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

Whimsical RomanticIkimonogakari

Capricious Romantic – Ikimono-gakari (Full)

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 12th single, released in December 2008.

It’s a very Ikimono-gakari-like pop rock tune—bright, energetic, and a bit up-tempo—making it extremely approachable as a karaoke pick.

However, despite vocalist Yoshioka’s cute, friendly tone, her singing is remarkably stable in terms of projection and pitch, so it might be a bit challenging to sing it exactly like the original.

The melody itself is straightforward and pop, with no particularly tricky parts, so the key to making it sound good is to focus on solid vocal production while keeping it cheerful and fun.

It’s a really enjoyable song, so singers should have as much fun as they can while performing it!

Apply false eyelashesKyary Pamyu Pamyu

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Put On False Eyelashes

This was Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s first single, released in January 2012.

Since the original track, including the vocal processing, was produced in the so-called “Yasutaka sound,” some people might feel there’s a certain difficulty in having a real live human (?) sing it at karaoke.

But don’t worry—the melody itself is simple, and the vocal range used in the song is within a comfortable range for anyone to sing without strain! It’s fun to imitate Kyary’s style when you sing it, and on the flip side, I think it could also feel great if you lean fully into a natural, human-like delivery.

Try singing it in your own way and enjoy it!

Ninjari Ban BanKyary Pamyu Pamyu

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!

Every Second （Japanese ver.）Miina Okabe

MiiNA OKABE “Every Second (Japanese ver.)” Ending theme song for the TBS anime “A Condition Called Love” (Official Music Video)

Miina Okabe is a female singer-songwriter active in Copenhagen.

She’s half Danish and half Japanese, and while she’s primarily based in Copenhagen, she’s been appearing on the Japanese scene more and more lately.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Every Second (Japanese ver.

).” It has a groovy feel, but it unfolds with a subdued vocal tone from start to finish, so it doesn’t require powerful projection or high notes.

dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto

Hitoto Yo – Hanamizuki

Hitoto Yo’s hugely popular song “Hanamizuki.” This piece can be called a classic ballad.

With its steady melody and easy-to-catch rhythm, it’s a song that’s easy to sing.

It doesn’t include elements like shouts or screams, so you can sing it calmly.

The chorus requires resonant vocals, but as long as you project your voice properly, you should be able to sing it without trouble.

There’s a slight key change toward the latter half, but with practice it won’t be an issue—focus on the key points as you sing.

TouchYoshimi Iwasaki

Touch

Released in 1985 as Yoshimi Iwasaki’s 20th single.

It’s the first opening theme of the anime “Touch” and a well-known classic.

This is always mentioned as an easy song to sing.

The key isn’t high, and the melody lets the lyrics flow smoothly, so even if you’re not confident in your singing, you’ll be fine! It’s very easy to sing and highly recommended due to its popularity.

The Maiden with Flaxen HairHitomi Shimatani

Hitomi Shimatani / "A Maiden with Flaxen Hair" [OFFICIAL MV FULL SIZE]

This song was originally released by the Village Singers, and in 2002 a cover single sung by Hitomi Shimatani was released.

It has both slow and up-tempo sections, but since the same melody is repeated, it’s an easy song to sing.
