Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (131–140)
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.
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.
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.”
Angel’s RestHisamatsu Fumina
Fumina Hisamatsu is a female singer who gained popularity for her musical style that incorporates glam rock and soft rock into J-pop.
She has a slightly low, full-bodied voice, and is known for vocals as robust as those of male rock singers.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Tenshi no Kyūsoku (Angel’s Rest).
If you’re a rock fan in your late 40s, you might have listened to it back in the day.
While the song is notable for its powerful melody, it sits mostly in the low-to-mid range and has a narrow vocal range, making it a piece that doesn’t depend heavily on the singer’s specific timbre.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
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.
