[Even With a Low Voice, It’s Okay!] Karaoke Songs That Are Easy to Sing for Women in Their 40s (21–30)

Wasshoi!NEW!Nanae Aikawa

"Wasshoi!" LIVE @ NANASE'S DAY 2025
Wasshoi! NEW! Nanase Aikawa

Nanase Aikawa was recently appointed as the Japan–Brazil Friendship and Goodwill Ambassador.

Her song “Wasshoi!” was released in 2025 with the theme of connecting Brazil and Japan.

The piece intentionally incorporates a distinctly Japanese-style melody, featuring several enka-like phrases.

As a result, it’s naturally crafted to be easy for Japanese listeners to sing, but since the end of the chorus holds a long note at a slightly higher pitch, be careful not to let your voice crack there.

If you set the key to suit this section, there aren’t any particularly difficult elements, so please use this as a reference.

My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeEri Hiramatsu

Eri Hiramatsu’s biggest hit song, “Room, White Shirt, and Me.” If you’re a woman in your 40s, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

Because Eri Hiramatsu’s vocal range is quite high, many people may think this song requires a wide range.

In reality, it’s simply sung in a high register, and the overall range isn’t broad.

Even women with lower voices should be able to sing it well if they adjust to a suitable key.

The vocal line itself is simple, so be sure to find a key that fits you and give it a try.

NO TITLISTRie Miyazawa

Rie Miyazawa’s classic song “NO TITLIST.” Since Miyazawa is not primarily a singer by trade, most of her released tracks are organized around simple vocal lines.

This work is no exception, featuring a very easy progression that anyone can sing.

The structure, which steadily ramps up in energy, is striking, but once the chorus begins the excitement settles down.

As a result, the vocal range stays compact, making it a song that even women with lower voices can sing without any trouble.

back number – With Love from a Certain Future [MOS Burger “Eating HAPPY” Commercial Song]
From a certain future, with love — back number

This is a newly written song for Mos Burger’s new brand commercial “Eating HAPPY,” airing from June 20, 2025.

When it comes to actually singing this song, the range is very wide! The overall range spans A#2 to C#5, with the verses (A and B sections) centered on lower notes, and the chorus shoots way up! The jumps are quite extreme, but the melody is clearly divided by section, so I think it’s relatively easy to practice.

If the high notes in the chorus feel “too high” in chest voice, it’s totally fine to approach them from falsetto! When I teach high notes, I sometimes have students master falsetto first and then transition to chest voice! Once you get used to it, chest voice will definitely become easier to produce, so sing with confidence.

Sukima Switch’s classic song “Kanade” gets as high as A#4 in the latter half, so it can seem challenging, but the first half stays within a low–mid range of D3 to A#4, making it a great pick for lower-voiced male singers.

It’s a song almost everyone knows, so it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire! Until you get used to the chorus range, it’s fine to lower the key a bit.

It’s absolutely better to sing in a key that’s comfortable for you rather than forcing the original key, so try finding the key that suits your voice.

The key is to sing gently!

The strong and fleeting onesCocco

For those in their early 40s, songs from the 1990s are likely more memorable than those from the late 1980s.

Among female singer-songwriters who made a big splash in the ’90s, one track by Cocco that I especially recommend is “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).

This piece features a rhythm with a bounce reminiscent of reggae, while the vocal line maintains an ennui-like quality.

The song has a relatively narrow vocal range and contains no phrases that require sudden jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing for people with any kind of voice.

Never endsUru

Never endsUru

“Never ends,” the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigation Unit,” will be familiar to those watching the show.

The verse to pre-chorus range is set on the lower side, so try singing gently and carefully from the start without belting.

The high notes in the chorus go up to around D#5, but avoid forcing it—aim to deliver them cleanly in head voice like Uru.

There’s also a low note around C3 in the bridge, which may be low for many women, though lower-voiced female singers might find it manageable.

Sing gently without straining your throat.
