Don't give upZARD
This is the sixth single by ZARD, a representative Being-label artist that dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s, centered around Izumi Sakai, who sadly passed away suddenly in 2007.
The song was used as the ending theme for the first season of the TV drama “Reiko Shiratori de Gozaimasu!” and remains a go-to motivational anthem that you still hear in many contexts today.
While the driving tempo and the intricate melody that appears at the start of the chorus can make it feel challenging, its catchiness makes it easy to remember and sing.
Women in their 40s who likely listened to it during their school days might find themselves reliving their youth when singing it at karaoke.
Ding DongZoo
ZOO was a music group that was hugely active in the 1990s.
In Japan, they helped popularize black contemporary music, gaining popularity with a sound that made what was then an uncommon genre catchy and accessible.
Among ZOO’s songs, one I especially recommend is “Ding Dong.” While the song has fairly pronounced dynamic nuances, they are primarily expressive rather than driven by volume, which stays relatively steady, so it’s not overly difficult.
The vocal range is also narrow, so if you lock into the rhythm and pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
confessionMariya Takeuchi
With the revival boom, songs from the 1980s have been drawing attention lately.
In particular, Mariya Takeuchi, as a leading singer of city pop, is very popular at karaoke.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Kokuhaku (Confession).
This piece features many low-register parts, making it very easy to sing even for women in their 40s who may find high notes harder to reach.
It’s a must-listen for anyone looking for a song that doesn’t strain the throat.
Happy Summer WeddingMorning Musume
Morning Musume’s classic “Happy Summer Wedding” stands out with its Arabian-flavored track and catchy vocals.
The lyrics that convey gratitude and the cheerful melody that follows them leave a strong impression.
For women in their early 40s, this might be a spot-on anthem.
Among Morning Musume’s songs, this one is particularly easy to sing, with a relatively narrow vocal range.
The rhythm is also easy to catch, so even those who struggle with high notes or complex time signatures should find it easy to sing.

cherrySpitz
Spitz, a band that’s hugely popular in Japan.
Their appeal lies in their catchy sound that strikes a chord with everyone.
When it comes to Spitz’s iconic songs, many people probably think of Cherry, right? A lot of people feel this song has a wide vocal range.
It’s true the range isn’t narrow, but when you try singing it, it’s surprisingly easy.
Especially for women, even in their 40s, it should be no problem to hit the notes.
The melody is simple too, so definitely give it a listen.
DESIRE -Passion-Akina Nakamori
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.
My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeEri Hiramatsu
The classic song “Heya to Y-Shirt to Watashi” is still loved by many listeners today.
Since it was released in 1990, there are likely many women in their 40s who often listened to it during their school days.
What stands out about this piece is, above all, its simple arrangement and vocal line.
It features a gentle, easy-to-pitch melody and a relatively narrow overall range.
It’s especially recommended for those who struggle with falsetto or find pitch control difficult.
If you can’t do vibrato, avoid cutting off your long notes abruptly—instead, let them fade out.
