Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks that are popular with men
Women in their 40s are often busy with family and work and may not have been to karaoke for a long time.
When it finally comes time to go, some might think, “I don’t even know what to sing!” You might worry that chasing too many songs from younger generations isn’t quite right, but going all-in on oldies might not feel right either—and there’s the concern about how the men you’re with will react.
Here, we’ll introduce a mix of songs, both new and old, with a slight focus on what tends to go over well with men.
There are probably songs you listened to a lot in your youth, or ones from a different generation that still stayed with you.

Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks popular with men (21–30)
instinctShiina Ringo
If you’re a woman in your 40s, Shiina Ringo is a karaoke must, isn’t she? Her song Honnou was released as a single in 1999, and the music video—where she wears a nurse’s outfit and holds a megaphone—became a hot topic, leaving a strong impression even today.
When it comes to women’s karaoke songs, they tend to be love songs, and Honnou is a love song too, but at the time of its release it stood apart from the rest—it really hit hard.
Sing it with full power and swagger, with that rolling, forceful delivery!
Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko
Hiroko Yakushimaru’s “Sailor Suit and Machine Gun.” It was the theme song for the film of the same name in which Yakushimaru starred at the time, and it became a huge hit, known across generations.
Her singing voice remains as wonderful as ever.
Since the main melody is familiar and mostly repeats, many people can probably sing it even if a microphone suddenly comes their way without any preparation.
It’s one of those songs that gives you a comforting sense of familiarity that everyone shares.
HeyPerfume
Performing a perfect copy of Perfume’s songs—including the choreography—is quite a challenge, but with “Nee,” you can get the crowd going just by adding a touch of the chorus’s signature moves.
It’s a song I’d love for adult women to try.
And if you can throw in some steps too, be sure to showcase it on a big stage like a year-end party, New Year’s party, or a welcome party!
My RevolutionWatanabe Misato
“My Revolution,” Misato Watanabe’s debut and signature song.
It’s one of those tracks that has stood by us in every scene since the ’80s—when we want to encourage a junior, hype things up, or fire ourselves up.
I’m sure the chorus would turn into a full-on sing-along at karaoke with people of the same generation—truly a perfect karaoke song.
Second LoveNakamori Akina
As a song to have ready for when the mic suddenly comes your way, you can’t go wrong practicing Akina Nakamori’s music.
She was well known for her vocal ability even back then, and it’s easy to see why she has so many fans regardless of gender.
Among her songs, “Second Love” doesn’t have drastic key changes, making it one of the easier tracks to sing while still sounding impressive.
No.1Nishino Kana
Kana Nishino, who is especially popular among women, expresses authentic feelings of love.
Her songs are also karaoke favorites—before you know it, someone’s singing one.
The track “No.1,” included on the 2015 best-of album “Secret Collection ~GREEN~,” was also the theme song for the drama “Okitegami Kyoko no Biboroku” starring Yui Aragaki.
The song portrays the slightly frustrating feelings of a “grown-up crush,” making it very relatable and reminding you of romances you might have had.
Love songs tend to go over well with men too, and Kana Nishino’s tracks are a surefire hit!
The Girl Who Leapt Through TimeHarada Tomoyo
Tomoyo Harada has also released a self-cover in a slightly lower key than the original.
She’s one of those actresses whose radiance hasn’t changed then or now, and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” is her signature and biggest hit song.
It seems there are karaoke versions in slower tempos, like bossa nova, so please give it a try and sing it.
