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

Be noble, my friend.Shiyui

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury ED 'Kimi yo, Kedakaku Are' by Shiyui

This is Shiyui’s major debut work, released in November 2022, after building her career by posting videos on social media and YouTube.

It was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

Listening to this song, I was struck by her dynamic yet delicate vocals.

She masterfully switches between a powerful, slightly masculine low register and a high tone filled with feminine warmth, delivering a superb performance with remarkable versatility.

There’s a certain inorganic quality that hints at a slight Vocaloid-like element, yet it never becomes mechanical—her expressive singing remains outstanding.

You might even catch a glimpse of a new frontier in vocal music.

Polkadot Stingray “Telecaster Stripe” MV

Razor-sharp guitar and rhythmic drums, a gritty, driving bass, and sultry vocals.

This piece by the rock band Polkadot Stingray—known for releasing highly addictive tracks—was released in 2016.

It expresses the fleeting nature of love with uniquely distinctive wording.

Rather than singing it straight, you might try incorporating rolled R’s and other articulations to draw out the song’s atmosphere.

How about covering it with a female-vocal band?

Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima

Stars on the Ground / Miyuki Nakajima [Official]

This song is extremely famous as the theme song for NHK’s TV program “Project X: Challengers,” which aired from 2000 to 2005.

You could even call it a karaoke staple.

It doesn’t demand an especially high vocal range, so as long as you follow the melody carefully, it should be fairly easy to sing.

And of course, delivering it with a bit of impersonation will definitely hype up the crowd!

To meMika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima “For Me” MUSIC VIDEO

Included on Mika Nakashima’s first self-produced album “I,” which was released on May 4, 2022.

The song we’re introducing here, “Boku ni wa,” was released digitally in advance of the album.

It’s crafted as a ballad that lets you fully savor Nakashima’s gentle, soulful vocals.

When singing this at karaoke, the most important point is, of course, how faithfully you can reproduce that voice and expressive delivery that really sinks into the heart.

The way you create contrast between the first half—centered on piano and vocals—and the singing after the backing track’s rhythm kicks in is also a part that will test the singer’s sensibility.

If you’re confident in your singing, this is a song you should definitely try.

Goodbyes are my catchphraseRie Yoshizawa

Goodbye Is My Catchphrase – Rie Yoshizawa

This is the fourth single by Rie Yoshizawa, a female singer from Toshiki Kadomatsu’s singer-produce project VOCALAND, released on July 16, 1998.

As you’d expect from a vocalist who earned the approval of Mr.

Kadomatsu—known for his exacting standards—the quality of her singing is first-rate.

She delivers a solid performance on a 16-beat style track—a feel that many Japanese singers tend to struggle with—without slipping into a “kayōkyoku-style” groove.

It’s also noteworthy that her singing avoids the kind of affected “overly black” tone that some so-called powerhouse Japanese singers tend to adopt.

At first listen, the song might not sound showily difficult, but when you actually try to sing it, you’ll likely notice both her exceptional vocal ability and the track’s high level of difficulty.

If you’re confident in your singing, give it a try!

One Last KissHikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada 'One Last Kiss'

This song quickly became a hot topic the moment its music video was released as the theme for Evangelion: 3.

0+1.

0 Thrice Upon a Time.

It’s a very cool track with that signature Hikaru Utada R&B groove.

In terms of range, it sits within the typical female vocal range, but it’s distinctive for its heavy use of falsetto.

Whether you can execute that falsetto well will likely determine whether you can sing this song stylishly.

As with all of her music, another key point is how well you can express the track’s groove through your vocals—how skillfully you can ride that cool track.

I'm crazy about youHikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada “Kimi ni Muchū”

This is Hikaru Utada’s 11th digital single, released on November 26, 2021.

It was selected as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Saiai.” From her debut, Utada has been renowned for her vocal ability, so I don’t need to tell you that singing her songs at karaoke is a high hurdle.

Even so, her vocal skill and expressive power have matured even further lately, making her artistry all the more captivating.

This track isn’t flashy—in fact, it’s rather restrained—but her ability to deliver such a difficult melody with such softness is nothing short of remarkable.

If you can sing this at karaoke and fully recreate the cool, emotional vibe of the original, you’re sure to earn high praise from those around you.

When you sing it, be careful not to make the high notes sound harsh or piercing.
