[By Age Group] Famous Songs We’d Like Women in Their 40s to Sing (21–30)
BELIEVEMISIA
For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.
Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.
Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.
PRIDEImai Miki
Miki Imai is a singer with a background as an actor, voice actor, and narrator, who moved to the United Kingdom in 2012.
Her 12th single “PRIDE,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Doc, is known as her biggest hit.
The lyrics express the feelings of being in love not passively, but with pride—something that likely struck a chord in real time with many in their 40s, the generation of the song’s heyday.
With its relaxed melody that makes it easy to sing, it’s an emotional number that remains popular in karaoke.
By Age Group: Famous Songs I’d Like Women in Their 40s to Sing (31–40)
I want to be happy.Uchida Yuki
Yuki Uchida has been active as an actress for many years.
Younger people might not know this, but for many women in their 40s, she also leaves a strong impression as a musical artist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase ni Naritai” (“I Want to Be Happy”).
While the melody has some noticeable rises and falls, the overall tempo is relaxed, so you should be able to follow the pitch without trouble.
The vocal range is also narrow, making it a good choice to sing even when your voice is starting to tire at a second party.
Be sure to check it out.
appearsHamasaki Ayumi
If you came of age in the late 1990s to early 2000s, there’s a good chance you looked up to Ayumi Hamasaki as a role model.
In Japan’s music scene, she ranks first among female solo artists in total CD sales, and with her charismatic presence—including her fashion—she sparked the “Ayu” boom.
Many of her songs feature soaring high tones one after another, which might make some people feel hesitant about singing them.
For those people, we recommend “appears,” released in 1999.
Compared to her other tracks, its melody has fewer wide interval jumps, so even those with lower voices will find it easier to sing at karaoke if they adjust the key.
A Bouquet of Kisses in the RainImai Miki
Miki Imai’s famous song “A Bouquet of Kisses in the Rain.” The composition is by singer-songwriter KAN, and it features a soft, unornamented melody.
Because it’s sung by Miki Imai, many people may feel it’s high, but in reality the vocal range isn’t that wide, and there are no sudden high passages.
As long as you sing it in your proper key, you should be able to handle every part without any trouble.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
When I was on the verge of losing the meaning of life, meeting the one I love made my heart shine… JUJU’s heartwarming rock ballad is cherished by people of all generations.
Released in February 2009 as the theme song for a collaborative project between MTV Japan and Nissan, the track’s chorus expresses unconditional love and gratitude, like an eternal vow to someone precious.
The next time you go to karaoke with that intriguing man in his 40s, why not share your feelings through this song?
