Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (141–150)
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!
Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi
For women in their 40s, Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service is probably right on the mark for their generation.
The song “Rouge no Dengon” is a famous track by Yumi Matsutoya and was chosen as the theme song for Kiki’s Delivery Service.
As a piece released in the 1970s, it features a bright, nostalgic melody throughout.
Because it’s an older song, it can be said to be reasonably easy to sing.
However, the vocal range is quite wide—from mid1 F# to hi D#—and the chorus has significant pitch jumps, so you’ll need to learn the vocal line well to avoid going off pitch.
Wasshoi!Aikawa Nanase
Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as a Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.
Her song “Wasshoi!” was released with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan in 2025.
The piece consciously incorporates a distinctly Japanese flavor in its melody, featuring several phrases reminiscent of enka.
As a result, it’s crafted to be easy for Japanese singers to perform; however, the end of the chorus holds a sustained long note at a slightly higher pitch, so be careful not to let your voice crack there.
If you set the key to suit that section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.
Door of LifeTakeuchi Mariya
A song by Mariya Takeuchi released in 2007.
In terms of her overall career, it falls into her mid-period, so it may not be from the core generation for women in their 50s, but it’s a very popular piece among fans.
Its appeal lies in the profound lyrics that resonate more deeply with age, paired with a warm melody that complements them.
The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1E to hi C#, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it, overall, an easy song to sing.
There’s an English-lyric section in the middle, so if you’re unsure about pronunciation, make sure to drill the linking beforehand.
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
KILL LOVEano
At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.
The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.
In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.
Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.
The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.
Seduce Venusnozomi
It’s a song released for streaming on July 4, 2025, and it’s the theme song for the DMM TV show “LOVE RING.” Some of you might already find it familiar.
Although the tempo is on the faster side, the vocal range isn’t very wide, so the key should be manageable for women.
However, the very last note of the chorus goes up to D#5.
If you’re comfortable with high notes, you might be able to sing each phrase with momentum, but if you’re not used to singing high, forcing it could strain your throat—so switch to head voice without pushing.
It uses more breath than you might expect, so once you get used to it, you may find you can sing a bit more powerfully.
It’s a cool track that’s sure to hype up the crowd! Definitely give it a listen and learn it!
