[Women in their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Suit the Female Vocal Range (91–100)

A midsummer passing showerHikaru Utada

After a period of hiatus from music, Hikaru Utada returned with this first track, “Manatsu no Tooriame” (Mid-Summer Showers).

This song carries a sorrowful image and is said to be a tribute to her late mother.

Recommended to be sung slowly and tenderly at a low tempo, it features steady piano accompaniment that makes it easy to keep the rhythm.

The absence of abrupt pitch changes also contributes to its ease of singing.

Aimyon – You Don’t Listen to Rock [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
You Don’t Listen to Rock, Aimyon

A song by Aimyon that portrays a single-hearted wish to close the emotional distance with the one you care about.

The earnest desire to connect with someone through the music you love is expressed over an approachable melody.

Released in August 2017 by Warner Music Japan, it was selected for power play on 42 radio stations nationwide.

The music video, filmed in abandoned ruins in Fukushima Prefecture, also drew attention.

Its catchy melody makes it easy to remember, and since the vocal range isn’t very wide, it’s appealing because anyone can enjoy singing it.

rainChisato Moritaka

Chisato Moritaka was an idol who was hugely active from the late 1980s through the 1990s.

While she was a classic pure-hearted idol, she’s also known for having many songs that stir the emotions.

Among her works, the song I especially recommend for women in their 40s who aren’t confident about singing is “Ame” (Rain).

It’s a quintessential J-pop ballad with an extremely singable vocal line.

There are virtually no long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control should be able to sing it without difficulty.

Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.

In that case, I recommend Fade Out.

This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.

You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.

The very long rests also make it easy to perform.

Wink’s classic hit “Lonely Tropical Fish,” which became a massive success in 1989.

Their expressionless performance—unusual for idols—and the nostalgic synth-pop steeped in an ’80s vibe give it an indescribably emotional feel, don’t they? This song is also very easy to sing.

After all, you can practically sing it with a straight face.

While there are some higher notes, it’s not the kind of song where you belt from the diaphragm, so for the end of the chorus, it’s good to approach it as lightly as humming through your nose.

I'm only gazing at you.Maki Ohguro

Maki Ohguro, an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.

She began playing in bands during high school and made her debut in 1992.

Since then, she has enlivened the music scene with songs rooted in pop while incorporating a wide range of genres such as rock and R&B.

Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she received the Excellent Work Award at the Japan Record Awards and was named one of the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.

After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be highly active today.

Her worldview—expressed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate with the heart—is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the vigor and warmth that music can offer.

ETERNAL WIND ~A Smile in the Shining Wind~Hiroko Moriguchi

Hiroko Moriguchi’s song “ETERNAL WIND ~Hohoemi wa Hikaru Kaze no Naka~,” released as the ending theme for Mobile Suit Gundam F91.

Since Gundam is typically aimed at a male audience, I don’t think many people were familiar with this song in real time, but it’s very easy to sing.

The piece sits in the mid to mid-range and maintains a slow tempo throughout.

Although it’s slow, it surprisingly doesn’t include many long sustained notes, so even women in their 40s—when the voice can start to show signs of decline for some—should be able to sing it without issue.
