[Karaoke] A roundup of songs that are easy for women to sing!

BIBIBI0am

0am “BIBIBI” Music Video

0am is a project by MAKIADACHI and COMiNUM.

While it’s often categorized as alternative rock, its fundamentally genreless musicality is a hallmark, earning high praise from hardcore music aficionados.

Among 0am’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “BIBIBI.” It blends an alternative vibe with the freshness of artcore, and features an ennui-laden vocal line with a relatively narrow range.

Hana-Yoi – Jewel (MV)

Hana-yoi is an indie band that’s rapidly gaining momentum.

They still have some rough edges, but their delicate musicality already feels complete, earning them a fervent following in certain circles.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hōseki (Jewel).

It’s the kind of track where the voltage rises bit by bit, yet the vocal range is fairly narrow and the high notes appear only briefly, making it quite easy to sing.

The Ten CommandmentsAdo

[Ado] The Ten Commandments (1984) (Lyric Video)

When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.

In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.

Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.

That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Specially, do it.＝LOVE

=LOVE (Equal Love) / 18th Single “Tokubechu, Shite” [MV full]

=LOVE, the idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.

Rather than the currently mainstream K-pop style, they specialize in classic, old-school idol songs.

Their new track is Tokubechu, Shite.

While it has a polished, poppy feel, its vocal range is surprisingly not that wide, and the melody line moves gently without big jumps in pitch, making it a song where you can realistically aim for a perfect score.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Don't give upZARD

Don't give up (What a beautiful memory ~forever you~)

ZARD’s sixth single, released in January 1993.

As for the song itself, it’s such a massive hit that it hardly needs any explanation.

It has a very catchy, easy-to-remember melody and is crafted with a thoughtfully designed vocal range that’s likely comfortable for just about anyone to sing.

The tune is easy to hum and not difficult, so try singing it with a bright, energetic feel!

cherry (cherry fruit; sakuranbo)Ai Otsuka

Ai Otsuka / Sakuranbo

It’s Ai Otsuka’s second single, released in December 2003.

It’s a very bright, catchy song with a simple, easy-to-remember melody, so even people who don’t usually go to karaoke can pick it casually and have fun.

The vocal range used in the song isn’t very wide either, so I think there are hardly anyone who can’t sing it.

She uses falsetto in the chorus, but if switching registers doesn’t go smoothly for you, there’s no need to force yourself to sing it the same way.

It’s a song you can just enjoy for the vibe!

JoyfulIkimonogakari

Ikimono-gakari – Joyful

Ikimono-gakari’s 15th single, released in September 2009.

It’s a very upbeat rock number, and the vocal melody—making extensive use of the pentatonic scale, a staple of rock—is extremely easy to sing.

Even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to ride the groove and momentum and belt it out in one go.

Don’t worry about the details—just enjoy the simple act of raising your voice and sing!
