Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (41–50)
Timing ~Timing~Burakku Bisukettsu
With its catchy melody and memorable lyrics, Black Biscuits’ song charmingly conveys the universal theme of “timing” over a light, upbeat rhythm.
Released in April 1998, it reached No.
2 on the Oricon charts and became a massive hit, selling around two million copies.
The group also performed on the year-end Kouhaku Uta Gassen, instantly drawing widespread attention.
It’s an easy-to-sing pop tune that’s perfect for livening up a get-together with friends, and it’s also a great pick when you want to feel bright and positive.
DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina
If you’re heading to karaoke pumped to sing your heart out, Akina Nakamori’s hit “DESIRE” is a top recommendation.
It’s a song packed with the coolness and sensuality that many women admire.
Start with a low, mysterious A-melody, then switch to a passionate, powerful delivery in the chorus—that contrast is key.
Adding variety within the song, like slipping in breathy lines here and there, will make your performance feel even more authentic.
Channel your inner Akina Nakamori and go for it!
To the futureKiroro
Kiroro’s classic song “Mirai e” (“To the Future”) was written by Chiharu Tamashiro when she was in her third year of junior high school, and its lyrics carry a warm message about moving toward the future and growing.
The gentle, tender harmonies woven by the two artists from Okinawa soothe the listener’s heart and inspire hope for tomorrow.
For those in their forties, it’s also recommended to sing this song while reminiscing about your younger days and holding love for someone dear in your heart.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s also exceptionally easy to sing.
Swallowtail Butterfly ~Song of Love~YEN TOWN BAND
“Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~” is the theme song of the film Swallowtail.
The movie starred Chara.
Although YEN TOWN BAND was a fictional band within the film, they actually made their debut in real life and reached No.
1 on the Oricon singles chart with this song.
It’s a slow-tempo track that’s very easy to sing, yet unforgettable once you hear it.
It carries a slightly lonely feeling, but I think it’s a wonderful song that brings to mind someone special.
I love you more than anyone.Furuchi Toko
This is the seventh single by singer-songwriter Toko Furuuchi, dubbed the “Goddess and Guru of Love” for her romance-themed songs that have garnered strong support, especially among women.
Used as an insert song for the TV drama ‘Watch Out for Us,’ it’s also known as one of Furuuchi’s signature numbers.
With a relaxed, piano-focused arrangement and no large melodic leaps, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a recommended karaoke pick for women in their 40s—sing it while savoring the bittersweet lyrics.
tearsfayray
This is the seventh single by singer-songwriter Fayray—currently also active under the name Mina Ohashi as a member of the music unit The Present.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Friends,” and its delicate ensemble featuring piano and acoustic guitar feels so pleasant.
With its relaxed tempo and not-too-high key, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a perfect pick for women in their 40s and sure to be a hit when singing with friends of the same generation.
PassionUA
This is the fourth single by UA, a female singer-songwriter who is also active as the vocalist of the rock band AJICO and has gained popularity with songs that bring a wide range of styles—soul, jazz, reggae, dub, electro, and world music—into J-POP.
Known as one of her signature tracks, it features an emotional, laid-back shuffle beat topped with her soulful vocals.
While the overall key isn’t very high, the melody includes many large intervals, and without locking into the beat it’s hard to create a groove, so be sure to listen closely to the original and practice before singing it at karaoke.
It’s a long-running hit that we especially recommend for women in their 40s, the generation it represents.
