Easy-to-sing karaoke songs [Classic picks for women in their 40s] (21–30)
White kiteMy Little Lover
For women in their 40s, many probably spent their youth with My Little Lover! Speaking of My Little Lover, “Hello, Again ~Mukashi Kara Aru Basho~” was a huge hit, but “Shiroi Kite” is also a great pick for karaoke! It’s not only easy to sing, but its cute, glittering sound and refreshing melody are absolutely wonderful.
I definitely recommend singing it at summer karaoke! It’s a song that feels nostalgic yet still resonates with how we feel today.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS is a five-member rock band also known as the most successful girl band in J-POP history.
“M,” included as the B-side to their 7th single “Diamonds,” has continued to be covered by many musicians and remains a beloved hit that rivals the A-side.
Its sentimental lyrics set to a relaxed shuffle beat may bring back personal memories for women in their 40s when they sing it.
Widely known across generations, it’s an enduring love song that’s easy to choose for karaoke.
I'm glad I met you.Kyoko Koizumi
This is the 32nd single by Kyoko Koizumi—known as Kyon-Kyon—the original ’80s idol, released in May 1991.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama Papa to Nacchan, in which she co-starred with actor Masakazu Tamura as a father-daughter duo, so many women in their 40s may remember this song.
As for the piece itself, the vocal range required isn’t very wide, and the melody is quite simple, so aiming for a high score with this song shouldn’t be too difficult.
Sing it joyfully along with your nostalgic memories!
I hope it’s sunny.DREAMS COME TRUE
The song “Haretara Ii ne” was created with the scenery of Miwa Yoshida’s hometown, Ikeda Town in Hokkaido, in mind.
Released in 1992, it became one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s popular numbers, chosen as the theme song for an NHK drama and reaching No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart.
As you’d expect from a DCT song, the range is slightly higher at mid1 G to hi G, but since the verses sit mainly in the low-to-mid range, it shouldn’t feel too difficult overall.
The hi C should preferably be sung in chest voice with solid power rather than falsetto, so make this a focal point in your practice.
wailing in griefShizuka Kudo
A singer with a background in the Onyanko Club—who dominated the idol scene of the 1980s—and who continues to showcase wide-ranging talents as an actress, TV personality, jewelry designer, and painter, Shizuka Kudo released this as her 18th single.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Ano Hi ni Kaeritai,” and its memorable chorus phrase really sticks in your ears.
With an overall low key and no particularly difficult melodic parts, it’s likely easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a recommended pop number that we’d love to see women in their 40s—the generation who grew up with it—sing while savoring the lyrics.
Aino Katachi feat. HIDE (GReeeeN)MISIA
The 2018 collaboration between GReeeeN’s HIDE and MISIA, “Ai no Katachi feat.
HIDE (GReeeeN).” As a song that rivals “Aitakute Ima” and “Everything” in popularity, many women in their 50s are likely familiar with it.
This piece is arranged within a slightly narrower vocal range of mid1 A to mid2 F, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle with high notes.
However, the average pitch is mid1 G#, which is low for a women’s song, and the final big chorus features high phrases close to mixed voice.
Keep these two points in mind when singing.
For the momentEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is an artist that represents the Heisei era.
Some of you might have spent your youth with ELT’s music.
They’re known for a lot of high-pitched songs, but among them, “For the moment” has high notes mainly in part of the chorus, while the rest stays relatively within a comfortable range.
It also has a good groove, making it easier to sing.
In the high notes of the chorus, the melody climbs like steps, so building momentum is very important.
High notes are tough without enough breath, so where you breathe matters, too.
First, look through the lyrics and find where the high notes are.
Once you know the spots, try singing the melody so those parts become the accents.
It should be easier if you keep the rhythm while you sing!
