Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (41–50)
ButterflyKōda Kumi
Among Kumi Koda’s songs, “Butterfly” stands out as an especially passionate work.
It fully showcases her signature ‘sexy-cool’ style, featuring a distinctive melody that blends Latin flavors and 2-step with a touch of kayōkyoku.
The range spans mid1 D# to hi C#, leaning lower overall, but the pitch movement isn’t excessively dramatic.
That said, it does incorporate elements like vibrato, hiccups, and edgy falls, so a certain level of finesse and technical nuance is required.
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.
i love youchanmina
A song written for the TBS Friday drama “Fake Mommy,” released in October 2025.
If you’ve been watching the show, it probably sounds familiar—you might even find yourself humming along! Although this track doesn’t include any rap, it still conveys Chanmina’s world through clear R&B and hip-hop elements.
Rather than a belting style, the song mainly features breathy, whisper-like vocals.
Even if you’re not confident in your singing, you can pull it off stylishly if you make good use of your breath.
First, the basics of singing start with diaphragmatic breathing, so relax, breathe, and let your voice out.
If your chest lifts when you inhale, it becomes chest breathing and you won’t be able to take in as much air.
Overall, staying relaxed is key!
appearsHamasaki Ayumi
A song released in 1999 as Ayumi Hamasaki’s 11th single.
It’s a track whose lyrics convey depth—suggesting that even couples who appear happy to others may carry various feelings inside.
It was a strictly limited-edition single of 300,000 copies released simultaneously with her second album, LOVEppears, and was used in the Kao “SOFINA AUBE Christmas” TV commercial.
Poem of SunlightLe Couple
This is Le Couple’s “Hidamari no Uta,” which left a strong impression on many people after being used in the hugely popular TV drama Under One Roof 2.
The lyrics’ sense of modesty perfectly matches the song’s atmosphere.
Please sing it with a delicate, heartrending touch!
Pure Love RhapsodyTakeuchi Mariya
Pure Love Rhapsody, a song used as the theme for the 1994 drama “Be the You from When We Met,” is also one of Mariya Takeuchi’s signature tracks.
For women who watched the show, it might be a familiar favorite! Although the song is actually about an affair, the lyrics are so straightforward that you can’t help but relate.
The melody is cute, too, and I think it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
Women of the same generation might find themselves saying, “Oh, this takes me back!”
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!
