Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (141–150)
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.
Never endsUru
“Never ends,” the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigation Unit,” will be familiar to those watching the show.
The verse to pre-chorus range is set on the lower side, so try singing gently and carefully from the start without belting.
The high notes in the chorus go up to around D#5, but avoid forcing it—aim to deliver them cleanly in head voice like Uru.
There’s also a low note around C3 in the bridge, which may be low for many women, though lower-voiced female singers might find it manageable.
Sing gently without straining your throat.
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.
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!
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.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi’s “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara” is the theme song for the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, and it has a nostalgic feel, doesn’t it? I’ve sung this one at karaoke too, and since the opening notes are really low, it might be an easy song to pitch for people who are good at low tones! When you sing it, make sure to keep a steady 4/4 beat so the rhythm doesn’t slip.
Also, the arrangement builds toward the latter half, so be mindful of dynamics and project your voice clearly into the mic—doing so can boost your score, so give it a try!
The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto
Makoto Kawamoto, known as a pioneer among guitar-playing female singers, has left us with many great songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend for women in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is “Ai no Sainō” (The Talent for Love).
Since singer-songwriter Yasuyuki Okamura composed it, the track leans a bit toward groove, but the vocal range is narrow, so the overall difficulty is fairly low.
If you lock into the rhythm, you can likely aim for a high score at karaoke.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
