Lovely karaoke song

Famous songs we’d like women in their 40s to sing, by age group

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

For women in their 40s, what do you sing at karaoke?

There are probably all kinds of options—latest hits, personal favorites, or your go-to “signature” songs that you always sing—but I’m sure many people also feel, “I don’t know what I should sing.”

For those people, we’ve picked out songs we’d love to see women in their 40s try.

If you have a rock-solid go-to track ready for when you go to karaoke or when someone asks you to sing something, it’ll definitely give you confidence!

This work was woven by Ringo Sheena in her youthful days at seventeen.

It deftly portrays the feelings of a narrator whose lover wants to take photos while she resists the act, as well as her complicated thoughts about the word “absolute,” capturing the fundamental anxieties and conflicts surrounding love.

Released in January 2000, it drew attention as an advance single for the album “Shōso Strip” and won the Excellence Award at the 42nd Japan Record Awards that same year.

While melodic, its powerful, rock-based sound stands apart from ballads that whisper of love in hushed tones.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who continues to explore the shape of love.

DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina

DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina

Akina Nakamori is an idol with a mature aura that’s rare among today’s idols.

While people in their 40s may not be her direct generation, many households likely had siblings or parents who were obsessed with her.

Among her songs, “DESIRE -Jounetsu-” is one I especially recommend.

It does require a somewhat advanced sense of phrasing, but since it doesn’t go into high notes and, aside from the end of the chorus, doesn’t feature long sustained tones, it’s very easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their pitch.
