[Calling all low-voiced women in their 40s!] Songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

Have you ever felt like you “can’t sing it because the range is too high” at karaoke? For women with lower voices, songs with high keys aren’t just uncomfortable to sing—they also make choosing songs a challenge.

But don’t worry.

In this article, we introduce a wide variety of songs with comfortable ranges that you can sing without strain, even if your voice is on the lower side! From nostalgic classics to the latest hits, find the perfect song that matches your voice!

[Calling all low-voiced women in their 40s!] Karaoke-friendly songs (41–50)

LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

Dreams Come Ture/LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜
LAT,43˚ N 〜Forty-three degrees north latitude〜DREAMS COME TRUE

One of the most popular musical units among women in their 40s is DREAMS COME TRUE.

Although they’ve produced many classic songs, they’re also known for having many high-difficulty tracks, which might make it hard to add them to your repertoire.

That’s why we recommend “LAT, 43˚ N — Forty-three Degrees North Latitude.” For a DCT song, the vocal range is quite narrow, and there aren’t any complex vocal lines.

There are relatively few breathing points, so just be mindful of that when you sing.

ChaO!Kōda Kumi

ChaO! is more about the groove than the singing itself.

If you just let your body move and sing with full energy, you’ll find it consistently fun—so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid2 range, but if you’re really riding the groove, they should come out naturally.

Don’t overthink it—keep it relaxed.

At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyric line or hold the long tone.

Either way sounds cool, so go with whichever you’d rather sing!

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.

The Ten CommandmentsAdo

When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.

In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.

Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.

That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Yuming’s “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara” is the theme song for the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, and it has a nostalgic feel, doesn’t it? I’ve sung this one at karaoke too, and since the opening notes are quite low, it might be an easier song for people who are good with low ranges to stay on pitch.

When you sing it, make sure to keep a solid sense of 4/4 time so the rhythm doesn’t slip.

Also, the arrangement builds toward the latter half, so if you pay attention to dynamics and project your voice clearly into the mic, you’ll get nice contrast—and I highly recommend it!

SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – 「SNOW DANCE」
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.

For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.

Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.

Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.

Give it a try for reference.

Face the changeEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing is a music duo that still enjoys enduring popularity today.

“Face the change” is an early-career work of theirs, characterized by distinctly ’90s synthesizers and a somewhat rock-tinged vocal line.

That said, it doesn’t feature shouty phrases, and the vocal range stays relatively narrow.

The rhythm is simple as well, so if you can maintain steady, full-bodied tone on sustained notes, it will likely come across as skillful.
