Mutual-love songs that are easy for women to sing at karaoke

Aimyon – Zarame [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon’s classic “Zarame.” Aimyon has many great songs, but this one is especially captivating for its emotional vocals.

The part where that quality shines the most is, of course, the chorus.

The chorus features emotional singing that makes effective use of falsetto.

Falsetto might sound challenging, but because the pitch gap before and after the falsetto is wide, it’s surprisingly easy to produce.

The rest is built around mid-tempo phrases in the low to mid register, so unless your voice is extremely raspy, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.

Figure

A masterpiece whose refined and calm musicality evokes the night, “Sugata.” In terms of genre, it’s an orthodox J-pop piece, and the vocal line is crafted simply to suit the Japanese vocal range.

While the melody is generally steady with few dramatic shifts, a slightly higher falsetto appears in the chorus, so take care there.

Singing higher is fine, but if the key is set too low, producing the falsetto becomes unnecessarily difficult.

Be sure to determine the appropriate key and sing accordingly.

Aimyong’s masterpiece “Hyohaku,” with its striking acoustic melody.

It starts with a verse in the low or lower-mid range and gradually ramps up the voltage from there, so the overall vocal range is somewhat wide.

A wide range might seem challenging, but that doesn’t mean every part is difficult.

This song’s highest section lands in the upper-mid range—borderline high—so if you identify the right key for your voice, it’s actually easy to sing.

It leans more toward a wide low range, making it especially recommended for women with lower voices.

Riria. / Love, etc. [Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Riria has gained popularity with catchy melodies and vocals, along with bittersweet lyrics that capture the romantic feelings of teenage girls.

Because many of her songs feature higher pitches, some women might shy away from singing them.

That’s why I recommend “Aitoka.” The chorus does include falsetto, but since the pitch ascends in a stepwise, stair-like manner, it’s surprisingly not very difficult.

The other parts sit in the low–mid to mid range, so even women who struggle with high notes will find this song easy to sing—as long as they can produce falsetto.

Surely more than anyone else in the worldMiho Nakayama & WANDS

Surely more than anyone else in the world

A song where a bittersweet vocal and rock sound fuse in exquisite balance.

Released in October 1992 and drawing attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Dareka ga Kanojo o Aishiteru” (“Someone Loves Her”), this work is a heartwarming love song themed around straightforward feelings of love and a fateful reunion.

The unique world created by the call-and-response between Miho Nakayama & WANDS, along with the dramatic melody crafted by Tetsurō Oda, took the No.

1 spot on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Try singing it with a friend—by layering your voices with an eye toward the lift in the chorus, you’re sure to create a beautiful harmony.

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.

Hana*Hana “Ah, I’m glad (Setagaya Mix)”

The music duo Hana*Hana gained popularity with their warm, gentle sound.

They have several mega-hits, so I think many women in their 40s remember them.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is A~ Yokatta.

It’s a classic J-pop ballad, with a gently rising and falling vocal line, a relatively narrow range, and modest long tones—features that make it easy to sing, even for those who aren’t confident singers.
