[If You Can Sing These, You're Amazing!] Cool Karaoke Songs for Women

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA

LiSA “Gurenge” -MUSIC CLIP YouTube EDIT ver.-

This is LiSA’s 15th single overall, released in July 2019.

It served as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and, riding on the anime’s success, became a massive hit.

I’m sure many of you have heard it.

While LiSA’s dynamic and powerful vocals on this track are certainly worthy of praise, I personally believe the most noteworthy aspect of her singing here is the switch in vocal expression from the opening section—just piano and voice—to the moment the band comes in.

That kind of sudden yet seamless shift in singing is surprisingly hard to pull off when you actually try it.

I encourage you to sing it with attention to that level of detail.

【MV】Go-Getters – Mori Calliope (Ending Theme of Suicide Squad: ISEKAI)

Popular VTuber Mori Calliope’s new song “Go-Getters.” Released as the theme song for the anime “Suicide Squad Isekai,” which is currently gaining attention overseas, the track blends the intensity and cuteness that define Mori Calliope’s appeal.

With her rock band background, the song features repeated use of powerful techniques like shouts.

On top of that, the wide pitch range makes it a piece that requires considerable vocal skill to pull off.

Rira Ikuta “Lens” Official Music Video

This is singer-songwriter Lila Ikuta’s sixth digital-only single, released on June 14, 2022.

Since it’s the theme song for the TBS drama “Is Love Sustainable? ~A March for Father and Daughter’s Marriage~,” many of you may have heard it there.

The song itself has a gentle, slightly ballad-like feel, but within it Lila showcases a wide range of vocal techniques, especially in the higher register, which I think would be quite challenging to replicate exactly in karaoke.

If you plan to sing it at karaoke, be sure to listen closely to the original and try to reproduce the vocal nuances and techniques used in each section.

It’s hard to convey tips for singing well using only text, but even just controlling the speed of your breath when you produce sound can greatly expand your expressive range, so I encourage you to experiment with that too.

Awich, NENE, LANA, MaRI, AI & YURIYAN RETRIEVER – Bad B*tch Aesthetics Remix (Prod. Chaki Zulu)

This work brings together standout women from Japan’s hip-hop scene.

Alongside Awich, NENE, LANA, and MaRI, AI and YURIYAN RETRIEVER also join to complete the track.

With the theme of strong, independent womanhood, their mic relay showcases each artist’s individuality to stunning effect.

Released in July 2023, the song is also included on Awich’s album “The Union.” Their performance on the music show “Music Station” in October of the same year became a hot topic.

Split the parts with your friends at karaoke, and it’s guaranteed to be a hit—give it a try!

BurningHitsuji Bungaku

Hitsujibungaku – Burning (Official Music Video) [TV Anime “Oshi no Ko” Season 2 Ending Theme Song]

Hitsujibungaku is an alternative rock band that has been active since the 2010s.

Their highly sophisticated musicianship has earned them acclaim not only from mainstream audiences but also from critics.

Among their songs, one I especially recommend as being difficult to sing is Burning.

Crafted like Western alternative rock, the track is inherently tricky to lock into rhythm-wise.

There aren’t advanced techniques like vocal runs, but considering the rhythm and groove, it’s a high-difficulty song.

Forbidden taleBAND-MAID

BAND-MAID / Forbidden tale (Official Music Video)

BAND-MAID is a girls’ rock band that has consistently remained popular since 2013.

Their hard rock–centered sound is still going strong and continues to earn high praise in the Japanese rock scene.

Among their songs, the one I highly recommend as an impressive challenge to sing is Forbidden tale.

The overall difficulty is high, of course, but the C melody is especially tough.

It features advanced “fakes” (vocal riffs/ad-libs) often used in R&B.

They’re far more difficult than the typical pop-style fakes, so definitely give it a try.

ultramarineYOASOBI

YOASOBI – Gunjou / THE FIRST TAKE

YOASOBI, an artist symbolic of the Reiwa era, captivates with Ayase’s catchy yet nuanced compositions and ikura’s flawless vocals.

Among their many popular songs, “Gunjou” portrays youthful passion.

Its melody is built on a broader, more accessible rhythm than their signature hit “Yoru ni Kakeru,” yet it spans an even wider vocal range—lowering the key to accommodate the high notes can actually make the low notes tougher—making it a high-difficulty piece.

It showcases ikura’s exceptional vocal ability to the fullest.

It’s a song I especially recommend to women confident in their singing skills.
