Easy-to-sing karaoke songs [Classic picks for women in their 40s] (21–30)
A Little LoveNEW!Pucchimoni
Petitmoni, a unit symbolizing the golden era of Hello! Project.
Spun off from Morning Musume and formed by Kei Yasuda, Sayaka Ichii, and Maki Goto, their debut single “Chokotto LOVE” was released in November 1999.
Topping the Oricon charts and selling over a million copies, this pop dance tune comically captures the flutter of everyday little romances.
Its rhythmic, light melody is guaranteed to hype up karaoke sessions with women of the same generation.
Mix in the catchy chorus choreography you probably imitated from TV, and have fun singing it together just like back in the day.
youKōda Kumi
The song “you,” crafted as a ballad centered on vocals and piano, was released in 2005 and is known as one of Kumi Koda’s finest ballads.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 E to hi B.
The pitch movement is gentle, and at 77 BPM the tempo is very relaxed.
While that makes it harder to hide imperfections, overall it’s a very singable song.
Be sure to check it out.
Broken-winged angelNakamura Ayumi
Released in 1985, “Tsubasa no Orareta Angel” is striking for its themes of teenage growth and inner conflict, the gap between dreams and reality, and emotional scars and growth.
The song is often thought to be hard to sing because of its powerful vocals.
In fact, while the vocals do convey strength, the range is not very wide—mid1 F# to high D—and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme.
It also doesn’t require fancy techniques, so as long as you stay on pitch and focus on vocal power, anyone can make it work.
White kiteMy Little Lover
For women in their 40s, many probably spent their youth with My Little Lover! Speaking of My Little Lover, “Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~” was a huge hit, but “Shiroi Kite” is also a great pick for karaoke! It’s not only easy to sing, but its cute, glittering sound and refreshing melody are absolutely wonderful.
I definitely recommend singing it at summer karaoke! It’s a song that feels nostalgic yet still resonates with how we feel today.
StoryAI
AI is a singer-songwriter who continues to captivate fans with soulful songs delivered in a husky mid-to-low register.
Since its release, her 12th single “Story” has landed numerous tie-ins and became a hit that introduced AI to a wide range of listeners.
With a moderately low key and a relaxed tempo, it’s easy to try at karaoke.
It’s an emotional ballad that, when sung earnestly by a woman in her 40s, is sure to draw listeners in.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS is a five-member rock band also known as the most successful girl band in J-POP history.
“M,” included as the B-side to their 7th single “Diamonds,” has continued to be covered by many musicians and remains a beloved hit that rivals the A-side.
Its sentimental lyrics set to a relaxed shuffle beat may bring back personal memories for women in their 40s when they sing it.
Widely known across generations, it’s an enduring love song that’s easy to choose for karaoke.
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
For women in their 40s, virtually everyone will have experienced the social phenomenon that was the Heisei-era songstress Namie Amuro.
Her 9th single, “CAN YOU CELEBRATE?,” written as the theme song for the TV drama Virgin Road, is widely known across generations as a wedding standard.
Its swiftly shifting arrangement within a single track makes it great fun to sing at karaoke, too.
Be sure not to get left behind by the changing rhythms—this is Namie Amuro’s biggest hit tune.
