Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
PassionUA
This is the fourth single by UA, a female singer-songwriter who is also active as the vocalist of the rock band AJICO and has gained popularity with songs that bring a wide range of styles—soul, jazz, reggae, dub, electro, and world music—into J-POP.
Known as one of her signature tracks, it features an emotional, laid-back shuffle beat topped with her soulful vocals.
While the overall key isn’t very high, the melody includes many large intervals, and without locking into the beat it’s hard to create a groove, so be sure to listen closely to the original and practice before singing it at karaoke.
It’s a long-running hit that we especially recommend for women in their 40s, the generation it represents.
Fall in LoveAkiko Kobayashi
A perennial karaoke favorite, “Koi ni Ochite -Fall in love-” is known for its timeless melody that never fades with the years.
Set to a gentle piano line, the lyrics portray both the joy and the poignancy of love, resonating across generations.
In particular, it’s a song that women in their 40s can easily pour emotion into and express without needing exceptional vocal prowess.
When expressing your individuality at karaoke, this song invites deep emotional immersion, richly reflecting the singer’s feelings.
As the song progresses and emotions swell, you’ll be able to let a pleasant, resonant voice fill the room.
A gentle feelingChara
A very cute song sung by Chara, “Yasashii Kimochi,” was used as the CM song for Shiseido’s “Tessera J.” The song is sung in her distinctive whispery voice, which leaves a strong impression.
Although it was released in 1997, it became known to today’s younger generation when Moka Kamishiraishi covered it for a “Gogo no Kocha” commercial in 2016.
The key is a bit high, but since you can sing it without belting, it should be fine if you sing softly in falsetto, almost like a whisper!
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
This is the debut single by singer-songwriter Mayo Okamoto—also active as a pianist under the name “mayo” and known for writing songs for many other artists in addition to her own.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Second Chance,” it became a million seller despite being her very first release.
Its uplifting message and catchy pop melody blow away feelings of hardship, leaving both the singer and the listener feeling refreshed.
With lyrics that particularly resonate with women in their 40s, it’s a pop tune whose exhilarating sense of speed feels wonderfully satisfying.
Moon DropsRUI
A gemlike ballad that lyrically portrays the fragility and beauty of a heart in love, likening it to moonlight.
Ko Shibasaki’s clear, translucent vocals bring deep emotion to the story.
Released in January 2003 as the theme song for the film “Yomigaeri,” it topped the Oricon charts.
Selling over 830,000 copies, this major hit also drew attention as a song credited to RUI, the singer portrayed by Ko Shibasaki.
A heartrending yet warmly evocative piece that revives memories of the time alongside the film’s iconic scenes.
Sign of LovePUFFY
Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular musical duo.
Many of you may have even copied their fashion, right? Among PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Ai no Shirushi (A Sign of Love).
Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.
The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without any issues.
Lila LilhaKaela Kimura
Kaela Kimura’s third single, “Rirura Riruha.” True to her early work, the song has an overall rock feel, but the vocal line isn’t particularly intense.
In fact, while the range is mid2C to hiC#—so on the higher side—it stays within a narrow span.
The melodic movement is very gentle, and since the average pitch is mid2E, only two semitones above the lowest note, even those who struggle with high notes should find it easy to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
