Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (151–160)

LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

Dreams Come Ture/LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜
LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

One of the most popular musical units among women in their 40s is DREAMS COME TRUE.

Although they’ve produced many classic songs, they’re also known for having many high-difficulty tracks, which might make it hard to add them to your repertoire.

That’s why we recommend “LAT, 43˚ N — Forty-three Degrees North Latitude.” For a DCT song, the vocal range is quite narrow, and there aren’t any complex vocal lines.

There are relatively few breathing points, so just be mindful of that when you sing.

YELLikimonogakari

YELLikimonogakari

A song with a warm singing voice and a melody that gently embraces the many feelings of youth, captivating listeners with its heartfelt resonance.

It delicately yet powerfully portrays young people who, though uncertain, are trying to take a step toward the future.

Released by Ikimono-gakari in September 2009, the song was selected as the required piece for the NHK Nationwide School Music Competition’s junior high school division, capturing the hearts of many students.

Many of you may remember singing this song with classmates and friends during your school days.

If you sing it at karaoke, it will likely bring back nostalgic memories and fill you with warmth.

PIECE OF MY WISHImai Miki

Miki Imai is an artist who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.

She started her career as an actress and, after fully shifting to singing, produced numerous classic songs.

Among them, the work I especially recommend is “PIECE OF MY WISH.” While this song spans a somewhat wide vocal range, the vocal line is very simple and the pitch movements are gentle.

It’s high enough to let you sing with a slightly higher voice, yet still manageable even for women with lower voices, making it a great choice for those who want to sing just a bit higher than usual.

Let’s set off in the shining season.Matsuda Seiko

Released in 1994 as Seiko Matsuda’s 38th single.

The song was used in a commercial for “Takano Yuri Beauty Clinic,” and with this track she made her first appearance in six years at the 45th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 1994.

It became a topic of conversation that she performed the full version, including the instrumental break, without any cuts.

It’s a bright, upbeat, and easy-to-sing song.

A flower blooming in joyACO

ACO is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity for her trip-hop-centered musical style.

Many women in their 40s may have discovered her through her guest appearance on Dragon Ash’s classic track “Grateful Days.” Among ACO’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yorokobi ni Saku Hana” (“A Flower Blooming in Joy”).

While the vocals are sentimental, the melody line is unexpectedly even and subdued, with a fairly narrow range, making it easy to sing regardless of your vocal timbre.

Be sure to give it a listen.

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.

SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – 「SNOW DANCE」
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.

For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.

Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.

Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.

Give it a try for reference.
