A collection of cool songs that sound great when sung by women, originally male songs

These days, more male artists with high, soaring vocal ranges are emerging, and it’s becoming common for women to sing songs originally by male artists.

So this time, I’ll introduce men’s songs that sound especially cool when sung by women!

When a woman intentionally sings a man’s song, that contrast creates a fresh vibe and can make it sound really cool.

Songs by high-tenor male artists can also be easier for women to sing, so if you’re thinking, “I want to sing a male artist’s song at karaoke, but I don’t know what to pick,” use this as a reference!

Let’s get started.

Compilation of Cool Male Songs When Sung by Women (11–20)

This is a song that reveals new charm when sung by a woman.

Performed with the soft voice of Macaroni Enpitsu’s vocalist Hattori, it features a comfortable melody infused with pop-rock elements.

Released in November 2021, the song’s lyrics—centered on the anxieties of love and self-affirmation—leave a strong impression and resonate deeply with listeners.

It has gained popularity on streaming services and ranked high on the Billboard Japan charts.

It’s also a great pick for women who want to sing songs by male artists at karaoke.

If a woman belts out the chorus with power, it’s guaranteed to sound cool!

This back number song gives you such an indescribable feeling, doesn’t it? I think Iyori Shimizu is a genius at creating a sense of heartbreak.

The harmonies in this track are mostly in the chorus.

It’s basically an upper harmony, but the way the ends of phrases drop an octave and other clever choices in the harmonizing really amplify the bittersweet vibe.

In the final chorus, there’s a key change and the pitch goes up, so I think it’s good to sing a bit louder in falsetto so you don’t get overshadowed by the lead vocal.

A lot of people sing back number, so be sure to add these harmonies to your repertoire!

Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Pretender” is arguably the most well-known.

Many of you have probably heard it at least once.

Although it’s known as a difficult piece, that reputation mainly comes from its prominent high notes; in fact, its overall vocal range isn’t all that wide.

The vocal line has relatively large rises and falls, but those demanding phrases don’t appear in succession.

Therefore, as long as you have the stamina to sustain the high register, it’s actually a surprisingly singable song.

Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “I LOVE.

.

.” is particularly popular.

On the surface, it can be considered a high-difficulty piece because it features a lot of falsetto and many vocal lines that use mixed voice.

However, from another perspective, it’s different.

The song incorporates elements of R&B and soul, yet it contains very few advanced vocal techniques such as ad-libs or falls.

As long as you have solid fundamental singing ability, it’s possible to perform it well; if you’re confident in your pitch stability, it might be a great addition to your repertoire.

Answer keyMotoki Omori

This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, and as expected, it features a lot of high notes.

The range is G#3 to B4, so it might be easier for women to sing.

One amazing thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto much more frequently than other artists, but for this song, keeping your eyebrows raised while singing helps make the transitions smoother.

My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always up!” so please use that as a reference.

Also, since the phrases in this song are relatively long, I recommend deciding your breath points before you sing.

If you don’t have enough breath, your voice may drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing.

It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song, so once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!

This is an up-tempo, energetic rock song used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Night of the Living Cat,” which starts in July 2025! The vocal range is F#3 to B4, so it should be fairly easy to sing, right? The tempo itself is a brisk 165, and there are some rap-like parts, so I recommend memorizing all the lyrics before singing.

It’s a short track under three minutes, but it will definitely hype up the crowd at karaoke! I personally want to add it to my repertoire, too!

Tomonari Sora’s hit number “Bergamot” has garnered nationwide popularity.

If you’re a man in your 20s, you’ve probably heard it at least once through TikTok or Instagram.

The song features falsetto, but it’s mostly just forcing falsetto in parts that could be sung in chest voice, so the overall range is rather narrow.

Singers of any vocal range should be able to handle it comfortably at the right key.

The rap section’s flow is somewhat complex, but the vocal melody is simple, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
