Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs [Classic Picks for Women in Their 40s] (51–60)
We are!Hiroshi Kitadani
ONE PIECE is a series that’s always at the forefront of the anime scene, constantly generating buzz.
It has produced many theme songs, but when you hear ONE PIECE, the first one that comes to mind is probably “We Are!” The biggest charm of this song is, without a doubt, its grand vocal line.
The singer, Hiroshi Kitadani, is a vocalist who excels in the lower register as well, and in JAM Project he handles the overall low parts and even death growls.
The richness created by those low tones is truly impressive and perfectly captures the spirit of adventure.
BELIEVEMISIA
For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.
Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.
Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.
DESIRE -Passion-Akina Nakamori
If you’re heading to karaoke pumped to sing your heart out, Akina Nakamori’s hit “DESIRE” is a top recommendation.
It’s a song packed with the coolness and sensuality that many women admire.
Start with a low, mysterious A-melody, then switch to a passionate, powerful delivery in the chorus—that contrast is key.
Adding variety within the song, like slipping in breathy lines here and there, will make your performance feel even more authentic.
Channel your inner Akina Nakamori and go for it!
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.

planetariumAi Otsuka
Ai Otsuka’s songs, woven from deep sorrow and vivid memories, beautifully transmute the scars of heartbreak.
The aching feelings of love and sense of loss are reflected in lyrics that sparkle like stars in the night sky, sure to strike a powerful chord with listeners.
Released in September 2005, the work drew major attention, including being selected as an image song for the drama “Boys Over Flowers.” While standing by the pain of a broken heart, this track also gives you the courage to look forward and take your next steps.
Please take your time and listen closely to the voice and words that will seep into your heart.
You’ll surely feel the strength to take a new step forward.
Marunouchi SadisticRingo Sheena
It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.
The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.
As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.
If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.
Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.
tearsfayray
This is the seventh single by singer-songwriter Fayray—currently also active under the name Mina Ohashi as a member of the music unit The Present.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Friends,” and its delicate ensemble featuring piano and acoustic guitar feels so pleasant.
With its relaxed tempo and not-too-high key, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a perfect pick for women in their 40s and sure to be a hit when singing with friends of the same generation.
