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.
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.
Et cetera related to the seashorePUFFY
PUFFY is a distinctive female duo whose music is striking for its unique sensibility: while their songs often have a bright, standout tone, they also carry a subtly ennui-laden atmosphere.
They’re also known as fashion icons, and I believe many women in their 40s admired their fashion and musical style.
Among PUFFY’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera.
Although it sits a bit on the higher side, the vocal range itself is relatively narrow—mid2B to hiC#—so as long as you sing it in an appropriate key, you shouldn’t struggle with vocal production.
Since much of it is sung in chest voice, trying to deliver the chorus in a speaking-like tone is a good approach.
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.

Red Sweet PeaMatsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda’s “Akai Sweet Pea,” beloved across generations, is a karaoke classic! It gives you that bright feeling where nostalgia and freshness blend together.
With its slow tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
When the key rises in the chorus, make sure to take a good breath and don’t push yourself.
The pure lyrics bring out a woman’s sweetness to the fullest, so it’s also a great pick for a karaoke date.
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 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.
