Even if you’re tone-deaf, it’s okay! Easy karaoke songs for women

A Cruel Angel's ThesisYoko Takahashi

A Cruel Angel's Thesis – Yoko Takahashi (Full)

The up-tempo, lively intro that sets your heart dancing makes “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” a standout track.

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, released in 1995.

The lyrics evoke the anime’s protagonist and make you want to listen when you’re about to start something new or need a boost of courage.

Thanks to its brisk tempo, even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy it at karaoke by delivering it clearly and energetically.

The melody is so pleasant that listeners will find themselves humming along, and it’s the kind of song that naturally lifts your spirits.

It’s perfect for building momentum at karaoke and brightening the atmosphere.

Bad personKano Sennritsu

Kano Kanaru “Bad Person” M/V

Kanano Senritsu has been getting a lot of attention lately.

Her song ‘Warui Hito’ (Bad Person) is her new single, themed around her recent heartbreak.

Despite the raw lyrics, the vocal line and melody are surprisingly simple, with no complex pitch movements throughout.

Many may perceive it as high, but since the song doesn’t span a wide range, you can lower the key and sing it in a range that’s comfortable for you.

It also doesn’t require vibrato, so if you want to focus purely on hitting the right pitches, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Best FriendKiroro

Best Friend – Kiroro (Full)

A number that moves listeners with lyrics overflowing with gratitude to those who are always watching over us, paired with flowing piano and melody.

Released in 2001 as Kiroro’s 10th single, this song was reportedly written by vocalist Chiharu Tamashiro for her partner, Ayano Kinjo.

In karaoke, rather than focusing on singing perfectly, try delivering it as if you’re savoring the lyrics and speaking to someone.

Along with the pleasant accompaniment, aim to convey a simple, gentle feeling.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE

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

When it comes to karaoke-friendly songs for women without a wide vocal range, “Sankyu.” comes to mind.

The musical duo DREAMS COME TRUE, known for delivering soulful vocals to their listeners, released it in 1995.

The light, crisp guitar playing set against a jazzy vibe is especially striking.

Among their songs, this one has an easy-to-follow pitch and a singable melody line.

It’s in a comfortable range even for women who struggle with high notes.

How about singing this message song overflowing with gratitude for your friends or your partner?

I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Yuki Kaai)Yukopi

Yukopi – I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Kaa Yuki)

Composer Yukopi is known for a uniquely distinctive style.

Many of you have probably heard songs like “Gale All Back” and “Wake-Up Palm Tree.” Among Yukopi’s tracks, the one I especially recommend for women who struggle with pitch is “I Want to Eat Naan (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” This piece has one of the narrowest vocal ranges among Yukopi’s songs.

The melody is simple as well, so even those who are tone-deaf or can’t hit high notes should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Red Sweet PeaSeiko Matsuda

Red Sweet Pea

This is one of Seiko Matsuda’s signature songs, released in 1982, with music composed by Yumi Matsutoya (known as Yuming).

With its flowing melody and straightforward lyrics, I think it’s a very easy song to sing.

Relax, get into the role of an adorable girl, and just sing your heart out.

Snow BlossomMika Nakashima

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.
