Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (181–190)
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.

HeroAmuro Namie
A rousing cheer song by Namie Amuro that powerfully sings of the “courage” and “hope” needed at every stage of life.
Released in July 2016 as NHK’s broadcast theme for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics, it captured the hearts of a wide audience—from athletes to the general public.
When she made a special appearance at the 68th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 2017, her stunning performance set a remarkable peak viewer rating of 48.4%.
If you choose this song when enjoying karaoke with someone special, you’ll surely share a moment of true connection.
Moonlight LegendDALI
A classic that vividly sings of a girl who can’t quite be honest with herself, capturing a pure first love that everyone has felt at least once.
Its lyrics, themed around feelings that deepen under the night sky and fateful encounters, gently stir listeners’ memories.
Released in March 1992, the song captured countless hearts as the opening theme for the TV anime Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon R, and in March 2019 it was honored with Sony Music Entertainment’s Heisei Anisong Grand Prize.
It’s also renowned as a popular karaoke staple: with a manageable vocal range and easy-to-follow rhythm, it has long been loved as a song everyone can enjoy singing together.
flameLiSA
LiSA’s signature work, with its grand ballad style and striking melody that resonates deeply, was released in October 2020 as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train.
The song, which sings of farewell, gratitude, and hope for the future, expresses the strength to overcome parting with someone important and keep moving forward.
In karaoke, it’s a popular ballad that isn’t too wide in vocal range and lets you sing with emotion.
It’s a great pick for casual karaoke with friends or for moments when you want to convey your feelings to someone special.
Toridori Yumemidori feat. DJ KOOOka Midori
The lead track Toridori Yumemidori from Midori Oka’s 20th anniversary album JOURNEY is a unique song—an upbeat, festival-style kayō techno number featuring none other than DJ KOO.
It’s interesting how the up-tempo dance beat meshes surprisingly well with the abundant traditional Japanese flavors like shamisen and shinobue.
The vocals are quite rapid-fire, but once you memorize the lyrics, it’s the kind of song you can power through by riding the rhythm—perfect for karaoke.
Don’t overthink it; if possible, sing it with a partner playing DJ KOO’s role—you’re sure to have a great time!
Blizzard of Blossoms of a WomanOka Midori
This is a Reiwa-era life-encouragement song by Midori Oka, renowned for her mysterious enka style, showcasing powerful kindness and brightness! “Onna no Hana Fubuki” is the B-side to “Kami no Tsuru,” released in February 2019, and it’s a masterpiece that lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.
It’s perfect for wrapping up a karaoke session, as well as for farewell parties or New Year’s gatherings.
It’s classic, straight-down-the-middle enka, so those accustomed to the genre should be able to sing it smoothly.
Overall, the pitch is high and the range is wide, so if you’re new to enka, try breaking it into parts—A melody, B melody, and chorus—and focus your practice on the sections you find most challenging.
Melody for TomorrowOka Midori
Tomorrow’s Melody is a pop ballad that steps beyond the realm of enka and kayōkyoku.
Released in 2021, it became a landmark song that opened a new chapter for Midori Oka.
Composed by Minoru Komorita (credited as “Komorita Minoru”), who has crafted many classics including SMAP’s major hits like Dynamite and Lion Heart, its poignant yet powerful melody will feel familiar to those who often sing J-pop at karaoke.
Among Oka’s songs, this one has a relatively narrow vocal range and doesn’t feature drastic melodic leaps, so once you learn the tune, it should be easy to sing.
After that, try to focus on expressing the emotional nuances—just like Oka does!
