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

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.

Hello, my friendMatsutōya Yumi

As one of the most important artists in Japanese music history, Yuming—Yumi Matsutoya—is a name that invariably comes up.

Each generation has songs by Yuming that hold special meaning, but many women in their 40s today will likely think of her hits from the 1990s.

From the standpoint of being easy to sing at karaoke, I recommend Hello, my friend.

Released in 1994 as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Kimi to Ita Natsu (A Summer with You), it was a massive hit that sold over a million copies.

While it’s packed with that quintessential Yuming flavor, the melody unfolds very straightforwardly and is easy to sing.

There are no particularly challenging high notes or sustained long notes, so with a bit of practice, you can probably expect a high score at karaoke.

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.

TEARS ~Within Time...Ganaha Mina

Mina Ganaha is a female singer-songwriter from Amami Oshima, known for her smooth vocals and popular in the 2000s.

Among her works, a particular recommendation is “TEARS: In the Flow of Time.” While the melody is somewhat serious, the vocal range isn’t especially wide, and the pitch movement is gentle throughout, making for an easy-to-sing vocal line.

If you use your jaw a bit more and aim for a slightly more masculine singing style, you can get closer to the feel of the original, so give it a try for reference.

Miho Morikawa is an artist who gained popularity for her cool vocal timbre and stable vocal performance—so much so that it’s hard to believe she started as an idol.

Her signature song “Blue Water” is famous as the theme song for the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and has attracted a great deal of popularity.

Although it’s a powerful piece, the vocal range is actually narrow, and the melody line has relatively few ups and downs, making it easier to sing than it sounds.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.
