[Calling all low-voiced women in their 40s!] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs (61–70)

Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko

Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko

Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.

In that case, I recommend Fade Out.

This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.

You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.

The very long rests also make it easy to perform.

threadNakajima Miyuki

Since her debut in 1975, Miyuki Nakajima has produced numerous hit songs as a genius singer-songwriter, all the while maintaining a mysterious, solitary presence that continues to shine even in the Reiwa era.

Among her many masterpieces, Ito is one of her most famous songs, first appearing on the 1992 album EAST ASIA.

From the 2010s onward, it was used as background music on television programs, boosting its household recognition, and in 2020 a film inspired by the song was released—testament to its immeasurable influence.

Of course, it’s challenging to capture the expressive nuance that someone like Nakajima brings, but the melody line is easy to sing, so in terms of karaoke difficulty it’s relatively low—making it a great choice for those aiming for a high score.

NO TITLISTMiyazawa Rie

Rie Miyazawa’s classic song “NO TITLIST.” Since Miyazawa is not primarily a singer by trade, most of her released tracks are organized around simple vocal lines.

This work is no exception, featuring a very easy progression that anyone can sing.

The structure, which steadily ramps up in energy, is striking, but once the chorus begins the excitement settles down.

As a result, the vocal range stays compact, making it a song that even women with lower voices can sing without any trouble.

I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki

As an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Maki Ohguro has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.

She began performing in bands in high school and made her debut in 1992.

Since then, she has colored the music scene with songs rooted in pop while embracing a wide range of genres, including rock and R&B.

Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she won the Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards and the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.

After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be energetically active today.

Her world, conveyed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate deeply, is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the strength and warmth that music can offer.

Tokyo at 7 p.m.Pizzicato Five

Pizzicato Five, often called the pioneers of the Shibuya-kei scene.

Their signature is dance pop infused with house, delivering a stylish sound that pairs catchy hooks with an edgy flair.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Tokyo wa Yoru no Shichiji (Tokyo at 7 p.m.).

Since it’s dance music, you might think the rhythm is tricky, but house is based on a four-on-the-floor beat—the easiest kind to follow—so there’s no need to worry.

The vocal line rises and falls gently, and the overall range is quite narrow, meaning anyone, regardless of their voice type, can sing it lightly and confidently.

My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeHiramatsu Eri

Eri Hiramatsu’s biggest hit song, “Room, White Shirt, and Me.” If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

Because Eri Hiramatsu’s vocal range is quite high, many people may think this song requires a wide range.

In reality, it’s simply sung in a high register, and the overall range isn’t broad.

Even women with lower voices should be able to sing it well if they adjust to a suitable key.

The vocal line itself is simple, so be sure to find a key that fits you and give it a try.

PIECE OF MY WISHImai Miki

Miki Imai is an artist who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.

She started her career as an actress and, after fully shifting to singing, produced numerous classic songs.

Among them, the work I especially recommend is “PIECE OF MY WISH.” While this song spans a somewhat wide vocal range, the vocal line is very simple and the pitch movements are gentle.

It’s high enough to let you sing with a slightly higher voice, yet still manageable even for women with lower voices, making it a great choice for those who want to sing just a bit higher than usual.
