[By Age Group] Famous Songs We’d Like Women in Their 40s to Sing (21–30)

Love SongGO!GO!7188

This is the third single by GO!GO!7188, a three-piece rock band that fused a wide range of musical styles into an alternative sound with melodies evoking a Japanese aesthetic.

They were especially popular among younger listeners, though the band disbanded in 2012.

The song’s simple yet emotional arrangement—beginning with a chorus accompanied only by vocals and guitar—creates a nostalgic atmosphere throughout.

The lyrics, which conjure the image of someone recoiling even as they think of the one they love, may strike men as capturing a woman’s endearing vulnerability.

Though tinged with sadness, its solid rock sound is satisfying, making it a recommended rock ballad for women in their forties.

CHE.R.RYYUI

At the time of her debut, she was hailed as “the second Yutaka Ozaki” and “an angel with a harp-like voice.” Singer-songwriter YUI, known for her exceptional expressiveness and musical sensibility, has released numerous hit songs, and this is her eighth single.

True to the tagline “A spring song like a sweet-and-sour fruit,” the lyrics are sprinkled with contemporary expressions, making it a catchy pop number.

The message—singing about feelings so strong there’s no room for games—will likely make anyone’s heart flutter, regardless of gender.

It’s a refreshing love story that brings back memories of youth, making it a perfect pick for springtime karaoke.

For women in their 40s who aren’t comfortable with high notes, Nanase Aikawa’s “Koigokoro” should be easy to sing! The overall range is fairly wide, from F3 to C#5, but if you like rock, it’s highly recommended—it’s a song you can sing with drive and emotion.

Of course, pitch is important when singing, but for a song like this, really locking into the rhythm matters too.

If you ride the rhythm, your melody line and timing will line up, and your pitch will naturally fall into place.

So rather than focusing too much on matching pitch, it’s best to prioritize staying solidly in the groove.

Also, enunciate clearly and your voice will come out confidently.

Since you’re singing, I want you to project your voice and enjoy singing comfortably!

Give me a ShakeMAX

Give me a Shake, a masterpiece of Japanese Eurobeat released in 1997.

It’s a famous song by MAX, needless to say, and it also incorporates elements of Black music, which were still rare in Japanese pop at the time.

Despite that, the vocal line is very easy to sing.

While the range is wide—mid1D to hiF—there are few long notes, and the melodic movement is very gentle.

The tempo also has some breathing room, so as long as you keep the groove in mind, it’s a song that will come together quite well.

LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – LOVE LOVE LOVE (from THE DREAM QUEST TOUR 2017 Live Ver.)
LOVE LOVE LOVEDREAMS COME TRUE

LOVE LOVE LOVE, a famous song by DREAMS COME TRUE released in 1995.

If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The song’s vocal range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which is relatively narrow for a DCT track.

The tempo is very relaxed, and the melodic movement is gentle, so as long as you’ve memorized the vocal line well, you’re unlikely to go off pitch.

However, because the slow tempo leads to more long notes, it’s advisable to master diaphragmatic breathing to maintain stable vocal production.
