Eiichi Ohtaki, an artist who laid the foundation for Japanese city pop.

He also worked as a producer and label head, launching talented singer-songwriters such as Tatsuro Yamashita.

Among Ohtaki’s renowned masterpieces is “Kimi wa Ten’nen Shoku” (“You’re Natural Color”).

Although often thought to require a wide vocal range, the actual range is relatively narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.

The melody is expansive, so a certain lung capacity is needed, but the pitch movement is gentle, making it a comparatively easy song to sing.

Tamio Okuda’s classic “Eiju★Rider.” While Okuda has many great songs, this one, in particular, condenses a very characteristic sound of his into a cohesive core.

The vocal range is somewhat on the higher side, but the span itself is quite narrow, from mid1 C# to mid2 G#.

If you set it to the right key, it’s a song most people can sing without trouble.

It’s best performed without overbelting, with a slightly languid, nonchalant feel.

Give it a try as a reference.

TM NETWORK’s hit number, “Get Wild.” Thanks to its use in the Paris Olympics’ “non-paying uncle” meme, the song has gained a certain level of popularity among younger generations as well.

The piece spans a fairly narrow vocal range of mid1 F# to mid2 G, making it easy to sing for both men and women.

Although the lyrics tend to be somewhat fast-paced, the tempo itself isn’t particularly high at BPM 132, so as long as you memorize the flow properly, you should be able to sing it without any issues.

Must-See for People in Their 40s: Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs That Get the Crowd Going | Timeless Classics Everyone Can Enjoy (11–20)

to youMONGOL800

Among people in their 40s, those in the early half may be more familiar with Japanese rock.

In particular, I think many were fans of MONGOL800.

With that in mind, I recommend their song “Anata ni.” The vocal range for this track is quite narrow, from mid1 D to mid2 G.

While mid1 D is slightly low and doesn’t leave much room to lower the key, men with naturally low voices will likely find the original key comfortably singable, so it shouldn’t be a major issue.

The pitch stays fairly consistent, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Love againglobe

People in their 40s are the generation that matched perfectly with the Komuro Sound, right? globe, in particular, was incredibly popular.

However, many of globe’s songs are quite high, and as we get older, a lot of their famous tracks can feel harder to sing.

That’s why I recommend Love again.

While it does have some high notes, its range is slightly narrower for a female song—roughly from mid1F to hiC.

Because of that, you can lower the key by a wider margin, making it easier to find your ideal key, and the pitch movement is relatively simple compared to other globe songs.

Until My Babe-kun falls asleepSharam Q

Sha-ran Q until my babe falls asleep

Sharan Q is a band that gained popularity for its original musicality, combining the essence of kayōkyoku with rock.

They’re well-regarded for their ballads, and among them, “My Babe Kimi ga Nemuru made” is especially recommended as an easy song to sing.

The vocal range is quite narrow, from mid1 C# to mid2 G#.

They frequently use a technique called ‘hiccup’ at the start of each phrase, so mastering this will quickly elevate the overall quality.

Give it a try for reference.

POISON ~A world where you can’t even say what you want to say~Takashi Sorimachi

Takashi Sorimachi has not only been active as an actor but also as a singer.

Many women in their 40s have likely been captivated by his allure.

Speaking of his signature songs, it has to be “POISON ~I can’t even say what I want to say in a world like this~.” The track gained nationwide popularity, partly because it was used as the theme song for the hit drama GTO.

While the song features a lot of low notes, its range is quite narrow at mid1 B to mid2 E, so there’s plenty of room to raise the key.

If you sing it in the right key, there’s nothing particularly difficult about it, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
