[40s] Karaoke Easy-to-Sing Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
PRIDEImai Miki15rank/position
A heartfelt love song that Tomoyasu Hotei wrote for Miki Imai.
It’s said to be a track that symbolizes the bond of the two, who later became husband and wife.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Doc.” The vocal range is F3 to C#5, and while there are some slightly higher parts, the relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing in chest voice.
It’s more of a spoken-style song, so it’s best to sing lightly without forcing it.
Keep your facial muscles lifted and your throat open at all times.
If you open your mouth, you’ll notice the soft palate at the back of your throat.
Try to open that area and let your breath flow steadily—this will help you produce sound with ease.
Also, placing the voice as you sing can create a gentle atmosphere, which might work nicely.
cherrysupittsu16rank/position
This is Spitz’s 13th single, released in April 1996.
Even though it had no tie-in at the time of release, it sold over 1.6 million copies—truly another iconic J-pop song of the Heisei era! The melody is very easy to remember and sing, so be sure to learn it and enjoy singing it.
Just take care not to make your singing feel too heavy.
Not just this song, but many tracks released from the late ’90s to the early 2000s were made with karaoke in mind, making that era a treasure trove of karaoke-friendly songs.
It’s highly recommended to search for songs from that angle!
Get WildTM NETWORK17rank/position
TM NETWORK’s hit number, “Get Wild.” Thanks to its use in the Paris Olympics’ “non-paying uncle” meme, the song has gained a certain level of popularity among younger generations as well.
The piece spans a fairly narrow vocal range of mid1 F# to mid2 G, making it easy to sing for both men and women.
Although the lyrics tend to be somewhat fast-paced, the tempo itself isn’t particularly high at BPM 132, so as long as you memorize the flow properly, you should be able to sing it without any issues.
DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina18rank/position
Akina Nakamori is an idol with a mature aura that’s rare among today’s idols.
While people in their 40s may not be her direct generation, many households likely had siblings or parents who were obsessed with her.
Among her songs, “DESIRE -Jounetsu-” is one I especially recommend.
It does require a somewhat advanced sense of phrasing, but since it doesn’t go into high notes and, aside from the end of the chorus, doesn’t feature long sustained tones, it’s very easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their pitch.
First LoveUtada Hikaru19rank/position
A signature ballad by Hikaru Utada that offers a rewarding challenge for low-voiced women in their 40s.
The range spans E3–F5, with plenty of high notes, but it captivates with a conversational verse and expressive emotion.
Many people will know this song.
Because it’s sung with a whispery tone, it likely brings to mind a kind of head-voice feel.
Basically, head voice requires steady breath support.
If you tense up when taking a breath, you’ll end up chest breathing and won’t inhale enough air.
Diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing is crucial.
Also, since the song builds up a lot toward the end, be mindful of balancing your volume.
For the English parts, try singing fluidly along the melodic line to lock into the rhythm.
appearsHamasaki Ayumi20rank/position
People currently in their 40s likely belong to the generation for whom Ayumi Hamasaki hit right on the mark.
Because she has a high-pitched voice, many people feel her songs are hard to sing.
That’s actually true in general, but “appears” is one of her comparatively easier songs to sing.
What seems high is largely due to her vocal timbre, and there are no sections that require falsetto; the vocal line is arranged so that even those who aren’t confident in their singing can handle it more easily.

TouchIwasaki Yoshimi21rank/position
This is the 20th single by singer Yoshimi Iwasaki, who has been studying business administration in the master’s program at J.F.
Oberlin University Graduate School since 2021.
It became a massive hit as the opening theme for the TV anime Touch, and those in their 40s—regardless of gender—likely remember it along with scenes from the show.
Because the tempo is fast and the melody features a sharp drop from high notes to low, it’s a good idea to check it once before performing it at karaoke.
Overall, the pitch range isn’t very wide, so it’s an anime song recommended even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
