Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks that are popular with men
Women in their 40s are often busy with family and work and may not have been to karaoke for a long time.
When it finally comes time to go, some might think, “I don’t even know what to sing!” You might worry that chasing too many songs from younger generations isn’t quite right, but going all-in on oldies might not feel right either—and there’s the concern about how the men you’re with will react.
Here, we’ll introduce a mix of songs, both new and old, with a slight focus on what tends to go over well with men.
There are probably songs you listened to a lot in your youth, or ones from a different generation that still stayed with you.
But in the end, I hope you find songs that you can sing comfortably and enjoyably—without worrying too much about what others think!

Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks that are popular with men (81–90)
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.
For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.
Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.
Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.
Give it a try for reference.
Moon DropsRUI (Ko Shibasaki)
A signature song by Kou Shibasaki that delicately portrays a heartrending love.
Used as both an insert song and the theme song for the film “Yomigaeri,” it generated major buzz upon its release in January 2003.
It debuted at No.
14 on the Oricon Singles Chart and later reached No.
1, becoming a huge hit with sales of around 830,000 copies.
Over a quiet, gentle melody, Shibasaki’s soft vocals mourn a lost love, resonating deeply with listeners.
The lyrics compellingly express the bittersweet feelings of a woman in love.
Sing it at karaoke, and those around you will surely relate and the mood will rise.
I'm glad I met you.Kyoko Koizumi
Kyoko Koizumi’s classic song “I’m Glad I Met You.” Although Kyoko Koizumi has solid vocal ability, she actually has a narrow vocal range, and most of her songs don’t feature long high notes.
Among her tracks, this one is especially recommended.
The key changes in the chorus, but just as the energy rises, the melody drops in pitch, making it a comfortable vocal line for women with lower voices or those who struggle with high notes.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
frustrated lipsMariko Takahashi
Mariko Takahashi has remained popular since the 1970s.
She’s an exceptionally long-running artist who stayed at the forefront into the 1990s.
Because of that, I think even women in their 40s are quite familiar with her songs.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Hagayui Kuchibiru (“Frustrated Lips”).
It’s a striking piece featuring vocals influenced by Showa-era kayōkyoku and the distinctive synth sounds of the early ’90s.
In this song, the chorus reaches the highest notes, but it stays within the mid-to-high range overall, and the long sustained notes only appear in the lower register.
As a result, it’s a very singable tune for women with lower voices.
Flashy!!!Miho Nakayama
As an idol, singer, and actress, Miho Nakayama was so active in the 1980s and ’90s that you could hardly talk about that era without mentioning her.
She not only starred in TV dramas but also released many hit songs as a singer.
The song “Hade!!!” is a striking idol track released in 1987, and it was the theme song for the drama “Mama wa Idol,” in which she herself played the lead.
It’s packed with everything great about ’80s idol music, and many men of the same generation would say, “I was a fan back then,” or “I loved this song!”—making it something you can really get excited about together.
Upside-Down SkySMAP
It’s sure to bring a lump to your throat as you remember your younger days.
This is a song by SMAP, the idol group that remains nationally beloved even after disbanding, released in 2012 as their 47th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Umechan-sensei,” it became a hot topic.
It’s a wonderfully uplifting anthem with a positive message—“Don’t get discouraged; keep looking forward”—that gives you courage.
It’s the kind of mindset we’d all like to carry through life.
Men listening to it will surely feel their spirits lift as well.

flameLiSA
The song released by LiSA in October 2020 moved the hearts of many as the theme for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.
Characterized by its powerful vocals and grand melody, it carries a strong message about overcoming sorrow and hardship to keep living.
Alongside the film’s massive success, the song drew widespread attention and became a major hit with over 300 million streams.
It’s a track that inspires a positive mindset—especially in tough times, encouraging you to keep looking forward.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to resonate with everyone there.
