WILLNakajima Mika92rank/position
A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own life by will.
Beginning with memories of gazing up at the night sky, it powerfully speaks of a resolve for the future while looking back on the path taken.
Her pure, delicate vocals carry a touch of sorrow yet give you the courage to face forward—an outstanding track.
Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astrometry.” Created by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s a song best sung at an easy pace, engraving precious memories and resolve in your heart.
youKōda Kumi93rank/position
The song “you,” crafted as a ballad centered on vocals and piano, was released in 2005 and is known as one of Kumi Koda’s finest ballads.
Its vocal range is relatively narrow, from mid1 E to hi B.
The pitch movement is gentle, and at 77 BPM the tempo is very relaxed.
While that makes it harder to hide imperfections, overall it’s a very singable song.
Be sure to check it out.
PearlTHE YELLOW MONKEY94rank/position
When it comes to bands most admired by men in their 40s, THE YELLOW MONKEY surely comes to mind.
Their music is captivating with a certain sensuality and wistfulness beneath a youthful vibe, and they continue to be supported by a wide range of generations today.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Pearl.
It’s an intense track, but because it has few long sustained notes and a relatively narrow vocal range, most men should be able to sing it well.
Be sure to check it out.
Can’t Say Anything… SummerTHE JAYWALK95rank/position
This is a song by J-WALK released in 1991.
It’s a track that evokes the summer of the ’90s, with a very delicate melody line that gradually gained support.
Its beautiful melody, which makes you feel the end of summer, brings back memories of nostalgic summers.
White kiteMy Little Lover96rank/position
For women in their 40s, many probably spent their youth with My Little Lover! Speaking of My Little Lover, “Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~” was a huge hit, but “Shiroi Kite” is also a great pick for karaoke! It’s not only easy to sing, but its cute, glittering sound and refreshing melody are absolutely wonderful.
I definitely recommend singing it at summer karaoke! It’s a song that feels nostalgic yet still resonates with how we feel today.
My RevolutionWatanabe Misato97rank/position
This is Misato Watanabe’s fourth single, released in 1986.
It’s one of her signature songs that became a major hit at the time—highly recognizable and guaranteed to energize any crowd—an anthem song.
In the chorus, there’s a section where the pitch rises and falls dramatically; that’s the key point for karaoke.
Whether you can pull off that part makes a big difference in the performance’s overall quality.
It topped the Oricon weekly chart, sold 445,000 copies, and remains popular as a representative number of the 1980s.
I can’t stay a daydreaming girlAikawa Nanase98rank/position
This is the debut single by female singer Nanase Aikawa, who made her major-label debut in 1995 under the production of singer-songwriter Tetsuro Oda.
With its hard rock vibe and striking lyrics, the song made a big splash—many women in their 40s today likely remember being blown away in real time.
Its distinctly rock, gritty vocal style makes it perfect for singing at karaoke when you’re feeling stressed.
It’s a nostalgic number that’s highly recommended for those times when you want to let it all out and feel refreshed.
