Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (141–150)
Love me sinfullyChara
Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates elements of Black music.
Many women in their 40s still listen to her songs from time to time, don’t they? Among Chara’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Tsumi Fukaku Aishiteyo” (“Love Me Sinfully”).
While the low range stands out a bit, the vocals stay within the low to mid range, so the overall range isn’t very wide.
And although it draws on soul music, it doesn’t use advanced techniques like vocal runs, making it easy to sing naturally even for those not accustomed to singing Western-style music.
Things that have formShibasaki Kou
Ko Shibasaki captivates people not only as an actress but also as a singer with her expressive performances.
Her sixth single, released in August 2004, is a moving ballad that strikes a deep emotional chord.
Even when something precious is lost, the warm feelings that remain in the heart and the value of invisible bonds are poignantly woven together by Shibasaki’s voice, which blends clarity with strength.
The song became etched in many people’s memories as the theme for the drama “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World,” a social phenomenon at the time, and it debuted at No.
2 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Many listeners surely carry this piece in their hearts along with the drama’s emotion.
As you reminisce about those days and sing along with the bittersweet melody, you’re sure to have a special time.
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.

Face the changeEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is a music duo that still enjoys enduring popularity today.
“Face the change” is an early-career work of theirs, characterized by distinctly ’90s synthesizers and a somewhat rock-tinged vocal line.
That said, it doesn’t feature shouty phrases, and the vocal range stays relatively narrow.
The rhythm is simple as well, so if you can maintain steady, full-bodied tone on sustained notes, it will likely come across as skillful.
Crimson MoonShibata Jun
Jun Shibata is a female singer-songwriter whose melancholic vocals and distinctive allure leave a strong impression.
While she may not be a household-name mainstream artist, many women in their 40s likely listened to her often in their 20s.
Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is Guren no Tsuki (Crimson Moon).
It features a touch of falsetto, but it’s brief and kept in a low register, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing should be able to handle it without strain.
If you want it to sound even better, sing with emotion and emphasize dynamic contrast.
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.
Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
Known by the nickname DoriKamu, DREAMS COME TRUE has long been at the forefront of the J-POP scene, delivering melodious songs favored by Japanese listeners while showing influences from funk and soul.
It’s a famous track that almost everyone has heard at least once—even non-fans—but did you know it has never actually been released as an A-side single? Among DCT’s many challenging songs, this one has a relatively simple melody, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s especially a crowd-pleaser at karaoke for women in their 40s, the generation that grew up with it, regardless of singing ability.
