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.
But in the end, I hope you find songs that you can sing comfortably and enjoyably—without worrying too much about what others think!

Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks popular with men (21–30)
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai
With the comedy duo Nyanko Star bringing it back into the spotlight, Ai Otsuka’s “Sakuranbo” is getting renewed attention.
When classmates or peers from the era when the song was a hit get together and sing it at karaoke, it always turns into a lively, high-energy party track.
Like Nyanko Star’s gag, it might even be fun to skip singing the chorus and just dance to it (lol).
It’s a timeless karaoke staple—pop, bright, and a perfect example of a cute song.
Killer tuneToukyou Jihen
Tokyo Jihen’s “Killer Tune.” This song is very high in key and fairly challenging, but if you nail it and perform it flawlessly, it’s undeniably cool.
It gives off the vibe of being one step ahead as a sophisticated woman.
One thing to watch out for: don’t make it seem like you practiced endlessly to perfect it—keep it understated, not overdone.
Just sing it smoothly and effortlessly!
Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks that men like (31–40)
Counting YouBoA & Tohoshinki
A song released exclusively for digital distribution on October 20, 2025, it’s a grand ballad that portrays a bittersweet, mature love.
It’s a memorable piece that will resonate with empathy and depth when sung by women in their 40s at karaoke.
BoA’s transparent vocals intertwine exquisitely with TVXQ’s warm, embracing voices, and the three-part harmony matches beautifully.
With a relatively narrow vocal range and a relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing without pressure—highly recommended.
Focus on using steady breath support and singing each phrase carefully and deliberately.
SEASONSHamasaki Ayumi
Ayumi Hamasaki’s “Seasons” is a song that feels wonderful to sing.
Deliver it with confidence and captivate everyone in the moment.
There are many hit songs by so-called “divas” like Namie Amuro, Mika Nakashima, and Kumi Koda, and they’re hugely popular among women.
But if you’re thinking about what appeals to men as well, Ayumi Hamasaki really stands out as a defining artist of her era.
Farewell, my beloved sorrowsMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
This is a song that grown-up women can totally nail and look awesome singing: Momoiro Clover Z’s “Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimitachi yo.” It might be good to lower the key a bit in advance, but if you sing it with a “I can still go further, got a problem with that?” vibe, it’ll definitely be cool.
Momoclo is known across a wide age range, from kids to adults, and they have lots of fun songs, so be sure to try singing their other tracks too.
Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE
Among women in their 40s, there are surely many who want to sing DREAMS COME TRUE! While many DCT songs feature repeated high notes, “Thank You.” stays relatively within the mid range.
The overall vocal range is E3–C#5.
It’s more rhythm-focused than high-note-focused.
With a tempo of 127, it’s neither too fast nor too slow, making it easy to sing.
When you sing it, try to keep a conversational, natural feel.
For the occasional high notes, be mindful of the accents—think of attacking each note one by one.
Clearly pronouncing the vowels will also make the high notes easier to hit! The key modulates upward in the latter half, but try not to overthink it and sing it comfortably.
Snow, Moon, and FlowersKudō Shizuka
Right after going solo, Shizuka Kudo also incorporated a pop style, but as her career progressed, her songs increasingly took on a sharp, stylish edge.
“Yuki, Tsuki, Hana” falls into the latter category: while it retains a touch of Showa-era flavor, it maintains a stylish atmosphere throughout.
The song generally sits in a lower range, and the vocal line is calm with little fluctuation, but be mindful of the brief falsetto that appears in the chorus.
Rather than forcing a falsetto, the key is to adjust your pitch so the voice flips naturally.
