater composer.

Released in 2025, her song “Pledge” centers on the theme of accepting oneself as they are, and an emotional atmosphere permeates the entire piece.

The song features a lot of low-register passages and a relatively narrow vocal range overall.

While this means you need to sing it with emotional nuance, it is still, fundamentally, a song that’s easy to perform.

ChaO!Kōda Kumi

ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.

Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.

At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!

Kaela Kimura’s third single, “Rirura Riruha.” True to her early work, the song has an overall rock feel, but the vocal line isn’t particularly intense.

In fact, while the range is mid2C to hiC#—so on the higher side—it stays within a narrow span.

The melodic movement is very gentle, and since the average pitch is mid2E, only two semitones above the lowest note, even those who struggle with high notes should find it easy to sing.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.
