Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing: Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s (31–40)
For the momentEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is an artist that represents the Heisei era.
Some of you might have spent your youth with ELT’s music.
They’re known for a lot of high-pitched songs, but among them, “For the moment” has high notes mainly in part of the chorus, while the rest stays relatively within a comfortable range.
It also has a good groove, making it easier to sing.
In the high notes of the chorus, the melody climbs like steps, so building momentum is very important.
High notes are tough without enough breath, so where you breathe matters, too.
First, look through the lyrics and find where the high notes are.
Once you know the spots, try singing the melody so those parts become the accents.
It should be easier if you keep the rhythm while you sing!
Over DriveJUDY AND MARY
A four-member rock band whose fans never stop hoping for a reunion no matter how many years have passed since their breakup, JUDY AND MARY’s seventh single.
It’s one of the band’s signature songs, featured in numerous commercials and covered by other artists.
Released in 1995, it’s truly a generational anthem for many women in their 40s.
It’s a catchy and cute song that always livens up karaoke, but since the overall key is high, it’s recommended to lower it to a range that’s comfortable for you to sing.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
With its exquisite key and tempo that suit a wide range of singers, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a fun, confidence-boosting song for karaoke-loving women in their 40s.
The sophisticated melody and lyrics by Yumi Matsutoya have been loved across generations, and when paired with the comfortable accompaniment, you’ll feel as if the karaoke room instantly transforms into a magical summer world.
Enjoy a wonderful moment with this song, which is upbeat yet composed, and cherished by a broad audience.
My RevolutionWatanabe Misato
This is Misato Watanabe’s fourth single, released in 1986.
It’s one of her signature songs that became a major hit at the time—highly recognizable and guaranteed to energize any crowd—an anthem song.
In the chorus, there’s a section where the pitch rises and falls dramatically; that’s the key point for karaoke.
Whether you can pull off that part makes a big difference in the performance’s overall quality.
It topped the Oricon weekly chart, sold 445,000 copies, and remains popular as a representative number of the 1980s.
Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu
Pocket Biscuits is a musical unit that originated from the 1990s hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.
Unusually for a unit born from a TV project, they were active for five years, and at their peak they even held a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a strong, uplifting melody, but the vocal line itself is simple, repeating similar phrases.
In addition, the vocal range is relatively narrow, so women in their 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.
Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (41–50)
Aino Katachi feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)MISIA
The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.
HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.
This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.
Keep these two points in mind when singing.
First LoveUtada Hikaru
Singer Hikaru Utada delivers a unique sound to listeners, unbound by genre.
The title track of her 1999 album “First Love” became such a massive hit that it sparked a social phenomenon.
Those in their 40s may recall the music scene of the late 1990s.
It carries the mature atmosphere characteristic of R&B, and the chorus’s expansive melody is enough to bring you to tears.
It’s a perfect song for showcasing a smooth vocal that blends Japanese and English.
Why not try singing this ballad that can also spark conversations about memories from back then?
