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

Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~Elsa

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)

The theme song of the blockbuster film Frozen, “Let It Go.” It’s such a popular song that most people have sung it at least once.

The way the song builds gradually means it starts gently, making it easy to catch the pitch.

The key to singing this song is to project your voice properly.

Both the chorus and the bridge require considerable volume, so practice them.

As long as you can hit slightly higher notes, you can sing it.

Then work on vocal power so you can really make it resonate.

Playback Part 2 (May 1, 1978) / Momoe Yamaguchi

During the golden age of Showa-era pop idols, Momoe Yamaguchi was a sensation who took Japan by storm.

Her presence was strikingly strong and dignified—almost unthinkable by today’s idol standards—and her vocal ability was overwhelming.

This famous song showcases the stark contrast between the idol qualities of then and now.

half-baked thoughtYukichi Honorable Mention / men

Yukichi Award-Winning/men – Half-Ripe Thoughts (Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Yukichi Kousaku/men, who has won popularity with a uniquely original musical style.

Characterized by a distinctive techno sound infused with ambient elements, she consistently releases striking tracks with a musicality unlike anything else.

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

Throughout the piece, the vocal range is narrow and there are no long sustained notes.

What’s more, in the chorus the track takes precedence over the vocal line, making it easy to sing—you can even catch your breath during the hook.

In Love with the MirrorPraise

Praise – In Love with the Mirror

Reisan is a band fronted by Saaya from the comedy duo Lalande.

Their slightly downtempo sound, which incorporates a touch of Black music while staying on trend, has become popular, and although the band is still relatively new, they’ve already churned out multiple hit songs.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is their new single, “Kagami ni Koishite” (In Love with the Mirror).

While hints of Black music peek through at key moments, the song is fundamentally based on orthodox J-pop, so the vocal line itself is simple.

There aren’t many drastic pitch jumps, so anyone with a basic level of vocal technique should be able to sing it without much difficulty.

SketchAimyon

AIMYON – Sketch [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

In recent years, Aimyon’s songs have tended to have a somewhat dramatic flavor and have been relatively challenging in terms of vocal lines.

However, this work is different.

Crafted as a classic J-POP ballad that could be seen as a return to basics, it features a relaxed tempo and a relatively even vocal line, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

There are virtually no tricky sections, so it’s a song well worth adding to your repertoire.

The strong and fleeting onesCocco

Cocco “The Strong and Ephemeral Ones” Music Video

Cocco is a female singer-songwriter who was active from the late 1990s to the 2000s.

She is known for a style that incorporates alternative rock and grunge into J-pop, and she excelled at soft, delicate vocals.

Among Cocco’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Tsuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).

The vocal line has gentle rises and falls, and the range isn’t very wide, so even women in their 30s with lower voices can sing it without any trouble.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

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.
