Recommended ballads for women (21–30)
Small SongJUJU
JUJU is also an artist who brings out a gentle low register, and she has lots of easy-to-listen-to songs! The A and B sections have a calm feel based on the mid-to-low range, so sing carefully, one phrase at a time.
Also, the final chorus modulates and goes higher—the top note reaches D5—so it might be a bit tough for lower-voiced women, but be careful not to strain your throat or belt.
Sing with the sensation of a soft hum, imagining the sound resonating in your forehead and the top of your head.
Doing this may expand your vocal range and help you sing a wider variety of songs!
Capsuleaiko
Among aiko’s songs, this one doesn’t go very high in pitch and is easier to sing compared to others, so it’s a good choice for aiming for a perfect 100! It’s a relatively relaxed tempo, so instead of singing each phrase in one breath, make sure to take solid breaths between phrases.
Also, since the arrangement builds up gradually toward the latter half of the chorus, keeping your voice firmly on the mic will likely earn you extra points for expressiveness.
Overall, I recommend singing with steady, unwavering tone throughout.
Strangerstuki.
The A and B verses sit around F#3 and are quite low, but if you can get through that part, the rest is in a key that should be comfortable for many female singers, so it’s easier to keep pitch and aim for a perfect score.
According to records from June 2025, the average JOYSOUND karaoke scoring for this song is about 90.
51.
I think the key to scoring 90 or above is stability in the low notes! Be mindful not to let your pitch drop too much on the low notes that come after the A, B, and bridge sections.
For the chorus, singing with clear accents makes it easier to lock into the rhythm, so that might work well!
EndlessTOMOO
A piano ballad by TOMOO that sincerely portrays a straightforward love for someone dear.
A pure wish for an enduring, certain bond that goes beyond physical fulfillment resonates with delicate melodies.
Expressing the depth of love and its complex emotions, this piece was chosen as the ending theme for the 2024 October drama “Zen Ryōiki Ijō Kaiketsu-shitsu” (All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office).
Its simple yet expansive piano sound and TOMOO’s smoky vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a song to listen to when you’re struggling with a relationship with someone important, or when you want to sort out your feelings for them.
The earnest sentiment and gentle, enveloping voice will surely stay close to your heart.
Sentimental KissReira Shio
A gentle ballad by Reira Shio that delivers bittersweet feelings on a warm acoustic sound.
The lyrics delicately portray the distance between lovers after a breakup and the emotions wavering between heart and body, resonating deeply.
Her voice weaves memories of a feverish love and a faint lingering warmth with novel-like beauty, tenderly embracing the kind of heartache everyone has felt at least once.
Released in March 2022, the song was also used as background music for ABEMA’s dating show “He and the Wolf-chan Won’t Deceive.” It’s a track that will stay by your side on nights when you want to bask in memories of someone special, or when you need someone to hear the feelings you can’t hold inside.
A Naked HeartAimyon
“Naked Heart” is a song released by Aimyon in 2020 and used as the theme song for the drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.
” It portrays, in a straightforward way, the frustration of unrequited love, the loneliness of being alone, and feelings for someone you love.
Although the song is written from a female perspective, Aimyon’s calm vocals and wistful melody are likely to make even male listeners think, “What a great song!” As Aimyon’s music is popular across both younger and older generations, this is definitely one track you’ll want to have in your repertoire.
Night of OsmanthusMushroom Empire
Singing a bittersweet love ballad at karaoke is also a great idea.
Kinoko Teikoku’s “Kinmokusei no Yoru” is a band-sound ballad with an easy-to-follow melody, and the key is comfortable for most women to sing.
If you try singing gently, almost like an intimate acoustic performance, it should bring out the song’s retro feel and wistful atmosphere!
