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!

[By Age] Famous songs we’d like women in their 40s to sing (11–20)

ENDLESS STORYREIRA starring YUNA ITO

Yuna Ito’s debut single “ENDLESS STORY.” It’s nostalgic that she was still credited as REIRA starring YUNA ITO.

This work is crafted as a ballad with a strong infusion of Western pop elements.

Since it’s a song by an overseas songwriter, some ad-libs inevitably appear, but they aren’t the quick, repeatedly rising-and-falling R&B-style riffs, so it’s relatively easy to sing for this kind of song.

If falsetto is difficult for you, try centering your approach on mixed voice.

The Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – Future Prediction Map II ~VERSION '07~ (from Live from DWL 2015 Live Ver.)
The Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE

A song by the male–female duo DREAMS COME TRUE, who captivate fans with hook-filled tracks that distill funk and soul into J-pop and with a commanding vocal performance that brings that musicality to the fullest.

Despite not being an A-side single, it has become widely known among listeners of all ages and is especially recognized as a quintessential love song for women in their 40s—the generation it belongs to.

True to its title, the lyrics evoke a vision of the future and are likely to put even men in a romantic mood.

With its spacious sound and gentle melody, it’s a timeless classic cherished across generations.

This is the 17th single by LiSA, a singer whose expressive range—from cool to cute—captivates fans and varies widely depending on the song.

Chosen as the theme song for the record-breaking animated film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, it became such a hit that it sparked a social phenomenon.

The melody unfolds with dynamic contrast, from delicate verses to a powerful chorus, and that expressive rise and fall will draw listeners in even at karaoke.

It’s a karaoke number that gets the guys fired up, and one I especially want women to sing with style.

A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko

This is the 11th single by singer Yoko Takahashi, who built experience in choirs and bands and even worked as a backup vocalist for major artists before her major debut.

Although it was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, which became a social phenomenon, it’s a famous song recognized even by listeners unfamiliar with the anime.

Its catchy phrases and powerful melody make it a hit at karaoke, appealing as cool even from a male perspective.

While it’s a challenging song, it’s a karaoke classic that women in their 40s—the generation it belongs to—are especially encouraged to sing.

Written for her best friend’s wedding, the song was also used in a commercial for the wedding magazine Zexy, and it’s now known as a staple BGM choice at modern weddings.

Its arrangement blends the magical tones of harpsichord and organ with a pop-rock sound—perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke.

With its cute melody, it’s a wedding song men also support, and one they’d love to hear women sing.
