Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing: Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s (31–40)
Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako
This is Takako Matsu’s debut single.
It’s a fresh and cute medium‑tempo song.
The melody is gentle, and because many phrases are repeated, the singing difficulty is relatively low.
In the chorus, the lines that extend at the end of phrases create a soft, feminine mood.
It feels great to sing, so I highly recommend it.
The song was a huge hit, selling about 500,000 copies, and Takako Matsu went on to appear in the 48th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
With its exquisite key and tempo that suit a wide range of singers, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a fun, confidence-boosting song for karaoke-loving women in their 40s.
The sophisticated melody and lyrics by Yumi Matsutoya have been loved across generations, and when paired with the comfortable accompaniment, you’ll feel as if the karaoke room instantly transforms into a magical summer world.
Enjoy a wonderful moment with this song, which is upbeat yet composed, and cherished by a broad audience.
i love youchanmina
A song written for the TBS Friday drama “Fake Mommy,” released in October 2025.
If you’ve been watching the show, it probably sounds familiar—you might even find yourself humming along! Although this track doesn’t include any rap, it still conveys Chanmina’s world through clear R&B and hip-hop elements.
Rather than a belting style, the song mainly features breathy, whisper-like vocals.
Even if you’re not confident in your singing, you can pull it off stylishly if you make good use of your breath.
First, the basics of singing start with diaphragmatic breathing, so relax, breathe, and let your voice out.
If your chest lifts when you inhale, it becomes chest breathing and you won’t be able to take in as much air.
Overall, staying relaxed is key!
Timing ~Timing~Burakku Bisukettsu
With its catchy melody and memorable lyrics, Black Biscuits’ song charmingly conveys the universal theme of “timing” over a light, upbeat rhythm.
Released in April 1998, it reached No.
2 on the Oricon charts and became a massive hit, selling around two million copies.
The group also performed on the year-end Kouhaku Uta Gassen, instantly drawing widespread attention.
It’s an easy-to-sing pop tune that’s perfect for livening up a get-together with friends, and it’s also a great pick when you want to feel bright and positive.
ButterflyKōda Kumi
Among Kumi Koda’s songs, “Butterfly” stands out as an especially passionate work.
It fully showcases her signature ‘sexy-cool’ style, featuring a distinctive melody that blends Latin flavors and 2-step with a touch of kayōkyoku.
The range spans mid1 D# to hi C#, leaning lower overall, but the pitch movement isn’t excessively dramatic.
That said, it does incorporate elements like vibrato, hiccups, and edgy falls, so a certain level of finesse and technical nuance is required.
Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (41–50)
Over DriveJUDY AND MARY
A four-member rock band whose fans never stop hoping for a reunion no matter how many years have passed since their breakup, JUDY AND MARY’s seventh single.
It’s one of the band’s signature songs, featured in numerous commercials and covered by other artists.
Released in 1995, it’s truly a generational anthem for many women in their 40s.
It’s a catchy and cute song that always livens up karaoke, but since the overall key is high, it’s recommended to lower it to a range that’s comfortable for you to sing.
Swallowtail Butterfly ~Song of Love~YEN TOWN BAND
“Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~” is the theme song of the film Swallowtail.
The movie starred Chara.
Although YEN TOWN BAND was a fictional band within the film, they actually made their debut in real life and reached No.
1 on the Oricon singles chart with this song.
It’s a slow-tempo track that’s very easy to sing, yet unforgettable once you hear it.
It carries a slightly lonely feeling, but I think it’s a wonderful song that brings to mind someone special.
