Attractive songs recommended for women in their 40s: Karaoke tracks that are popular with men

lightercatnap
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

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!

With the revival boom, songs from the 1980s have been drawing attention lately.

In particular, Mariya Takeuchi, as a leading singer of city pop, is very popular at karaoke.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Kokuhaku (Confession).

This piece features many low-register parts, making it very easy to sing even for women in their 40s who may find high notes harder to reach.

It’s a must-listen for anyone looking for a song that doesn’t strain the throat.

Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” drew renewed attention after a high school dance club used the song and sparked the ‘bubble dance’ craze.

Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that the song itself, rather than Yoko Oginome, was what captured renewed attention.

For those of us who listened to the track in real time back then, all we can do now is sing it and get everyone dancing!

I Want to Protect You by Yumi Matsutoya

Even from the perspective of women in their 40s, doesn’t Yumi Matsutoya have the image of someone who has been active for so long and continues to stay at the forefront? Her 1981 single “Mamotte Agetai” is a song known across generations and was the theme song for the film “Nerawareta Gakuen.” It’s also famous for having been covered by many artists.

Wouldn’t your heart skip a beat if a woman said “I want to protect you” to a man? It conveys a great love, makes you long to be wrapped in that kind of love, and might deeply resonate with men who are feeling worn out.
