[Calling all low-voiced women in their 40s!] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs (21–30)

For those in their early 40s, songs from the 1990s are likely more memorable than those from the late 1980s.

Among female singer-songwriters who made a big splash in the ’90s, one track by Cocco that I especially recommend is “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).

This piece features a rhythm with a bounce reminiscent of reggae, while the vocal line maintains an ennui-like quality.

The song has a relatively narrow vocal range and contains no phrases that require sudden jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing for people with any kind of voice.

Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who is also active as a musical theater composer.

Released in 2025, her song “Pledge” centers on the theme of accepting oneself as they are, and an emotional atmosphere permeates the entire piece.

The song features a lot of low-register passages and a relatively narrow vocal range overall.

While this means you need to sing it with emotional nuance, it is still, fundamentally, a song that’s easy to perform.

It’s a track with an authentic electro, dance-beat-driven sound where the groove of the rhythm and vocals is key.

It may seem difficult when you first listen, but once you get the feel for the rhythm, you’ll be fine.

By the way, for this song it’s easier to lock into the groove by counting on the off-beats rather than the typical downbeats.

Instead of counting “1, 2, 3, 4,” count “1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and.” The “and” in between are the off-beats.

If you’re not used to it, you might start to drift over time, but try to get past that.

Also, the vocal range isn’t that high, so you can sing it lightly without tensing up.

At first, it’s fine to connect everything and sing it smoothly as one flow.

Definitely try to catch this groove and enjoy Hikaru Utada’s song!

My Little Lover’s famed song “Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Always Been~” garnered nationwide popularity.

Adhering to orthodox pop conventions, this piece keeps the vocal range compact throughout.

Because the melodic rises and falls are very gentle, it isn’t particularly low, but as long as you choose the right key, even women in their 40s with lower voices should find it easy to sing.

It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Kiss me right nowLINDBERG

LINDBERG is a rock band that was hugely successful in the 1990s.

Known for their energetic, upbeat pop-rock sound, the group has produced many classic songs.

Among them, “Ima Sugu Kiss Me” stands out as a particularly memorable piece.

While the song leans toward pop rock and maintains tremendous energy throughout, it surprisingly doesn’t feature sustained long notes in the mid-to-high or higher registers.

The overall vocal range isn’t especially wide, so even women with lower voices should be able to sing it comfortably in an appropriate key.

Sukima Switch’s classic “Kanade” gets as high as A#4 toward the latter half, so it may seem difficult, but the first half stays in the low–mid range (D3–A#4), making it a great choice for lower-voiced women as well.

It’s a song almost everyone knows, so it’s definitely one to add to your repertoire! If you’re not used to the chorus range yet, it’s fine to lower the key a bit.

It’s absolutely better to sing in a key that’s comfortable for you than to force the original key, so try finding the key that suits your voice.

The key point is to sing gently.

Riding on the back of a silver dragonNakajima Miyuki

Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For women in their 30s, you might remember it as the theme song of the drama Dr.

Coto.

Although the passionate vocal delivery is striking, the song’s range is surprisingly narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without trouble.

The vocal line itself is simple, but because the song has fairly strong dynamics, be careful not to start off singing too loudly.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
