[By Age Group] Famous Songs We’d Like Women in Their 40s to Sing (21–30)
The Door to TomorrowI WiSH
Released in 2003, this song became a big hit as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Ainori.” Its overall vocal range is A#3 to D5, and the chorus goes a bit higher, but the melody is very simple, making it easy to keep pitch and the lyrics are straightforward and easy to convey.
It’s often recommended even for karaoke beginners or those who struggle with pitch.
The lyrics are relatively dense and it’s sung almost continuously, so taking breaths at each phrase will help you avoid running out of breath and make it easier to sing.
While listening to the song, it might help to visualize, “I’ll breathe here.” The basic image is to sing lightly while staying relaxed.
Once you can hum lightly, try resonating in the same place and turn it into your singing voice.
If your throat stays comfortable the whole time, you’re good!
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.
I BELIEVEKahara Tomomi
A classic that colored the golden age of J-POP in the 1990s and remains beloved by many karaoke fans, this is one of Tomomi Kahala’s signature songs.
Released in October 1995 as her second single, it became a million seller and earned her numerous newcomer awards.
The dramatic sound crafted by Tetsuya Komuro harmonizes beautifully with the crisp winter air, and her soaring vocals resonate deeply with listeners.
Familiar as the CM song for Minami “JOY OF SPORTS,” it also appears in a different arrangement on the album LOVE BRACE.
If you forget the everyday and sing your heart out with the sparkle of those days in mind, you’re sure to feel refreshed!
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima, a singer who keeps growing her fan base with the contrast between her exotic looks and eccentric personality, released her 10th single “Yuki no Hana,” which was featured in Meiji Seika’s commercials for “boda” and “galbo.” Even today, it remains her signature million-selling hit.
It’s a famous song that people in their 40s will likely know regardless of gender, so it’s guaranteed to liven up karaoke with peers.
It’s an enduring ballad for which you’ll want to capture the song’s delicate, ephemeral vocals to recreate its atmosphere.
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.
