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 that are popular with men (41–50)

Farewell, my beloved sorrowsMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

[Momoiro Clover Z MV] Farewell, My Beloved Sorrows / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / Saraba Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachiyo)
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.

IT’S ALL RIGHTDaikoku Maki

For women in their 40s, when it comes to singer-songwriters who give you courage and energy, isn’t Maki Ohguro the first name that comes to mind? She’s released many classic songs, but among them, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “IT’S ALL RIGHT.” It’s renowned as a hidden gem: despite its sharp, powerful vocals, the vocal line has a narrow range and relatively few ups and downs.

Many people may find it surprisingly easy to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Moon DropsRUI (Shibasaki Kou)

KO SHIBASAKI CONCERT TOUR 2019 “EARTH THE KO” - Tsuki no Shizuku | Ko Shibasaki
Moon DropsRUI (Shibasaki Kou)

A signature song by Kou Shibasaki that delicately portrays a heartrending love.

Used as both an insert song and the theme song for the film “Yomigaeri,” it generated major buzz upon its release in January 2003.

It debuted at No.

14 on the Oricon Singles Chart and later reached No.

1, becoming a huge hit with sales of around 830,000 copies.

Over a quiet, gentle melody, Shibasaki’s soft vocals mourn a lost love, resonating deeply with listeners.

The lyrics compellingly express the bittersweet feelings of a woman in love.

Sing it at karaoke, and those around you will surely relate and the mood will rise.

go for it!DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE「go for it!」
go for it!DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE is a duo supported by people of all generations, not just those in their 40s.

Because their music is rooted in Black music, many of their songs are challenging, but of course there are also simpler ones.

The one I recommend is go for it!.

While the melody is somewhat unconventional, the vocal range is narrow and there are no sudden jumps in pitch, making it one of the easiest DREAMS COME TRUE songs to sing.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Kiss me right nowLINDBERG

If you’re a grown woman who doesn’t really know the latest songs, there’s no need to force yourself to match younger colleagues’ vibes or pick from what’s trendy now.

LINDBERG’s “Ima Sugu Kiss Me” still feels fresh today; it’s upbeat and on the shorter side, so when the chorus hits, pump your fist cutely and sing it out.

Especially for people who know the song, the chorus is guaranteed to get everyone hyped!

The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto

Makoto Kawamoto, known as a pioneer among guitar-playing female singers, has left us with many great songs.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for women in their 40s because it’s easy to sing is “Ai no Sainō” (The Talent for Love).

Since singer-songwriter Yasuyuki Okamura composed it, the track leans a bit toward groove, but the vocal range is narrow, so the overall difficulty is fairly low.

If you lock into the rhythm, you can likely aim for a high score at karaoke.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

flowerL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

People in their 40s are also the generation that experienced the dawn of the visual kei movement.

Among them, many have likely listened to L’Arc〜en〜Ciel.

Their song “flower” is not only popular but also particularly easy to sing.

While the vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high B and is fairly wide, it doesn’t feature long sequences of high notes, so as long as you can hit the high notes in the moment, you should be able to sing it without issue.

For an even better performance, it’s recommended to incorporate some breathy tones.
