Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (181–190)
Pure AsiaPUFFY
Puffy, the female duo that gained popularity in the early 2000s, could be considered a charismatic presence for women in their 40s.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is ‘Asia no Junshin.’ Because of its upbeat and positive melody, many might think it sits high, but the actual vocal range isn’t wide.
While it has plenty of long notes, vibrato isn’t necessary, so as long as you adjust to a suitable key, even women with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.
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.
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.
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.
