Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (171–180)
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.
1/2Kawamoto Makoto
A timeless youth anthem where aching tenderness overflows and the acoustic guitar rings with comforting warmth.
The lyrics delicately portray a powerful desire to become one with the other person, and the frustration of that wish not coming true—gently embracing the kind of love everyone has felt.
Seamlessly blending Makoto Kawamoto’s translucent vocals with her distinctive worldview, the song reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart after its release in March 1997.
As the opening theme of the anime Rurouni Kenshin, it left a lasting mark on many hearts.
It’s a heartwarming track you’ll want to listen to when you want to connect with pure feelings, thinking of someone special.
Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko
Many people in their late forties may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.
In that case, I recommend this song, “Fade Out.” It features the heavy synthesizers typical of the late 1980s.
You might think of it as dance music, but the vocal line is a gentle blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.
The very long rests also make it easier to perform.
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.
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.
