Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (151–160)
On the day of departure…Kawashima Ai
A beautiful ballad by Ai Kawashima set in a spring classroom where cherry blossoms dance, depicting an eternal farewell and a promise to meet again.
Carried by gentle piano tones, memories with friends, hopes for the future, and feelings of gratitude are woven together with a clear, transparent voice.
Released in February 2006, the song was featured on TV programs and commercials, and has since become a beloved graduation classic.
It’s a piece that, along with nostalgic memories of classrooms and schoolyards, gives you the courage to take a new step forward.
Why not sing it while reflecting on your school days?
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!
The strong and fleeting onesCocco
For those in their early 40s, songs from the 1990s are likely more memorable than those from the late 1980s.
Among female singer-songwriters who made a big splash in the ’90s, one track by Cocco that I especially recommend is “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).
This piece features a rhythm with a bounce reminiscent of reggae, while the vocal line maintains an ennui-like quality.
The song has a relatively narrow vocal range and contains no phrases that require sudden jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing for people with any kind of voice.
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.
CANDY GIRLhitomi
Although many people associate hitomi most strongly with her success in the 2000s, she also left behind several great songs in the ’90s.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “CANDY GIRL.” It’s a track drenched in that quintessentially ’90s, flashy synthesizer sound, yet the vocal line is surprisingly understated.
It may feel like it sits in the higher register, but the overall range isn’t wide, so as long as you find the right key, it should be quite singable.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
