Unwavering WishTamura Naomi
Resounding with a sound that expresses an unyielding will to push forward without giving up on dreams and goals, it stirs the listener’s heart with fiery passion.
Woven by Naomi Tamura, this work—brimming with a rock flavor and the sparkle of youth—carries a message of courage to overcome hardships time and again.
Released in November 1994, it was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Magic Knight Rayearth, and is also included on the album “N’” and the renowned compilation “GOLDEN☆BEST.” Mirroring the protagonist’s doubts and inner conflicts, as well as their resolute forward gaze, it achieved remarkable synergy.
It’s the perfect song to gently nudge you forward when you want to move ahead but can’t take that first step—a true anthem of encouragement.
On your marksaimyon
This is a song scheduled for digital release in July 2025, selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “The 19th Chart.” In an interview, Aimyon said, “It’s my first song at 30, and it also has the meaning of returning to my roots.” The tempo is very relaxed, with little pitch fluctuation, making it an easy key to sing.
If you want to return to your origins or make a fresh start, why not learn this song? Also, as the song progresses into the latter half, Aimyon’s singing shifts from falsetto to chest voice.
Even without consciously trying, I think you’ll naturally be drawn into the world of the song as you sing it.
In particular, the latter half of the final chorus is sung with great power.
As your emotions rise, it’s easy to tense up, so try singing while projecting your voice into the distance to avoid straining.
CandyGushima Naoko
With the recent revival boom, more and more songs are incorporating the musical sensibilities of the 1980s.
Modern songs tend to have densely packed lyrics, making them harder to sing, but older music doesn’t have that issue, and there are many songs that are easier to sing.
Naoko Gushima’s “Candy” is one such song.
Although it’s a recent track, it’s crafted with a musical style reminiscent of 1980s female idols, with minimal lyrical congestion throughout, resulting in a structure that’s very easy to sing.
KanadeSukima Suichi
Sukima Switch’s second single.
Because it’s a song by Sukima Switch with a somewhat laid-back vocal style, it should be easy to sing at karaoke for anyone regardless of gender.
In particular, women will likely find the high notes relatively easy, so I’d love to hear it performed with a light, relaxed delivery rather than forcing it.
The lyrics are from a male perspective, but I think women can also bring convincing power to male-perspective lyrics like this—especially from their 40s and up.
Please try singing it as “your own song.”

Can You Keep A Secret?Utada Hikaru
Can You Keep A Secret? was chosen as the theme song for the drama HERO starring Takuya Kimura.
Released in 2001 by singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, it became a hit alongside the show.
Her sultry vocals resonate over a rhythmic track.
The song is packed with appeal, including its slightly thrilling lyrics that depict exchanges with someone with whom you share a secret.
If you’re in your 40s, give this song a try—it’s sure to bring back memories of the early 2000s.
Love againglobe
People in their 40s are the generation that matched perfectly with the Komuro Sound, right? globe, in particular, was incredibly popular.
However, many of globe’s songs are quite high, and as we get older, a lot of their famous tracks can feel harder to sing.
That’s why I recommend Love again.
While it does have some high notes, its range is slightly narrower for a female song—roughly from mid1F to hiC.
Because of that, you can lower the key by a wider margin, making it easier to find your ideal key, and the pitch movement is relatively simple compared to other globe songs.
Our FailureMorita Doji
This is a song by singer-songwriter Doji Morita that was used as the theme song for the 1993 TV drama “High School Teacher.” The song was originally released on record in 1976, but it became a revival hit after being featured in the drama and was later released on CD.
It’s a slightly melancholic ballad, notable for its whisper-like vocals.
If you’re in your 40s, many of you may have watched the drama when it aired.
It’s a song you can memorize after listening a few times, so even if you didn’t know it before, give it a try!
