Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (91–100)
Wasshoi!Aikawa Nanase
Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as a Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.
Her song “Wasshoi!” was released with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan in 2025.
The piece consciously incorporates a distinctly Japanese flavor in its melody, featuring several phrases reminiscent of enka.
As a result, it’s crafted to be easy for Japanese singers to perform; however, the end of the chorus holds a sustained long note at a slightly higher pitch, so be careful not to let your voice crack there.
If you set the key to suit that section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.
La La LaDaikoku Maki
La La La by Maki Ohguro, released in 1995, became a huge hit.
Among her songs, which often have a powerful image, this one has a more relaxed feel, so it’s best sung without too much tension.
The melody is so pleasant that listeners will find themselves wanting to sway along.
The lyrics will likely resonate with women in their 40s who are feeling a bit worn out from work or romance.
The key goes up in the bridge, making it more challenging, but be sure to deliver it with emotion.

On your marksaimyon
This is a song scheduled for digital release in July 2025, selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “The 19th Chart.” In an interview, Aimyon said, “It’s my first song at 30, and it also has the meaning of returning to my roots.” The tempo is very relaxed, with little pitch fluctuation, making it an easy key to sing.
If you want to return to your origins or make a fresh start, why not learn this song? Also, as the song progresses into the latter half, Aimyon’s singing shifts from falsetto to chest voice.
Even without consciously trying, I think you’ll naturally be drawn into the world of the song as you sing it.
In particular, the latter half of the final chorus is sung with great power.
As your emotions rise, it’s easy to tense up, so try singing while projecting your voice into the distance to avoid straining.
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
LastlyMayo Okamoto
Mayo Okamoto is a female singer who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
In the early part of her career she specialized in gentle ballads, but recently she has also been presenting songs with a bit more edge.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lastly.
It’s basically a piece with a narrow vocal range, and the pitch movement isn’t all that drastic.
It remains easy to sing, but there are moments where long falsetto notes appear, so you need to watch out for those.
If the key is set too low, you won’t be able to produce a solid falsetto, so it’s best to raise the key by one or two steps from your usual optimal key.
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.
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki
This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.
The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing today is the self-cover version released in December 1993.
The song has been used as the theme for many TV shows and in commercials, and it has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have probably heard it before.
As you’d expect from such a well-known piece, both the melody and the lyrics are highly memorable, and it feels like something you can enjoy singing along to casually.
Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.
