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

ai no hana

This is Aimyon’s 14th single, released digitally in April 2023, with a CD single release also planned for June of the same year.

It was reportedly written as the theme song for the first half of NHK’s 2023 morning drama series Ranman.

Basically, the song features a very simple, singable melody and tempo, so I think it’s one of the best choices when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Try practicing to keep the slightly side-to-side swaying rhythm from becoming flat, and to switch smoothly into the higher notes within the melody.

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Ninja Re Bang Bang

This is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s fifth single overall, released in March 2013.

It was used as the CM song for KDDI and Okinawa Cellular’s “au Turn surprise into common sense.

‘FULL CONTROL/REAL’” commercial.

Just listening to it puts you in a fun mood—it’s a slightly comical track! There’s no need for any difficult explanations to sing this cheerful song.

You can have fun by mimicking the slightly Vocaloid-style vocal production, or enjoy it as a group sing-along with everyone there.

In any case, ride the rhythm, raise your voice, and just enjoy singing!

era; age; time; period

This is a single by singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima.

The original version was released in December 1975, but the one I’m introducing here is the self-cover version released in December 1993.

The song has been used in many TV show theme songs and commercials, and has been covered by numerous other artists, so many of you have likely heard it before.

As you’d expect from such a well-known track, both the melody and the lyrics are very memorable, and it’s the kind of song you can enjoy singing casually, almost like humming along.

Even in the gentler passages, try to sing with solid projection so that your voice retains its core.

The group’s 19th single, “Itsuka Dekiru Kara Kyou Dekiru,” was selected as the theme song for the film Asahinagu, in which members appeared.

It was also used as the CM song for Haruyama Shoji’s “Regional Support Festival.” As the title suggests, its message—act on your ideas right away—really hits home.

With a narrow vocal range and no large melodic leaps, it’s approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s a refreshing pop tune that feels great to sing over a clear, transparent ensemble.

Shaved Ice Unrequited LoveNogizaka46

Nogizaka46 Unrequited Love of Shaved Ice [High Quality Sound]

This song has a title that makes you go “Huh?” at first glance.

It’s included on Type-C of Nogizaka46’s second album, Sorezore no Isu, released in 2016.

The lyrics compare the fragility of unrequited love to things like shaved ice melting, portraying the aching heart of a love that likely won’t come true, a love that isn’t simple.

The vocal range is very narrow, so as long as you choose the right key, people with any voice type can sing it comfortably.

The lyrics can also be sung at a relaxed pace, so among Nogizaka’s songs, it’s on the easier side for karaoke.

This is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s seventh single overall, released in September 2023.

It was pre-released digitally in July of the same year and was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.

m.

drama “Midsummer Cinderella.” It’s a medium-to up-tempo track with a very refreshing vibe! Vocalist Haruko Nagaya delivers a superb performance, deftly switching between chest voice and falsetto—especially in the chorus—but the vocal melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so I think it’s quite singable for the general public to pick casually at karaoke.

The song is striking for vocals that convey a broad, flowing phrasing over a slightly up-tempo backing track, so be careful not to let your singing rush along with the track.

It’s best to sing with an understanding of the larger phrasing of each line, so be sure to listen closely to the original and prepare in advance.

Things I like about youKana Nishino

Kana Nishino “The Things I Like About You” MV (Short Ver.)

The 28th single, “Anata no Suki na Tokoro” (The Things I Like About You), was used as the commercial song for Otsuka Foods’ vitamin soda MATCH.

The arrangement opens with a memorable piano tone, gently complementing lyrics that portray a steadfast love for both the good and bad sides of a partner.

There are a few rapid-fire phrases here and there, but because the melody is simple, you should be able to sing it well as long as you mind the tempo.

The vocal range isn’t wide either, so even if the original key doesn’t suit you, adjusting it should make the song easy to sing.

It’s a highly recommended pick for karaoke.
