[Women in Their 40s] Songs Even the Tone-Deaf Can Sing! Karaoke Tracks That Suit the Female Vocal Range (121–130)

paper craneMidori Oka

Released in February 2019, “Kami no Tsuru” (Paper Crane) is a memorable single for Midori Oka, as it marked her first entry into the top 20 of the Oricon charts.

While the melody is bright, it carries a certain poignancy and wistfulness—a classic enka sound that resonates with the Japanese heart.

That said, the typical enka-style vocal ornaments like strong kobushi and intense vibrato are relatively restrained here.

If you focus on singing gently and sincerely, as Oka does, it’s quite approachable even for beginners to enka.

Interestingly, the lower notes can be more challenging than the high ones, so I recommend practicing with clear enunciation and working to apply solid vibrato on the low passages.

GoodbyeGAO

GAO – Sayonara [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Goodbye, GAO

Artist GAO is known for his irresistibly handsome looks and deep, attractive “ikébo” voice that even puts many men to shame.

His masculine vocal tone, emanating from a face that could pass for a beautiful boy, captivated many women in the 1990s.

Among GAO’s songs, the one I particularly recommend as easy to sing is Sayonara.

You might think it has some high parts, but that’s only because of GAO’s vocal timbre; for an average woman in her 40s, it should actually be quite comfortable to sing.

I want to be happy.Yuki Uchida

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.

TEARS ~ In the Flow of Time... Mina Ganaha

Mina Ganaha is a female singer-songwriter from Amami Oshima, known for her smooth vocals and popular in the 2000s.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is TEARS ~In the Flow of Time….

While the melody is somewhat serious, the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, and the pitch movement is gentle throughout, making it an easy song to sing.

If you use your jaw a bit more and aim for a slightly masculine singing style, you can get closer to the feel of the original, so give it a try for reference.

Miho Morikawa is an artist who gained popularity for her cool vocal timbre and stable vocal performance—so much so that it’s hard to believe she started as an idol.

Her signature song “Blue Water” is famous as the theme song for the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and has attracted a great deal of popularity.

Although it’s a powerful piece, the vocal range is actually narrow, and the melody line has relatively few ups and downs, making it easier to sing than it sounds.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

That's important.Daiji MAN Brothers Band

DaijiMAN Brothers Band, a group that gained popularity for their catchy musicality.

They’re known as a so-called one-hit wonder, but the fact that they left behind even a single classic like “Sore ga Daiji” is remarkable.

The song is a straightforward cheer anthem, and its melody matches the lyrics perfectly—simple and direct, without relying on intricate techniques.

That’s why even women in their 40s who may find it harder to project their voices should be able to sing it without any trouble.

It’s also a song of its generation, so it should really liven up the room at karaoke!

Morning Musume’s classic “Koi no Dance Site,” with its striking Arabian-inspired melody.

If you’re a woman in your early 40s, chances are you’ve sung it at karaoke at least once.

Despite its flashy melody, the song’s vocal range is set quite narrowly, making it easy to sing even with a more mature voice.

Some people may feel uneasy about the Arabian scale, but since there aren’t sudden, riff-like jumps in pitch, you can aim for a high karaoke score as long as you focus on solid pitch control.
