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

Cutie HoneyKumi Koda

Kumi Koda / Cutie Honey

Kumi Koda’s anime song “Cutie Honey” sells itself on being sexy and cool, so it’s a track where performance matters more than vocal prowess.

Nuance is more important than pitch.

Do your best to embody the sexiest, coolest version of yourself.

With that effort, being off-key will become a trivial concern.

The reason I laughASCA

ASCA “The Reason I Smile” Music Video (TV Anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig” Opening Theme)

A single by ASCA, released in November 2023.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig.” It’s an upbeat, very energetic track, and since the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, both tempo-wise and melody-wise it’s an easy pick for karaoke that anyone can sing without strain.

Because it’s such a catchy, groove-heavy song, the performance can fall apart if your vocal rhythm gets sloppy, so be sure to feel the rhythm of the backing track and sing in time!

GRUNGE WORLDBiSH

GRUNGE WORLD

The song “GRUNGE WORLD,” which serves as the closing number of the major third album “CARROTS and STiCKS,” was featured as the CM song for the Ashi Rira Sheet “100% na Asa” commercial.

Its introspective lyrics, which confront one’s own sense of self-worth, pierce the heart alongside a laid-back shuffle-beat ensemble.

Since the melody doesn’t move much and has no large interval jumps, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

However, be sure to stay aware of the beat so you don’t drift away from the bouncy rhythm.

The major 3rd single “PAiNT it BLACK,” which was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Black Clover, was also used in a Round1 commercial and became the group’s first hit to top the Oricon Weekly Chart.

For a BiSH song, the key starts high from the very first line and rises even further in the chorus, so caution is needed; however, because there isn’t much melodic movement, it’s relatively easy to memorize and sing.

With its exhilarating beat, it’s a rock tune that feels great to perform and is perfect for livening up a karaoke session.

spare of despair

The song “spare of despair,” included on the second major album THE GUERRiLLA BiSH, features lyrics by Ayuni D.

Its ensemble creates a strong hook through elements like the verse’s off-beat guitar riff and a B-section rich in syncopation, generating momentum.

Although the structure is complex with rapidly shifting rhythms, the overall key is low and the vocal range narrow, making it relatively easy to sing.

With its many developments, it’s fun to perform and a recommended pop tune for karaoke selections.

we / usELAIZA

ELAIZA – “We” (official video)

Eiza Ikeda is not only an accomplished actress but also highly active as a singer.

Many teenage girls probably admire her alluring, slightly melancholic vibe.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Watashitachi (“We”).

Its style is R&B, but it doesn’t use the advanced vocal techniques typical of authentic R&B, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

If the chorus feels a bit high for you, try lowering the key by one semitone.

Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

Among teenage girls, I think many listen to Vocaloid on a daily basis.

For those listeners, I recommend “Kyofu All Back (feat.

Kaai Yuki).” This track was a major hit in 2023, and the slightly off-pitch recorder gives it a uniquely charming flavor.

As for the vocal line, there are no long sustained notes and the range is narrow, making it very easy to sing.

It works well if you stick to a simple delivery close to the original, and it also sounds good with added arrangements.

Definitely give it a try.
