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 (41–50)
SEASONSAyumi Hamasaki
Ayumi Hamasaki’s “Seasons” is a song that feels wonderful to sing.
Deliver it with confidence and captivate everyone in the moment.
There are many hit songs by so-called “divas” like Namie Amuro, Mika Nakashima, and Kumi Koda, and they’re hugely popular among women.
But if you’re thinking about what appeals to men as well, Ayumi Hamasaki really stands out as a defining artist of her era.
The Girl Who Leapt Through TimeTomoyo Harada
Tomoyo Harada has also released a self-cover in a slightly lower key than the original.
She’s one of those actresses whose radiance hasn’t changed then or now, and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” is her signature and biggest hit song.
It seems there are karaoke versions in slower tempos, like bossa nova, so please give it a try and sing it.
Premonition of LoveSafe zone
The classic hit by Anzen Chitai, “Koi no Yokan.” While the lyrics are heartrending, the melody itself exudes a very seductive allure, and the song is considered indispensable when discussing 1980s pop ballads.
Although the piece features many low notes, the vocal line is fundamentally easy to sing.
In the last part of the chorus, the pitch suddenly jumps up on the word “kakenukeru,” and if you find that part difficult, try pronouncing it as “kuu-kye-nukeru.” It’s a simple tweak, but just changing the pronunciation can improve your vocal production, so I recommend it.
Love me sinfullyChara
Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates elements of Black music.
Many women in their 40s still listen to her songs from time to time, don’t they? Among Chara’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Tsumi Fukaku Aishiteyo” (“Love Me Sinfully”).
While the low range stands out a bit, the vocals stay within the low to mid range, so the overall range isn’t very wide.
And although it draws on soul music, it doesn’t use advanced techniques like vocal runs, making it easy to sing naturally even for those not accustomed to singing Western-style music.
STEADYSPEED
SPEED made a sensational debut in the late 1990s and quickly rose to the top of the music scene.
This work, their second single released in November 1996, captured the hearts of many young people at the time and remains a timeless classic today.
It’s also well known as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Itazura na Kiss.” The straightforward emotions that hint at the beginning of a bittersweet romance, paired with a driving melody, really set your heart on fire.
Marking their first million seller (about 1.
5 million copies in total!), this song is guaranteed to bring back that fluttering excitement when you sing it at karaoke with friends.
Start humming along together, and the energy will skyrocket in no time.
go for it！DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE is a duo supported by people of all generations, not just those in their 40s.
Because their music is rooted in Black music, many of their songs are challenging, but of course there are also simpler ones.
The one I recommend is go for it!.
While the melody is somewhat unconventional, the vocal range is narrow and there are no sudden jumps in pitch, making it one of the easiest DREAMS COME TRUE songs to sing.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Noriko Sakai’s signature song “Aoi Usagi” (“Blue Rabbit”).
Although it’s classified as pop, the vocal lines are infused throughout with the essence of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
Because Noriko Sakai’s voice is so clear, people tend to assume it’s a high-pitched song, but the actual vocal range is quite narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without issue.
However, since many sections call for pronounced vibrato, be mindful of producing steady vibrato with solid support in the mid to lower-mid range.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
