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

Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima

Stars on the Ground / Miyuki Nakajima [Official]

This song by Miyuki Nakajima was created as the theme for NHK General TV’s popular program “Project X: Challengers.” Released in 2000, it’s an epic piece.

Since Miyuki Nakajima has a distinctive voice and singing style, it’s also recommended for people with lower voices or those who don’t consider themselves great singers.

Even if you’re a little off-key, the key to success is to fully channel Miyuki Nakajima as you sing.

Goodbye, my beloved.Hana*Hana

Hana*Hana “Goodbye, My Beloved”

Here is a song that Izumi Kojima wrote and dedicated to her grandfather, who passed away when she was 16.

It was released in 2000.

It sounds really nice as a duet, so it might be a good idea to sing it with another person who sings well and is good at harmonies.

It’s a simple song with an uncomplicated melody, so I recommend steadily practicing with a song like this.

UFOPink Lady

UFO [Furitsuke] / PINK LADY

This was the sixth single by Pink Lady, an idol group emblematic of the Showa era, released in December 1977.

If you’re choosing songs based on how easy they are to sing, you can’t leave out Showa-era pop, and it’s no exaggeration to say this track is at the top of the list of “easy-to-sing, easy-to-remember” songs.

Back then, many girls in elementary and junior high schools would sing while dancing, imitating the duo.

If you watch the footage, learn the choreography, and sing while dancing, you might find it even more fun!

MermaidYuka

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her unique musicality influenced by Western music.

She’s an artist with a slightly lower voice, and her mellow, gentle singing style is particularly striking.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Mermaid.

While it’s built on a slow-jam foundation, it doesn’t feature a challenging R&B-style vocal line with frequent ad-libs; instead, the vocal line maintains a relatively even contour throughout.

The chorus does incorporate mixed voice, but since it’s a non-belting mixed voice, even women in their 30s with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

Secret of my heartMai Kuraki

Mai Kuraki 'Secret of my heart'

For some people, the names Mai Kuraki and Ryoko Shinohara bring to mind nothing but Conan.

It’s rare to find a singer who, like her, projects cleanliness while also having trained overseas, and that unexpected contrast likely contributed to her success.

She could have gone with a flashier, more assertive image, but the way she was marketed was very skillful.

Kiss in the morningCreepHyp

Creephype - “Kiss in the Morning” (MUSIC VIDEO)

CreepHyp is a popular band fronted by vocalist Sekai Kan Ozaki.

They specialize in indie rock rooted in pop music and have released numerous hit songs.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Asa ni Kiss.

You might not feel this way because of the full-band arrangement, but the vocal line is as simple as a children’s song, and there aren’t many high notes, so even someone who’s tone-deaf—if they’re a woman—would find it very easy to sing.

CinderellaTohru

Tomei – Cinderella Covered in Ashes [Official Lyric Video]

Tomei, the female singer who rose to popularity with Suzume feat.

Toaka, the theme song of the film Suzume, has continued to release a number of hit songs since that track’s success and remains active in the mainstream today.

Among Tomei’s works, the song I especially recommend is Haikaburi.

It’s a stylish, gothic track, and if you sing it in a whisper voice, it can instantly create a mood and sound good even if you’re not a strong singer.
