Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (171–180)
summer festivalWhiteberry
For women in their early 40s, when thinking back to songs that became hits nationwide during their twenties, many might recall “Natsu Matsuri.” It’s known for its very catchy melody, but I think many people also have the impression that it’s hard to sing because of the high notes.
While the song certainly features a prominent high register, its overall vocal range isn’t actually wide.
If you adjust the key, even those who find it hard to produce higher notes should be able to sing it without any problem.
LOVE 2000hitomi
Born amid hopes and anxieties for a new century, this universally resonant song questions the essence of love.
Hitomi’s powerful vocals and forward-looking melody are perfectly balanced, and the work conveys a straightforward stance and strong will that face reality while gazing toward the future.
Released in June 2000, it was chosen as the image song for Nippon TV’s “Gekikukan Pro Yakyu 2000.” It also drew attention when Sydney Olympics women’s marathon gold medalist Naoko Takahashi revealed she listened to it before training.
If you’re a man in your 40s who spent his youth in the 2000s, consider adding this classic to your karaoke lineup.
Marigoldaimyon
Aimyong’s songs have a timeless appeal that’s independent of trends, making them popular across generations.
“Marigold,” released in 2018, marked her major breakthrough.
Its somewhat nostalgic melody evokes the early Heisei era, making it very pleasant to listen to and a classic that resonates with people of all ages.
For women in their 40s who say, “I mostly listen to the J-pop from my youth, but I want to try singing something more recent…,” I highly recommend Aimyong’s songs.
“Marigold” sits on the lower side pitch-wise and doesn’t have an extreme vocal range, so even those with lower voices or who feel insecure about singing should give it a try!
Love Dance SiteMōningu Musume.
Morning Musume’s classic “Koi no Dance Site,” with its striking Arabian-inspired melody.
If you’re a woman in your early 40s, chances are you’ve sung it at karaoke at least once.
Despite its flashy melody, the song’s vocal range is set quite narrowly, making it easy to sing even with a more mature voice.
Some people may feel uneasy about the Arabian scale, but since there aren’t sudden, riff-like jumps in pitch, you can aim for a high karaoke score as long as you focus on solid pitch control.
Green Que Sera SeraOka Midori
It’s a fun, upbeat Reiwa-era rhythm kayō masterpiece that makes any Japanese person want to clap along and start dancing! “Midori no Que Sera Sera” is a song released by Midori Oka in 2021, and as the title suggests, you can sing it comfortably with a carefree “que sera sera—whatever will be, will be” feeling.
The instantly catchy chorus sticks after one listen, and if everyone in your karaoke group sings it together, it’ll definitely liven up the room.
The signature enka vocal flourishes—like heavy kobushi and wide vibrato—are kept modest, and the more natural delivery makes it approachable even for those who feel unsure about singing traditional enka.
First and foremost, have fun and sing along to the cheerful rhythm!

SOLITUDENakamori Akina
“SOLITUDE” is a track that blends urban sophistication and elegance, and its lyrics portraying a city woman became a talking point.
It makes perfect sense when you hear it was written by Reiko Yukawa and composed by Godiego’s Yukihide Takakawa.
Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice—truly breathtaking.
The lyrics evoke the image of an empty high-rise floor, resonating perfectly when you feel like running away somewhere alone.
The song has many relatively easy-to-sing sections.
It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.
I recommend humming along at least once.
I want to be happy.Uchida Yuki
Yuki Uchida has been active as an actress for many years.
Younger people might not know this, but for many women in their 40s, she also leaves a strong impression as a musical artist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase ni Naritai” (“I Want to Be Happy”).
While the melody has some noticeable rises and falls, the overall tempo is relaxed, so you should be able to follow the pitch without trouble.
The vocal range is also narrow, making it a good choice to sing even when your voice is starting to tire at a second party.
