Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (171–180)
Tokyo at 7 p.m.Pizzicato Five
Pizzicato Five, often called the pioneers of the Shibuya-kei scene.
Their signature is dance pop infused with house, delivering a stylish sound that pairs catchy hooks with an edgy flair.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Tokyo wa Yoru no Shichiji (Tokyo at 7 p.m.).
Since it’s dance music, you might think the rhythm is tricky, but house is based on a four-on-the-floor beat—the easiest kind to follow—so there’s no need to worry.
The vocal line rises and falls gently, and the overall range is quite narrow, meaning anyone, regardless of their voice type, can sing it lightly and confidently.
CRAZY GONNA CRAZYTRF
Even within the broad label of “people in their 40s,” the music you grew up with differs greatly depending on whether you’re in your early or late 40s.
That said, TRF can be considered an artist popular across the entire 40-something demographic.
Among their songs, CRAZY GONNA CRAZY is particularly easy to sing.
Because it’s primarily dance music, it can be hard to notice, but the song actually has a narrow vocal range and doesn’t feature complex melodic leaps.
As long as you adjust the key to suit your voice, even those who feel their voice doesn’t come out easily should be able to sing it without trouble.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
Ding DongZoo
ZOO was a music group that was hugely active in the 1990s.
In Japan, they helped popularize black contemporary music, gaining popularity with a sound that made what was then an uncommon genre catchy and accessible.
Among ZOO’s songs, one I especially recommend is “Ding Dong.” While the song has fairly pronounced dynamic nuances, they are primarily expressive rather than driven by volume, which stays relatively steady, so it’s not overly difficult.
The vocal range is also narrow, so if you lock into the rhythm and pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
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.

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.
Be sure to check it out.
Ah, what a relief.Hana＊Hana
The music duo Hana*Hana gained popularity with their warm, gentle sound.
They have several mega-hits, so I think many women in their 40s remember them.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is A~ Yokatta.
It’s a classic J-pop ballad, with a gently rising and falling vocal line, a relatively narrow range, and modest long tones—features that make it easy to sing, even for those who aren’t confident singers.
