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 (11–20)
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
If you’re in your 40s, there are probably many of you who are fans of DREAMS COME TRUE.
They have fans across ages and generations, and among their songs, Yasashii Kiss o Shite is especially recommended for those who want to capture the heart of a man they’re interested in by singing it at karaoke, with its lyrics and melody that tighten your chest.
Looking closely at the lyrics, you can glimpse a woman’s unrequited, one-sided feelings.
While it’s best when love flows smoothly between two people, this song portrays a couple for whom that isn’t the case, making it a poignant, emotionally stirring number.
Cutie HoneyNEW!Kumi Koda
If you want a song to get everyone hyped, I recommend Cutie Honey.
It’s known across generations, so it’s a blast to sing at karaoke! Since many people are already familiar with the tune, you can probably breeze through it even if you’re not confident in your pitch.
The chorus does go a bit higher, so try to keep relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.
That said, this is a song where vibe matters more than vocal technique—if you move your body and use hand gestures to the rhythm, the tension naturally eases and it becomes much easier to sing! In fact, for people who aren’t used to karaoke, gestures are surprisingly important.
Standing stiff will almost always make you sing from your throat, so I highly recommend moving your body to the beat.
You’ll have a great time—don’t be shy, give it a try!
Endless skystorm
Arashi’s songs are often written with the idea that girls at their concerts will sing along with them, so the key tends to be a bit high for men.
Because of that, many of their tracks feel just right when sung by adult women, and this song, “Hatenai Sora” (“Endless Sky”), is one of them.
It starts with a slightly wistful intro, but carries a message of moving forward with hope.
By the end, the song leaves you with a warm, cozy feeling—that’s part of its charm.
with a gentle heartSuperfly
Superfly’s up-tempo songs are all quite difficult—not only is it hard to maintain the pitch in the high register, but there’s also the issue of “When am I supposed to breathe?!” So I recommend this medium-tempo track, Yasashii Kimochi de.
If you’re not very confident with high notes, it might be easier to sing if you lower the key by one or two semitones beforehand.
I believeAyaka
Many of Ayaka’s songs are easy to sing, so there are probably quite a few people who often sing them at karaoke.
Her song “I believe,” released in 2006, has a slow tempo and is easy to sing.
Even those who find high-pitched songs difficult will likely find this one approachable.
It’s a track that conveys the image of a calm yet strong-willed woman, and people listening along will surely feel encouraged and become more positive by it.
The Theory of HappinessRingo Sheena
Since her debut, Ringo Sheena has always maintained an unchanging beauty and radiance, earning her many female fans.
Many people likely admire her because they’re around the same age.
From the glamorous costumes in Tokyo Jihen to her unwavering vocal presence and lyrics that convey Japanese so clearly, she overflows with charm.
This song, Happiness Theory, is Ringo Sheena’s debut single, released in 1998.
While the track has a very fresh appeal, the lyrics are quintessentially “Ringo.” Among her songs, it’s also one that’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

heavy rotationAKB48
When you think of AKB48, their signature song is undoubtedly “Heavy Rotation.” The colorful and cute music video also drew attention for being directed by Mika Ninagawa.
Although it was released in 2010, it remains a longtime favorite as both a dance track and a karaoke staple.
How about going all out and singing it at karaoke—maybe even throwing in some of the choreography? It’ll instantly brighten the mood, and who knows, everyone might start dancing too (lol).
