Our FailureDoji Morita

This is a song by singer-songwriter Doji Morita that was used as the theme song for the 1993 TV drama “High School Teacher.” The song was originally released on record in 1976, but it became a revival hit after being featured in the drama and was later released on CD.

It’s a slightly melancholy ballad with an impression of whisper-like vocals.

If you’re in your 40s, many of you may have watched the drama back then.

It’s a song you can memorize after listening a few times, so even if you didn’t know it before, please give it a try!

Being just friends is fine.Yumiko Takahashi

Even just as friends, Yumi Takahashi

Yumiko Takahashi’s “Tomodachi de Ii Kara,” known as the theme song for the drama Minami-kun no Koibito, captures the heart-wrenching feelings of unrequited love in its lyrics.

Yet the sound and melody are so refreshing that you’ll want to listen to it over and over.

It’s a song that brings back memories of youthful romance whenever you sing it.

Try singing it at karaoke with friends from the same generation.

Even first-timers should be able to pick it up quickly, as the melody is easy to remember.

CRAZY GONNA CRAZYTRF

Even within the broad label of “people in their 40s,” the music you grew up with differs greatly depending on whether you’re in your early or late 40s.

That said, TRF can be considered an artist popular across the entire 40-something demographic.

Among their songs, CRAZY GONNA CRAZY is particularly easy to sing.

Because it’s primarily dance music, it can be hard to notice, but the song actually has a narrow vocal range and doesn’t feature complex melodic leaps.

As long as you adjust the key to suit your voice, even those who feel their voice doesn’t come out easily should be able to sing it without trouble.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.

Morning Musume’s classic “Koi no Dance Site,” known for its Arabian-inspired melody, is unforgettable.

Women in their early 40s have probably sung it at karaoke at least once.

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

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

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.

GoodbyeGAO

GAO – Sayonara [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Goodbye, GAO

GAO is a singer with a memorable husky voice and an androgynous presence.

After the 2000s, she made a surprising shift to gangsta rap and even released a full-fledged hip-hop album, and she continues to be active in music under the name GAO today.

Many people probably think of her 1992 smash hit “Sayonara” when they hear her name.

The song has since been covered by many singers and remains a classic of early Heisei-era J-pop that continues to be sung today.

Featuring a very singable melody built on a simple chord progression with restrained leaps in pitch, it’s also a great choice for those aiming for a high karaoke score.

For the high notes in the chorus, be sure to project strongly from your diaphragm so you can deliver them with power.
