Karaoke songs that are easy to sing for women, even for those who are tone-deaf

Unrequited loveAimer

Aimer “Kataomoi” MUSIC VIDEO (FULL ver.)

Aimer is a female singer who’s drawing attention for her soulful yet delicate voice.

Katomoi, included on her 4th album daydream, is a love song that straightforwardly expresses true feelings.

Despite not being released as a single, it became a long-running hit, especially on streaming platforms.

The melody is fast and intricate, but the ensemble is relaxed, so it should be manageable to sing calmly even at karaoke.

There are occasional leaps in pitch, so stay composed to avoid slipping off the notes.

Monster IslandWednesday Campanella

Wednesday Campanella “Monster Island”

This song, which is the theme for the TV anime “Chibi Godzilla no Gyakushū,” is a very upbeat track, just like you’d expect from Wednesday Campanella! It could be a hit at karaoke—fun for everyone and likely to go over well! When singing, keep a solid sense of rhythm throughout.

For the A melody, think more in terms of spoken lines and call-and-response rather than singing.

From the B melody, the singing element kicks in and the song takes on a cool vibe! The range is narrow, and it’s a track you’ll want to hear in the alluring lower register of a female vocalist.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire!

DESIREAkina Nakamori

DESIRE -jounetsu-

Released in 1986 as Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, this is one of her signature songs.

It’s especially popular among older generations, and it’s very easy to sing for women with lower voices or those who find high notes difficult.

If you channel Akina Nakamori and sing it with a sexy vibe, it will sound great.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – Thank You. (from DWL 2011 Live Ver.)

When it comes to karaoke songs that are easy for women without a wide vocal range to sing, “Say It (Thank You)” fits the bill.

The soulful music unit DREAMS COME TRUE released it in 1995.

Its jazzy vibe paired with light, crisp guitar work leaves a strong impression.

Among their tracks, this one has an easy-to-follow pitch and a melody line that’s simple to sing.

Even women who struggle with high notes will find the vocal range approachable.

Why not try singing this message song overflowing with gratitude for friends or a significant other?

If I'm wrapped in kindnessYumi Arai

Wrapped in Gentleness – Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya)

Queen of J-POP? It’s a song from Yumi Matsutoya’s Arai Yumi era, released in 1974.

Because of the year it came out, the song doesn’t have the complex melodic and chord progressions common in modern tracks, nor does it require superhumanly high notes.

It has a very pastoral feel and I think it’s a song that’s easy for anyone to sing.

If you sing it with attention to emphasizing the extremely cute lyrical world—something that contrasts with today’s Yuming—even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to deliver it really nicely.

Nogizaka46’s “Immoral Summer,” which became available for streaming starting in July 2025.

Since the lyrics are packed with summery words, it might be a good idea to start learning it now for the coming season! Rather than a “cute, idol-like” tune, it has a slightly cool vibe that makes you want to sing along.

The overall range leans more toward the mid to low register than high notes, so it’s a song you can comfortably sing in your natural voice.

That said, one thing to watch out for when singing mid–low songs is that if you let it just flow without intention, it can lose dynamics and end up sounding dull.

Keep your facial muscles lifted, aim to resonate around the glabella area, and be mindful of accenting the first beat of each measure! Since it’s a group song, there’s hardly any rest when you sing it solo, but it’s totally fine to prioritize the parts you want to sing.

There’s probably choreography too, so try incorporating it and have fun!

Snow BlossomMika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima “Yuki no Hana” MUSIC VIDEO

It’s a classic winter karaoke song.

For a Mika Nakashima track, it has relatively few high notes, so I think it’s very easy for amateurs to sing.

Since it’s a ballad, there’s plenty of time to breathe, and it’s surprisingly easy to perform.
