Songs to Help Women Sing Better: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke
Conditions for becoming a better singer.
Of course, acquiring correct and efficient vocal production is the most important point, but if you can’t apply the fundamentals you’ve learned to actual songs, it won’t amount to much.
To build that kind of “real-world ability,” it’s crucial to choose appropriate practice songs and, by singing them, develop the expressive skills needed to perform actual pieces.
In this article, I’ve selected songs that seem optimal for the goal of “getting better at singing.”
Even when someone says, “I want to become a better singer,” everyone’s current level varies, so I’ve chosen a wide range—from beginner-friendly songs to more difficult ones.
Some of the individual song introduction articles also include brief tips on how to sing them, so please use those as references and do your best to further improve your skills with the help of this article.
That said, the most important thing is to pick songs you love—the ones that make you think, “I want to sing this!” or “I want to be able to sing this!”—and enjoy singing them.

First LoveHikaru Utada
Released in April 1999 as Hikaru Utada’s third single.
Perhaps due to her background, Utada’s songs—highly praised for a vocal ability uncommon in Japan—make this one an advanced selection for karaoke.
To sing it cleanly and dynamically like she does, precise control of both “voice” and “breath” is crucial.
While the powerful mix voice and beautiful falsetto are striking, what truly stands out here is the low register singing in the A section.
It might not be an exaggeration to call it astonishing for a young woman to produce such solid low notes.
This song is an ideal practice piece for mastering a wide range of vocal techniques.
I'm only gazing at you.Maki Ohguro
As an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Maki Ohguro has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.
She began performing in bands in high school and made her debut in 1992.
Since then, she has colored the music scene with songs rooted in pop while embracing a wide range of genres, including rock and R&B.
Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she won the Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards and the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.
After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be energetically active today.
Her world, conveyed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate deeply, is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the strength and warmth that music can offer.
frecklesJUDY AND MARY
It’s JUDY AND MARY’s 9th single, released in February 1996.
YUKI’s bright, straightforward high-toned voice feels very pleasant, and to sing this song, you’ll need a no-frills, straight-ahead vocal approach.
I think it’s best suited for those confident with relatively high ranges, but if you can learn to reproduce that clear, piercing high register, your vocal ability will surely improve dramatically.
Start from a comfortable key and gradually get used to it, practicing to produce a free, expansive high tone without constricting your throat.
To avoid injuring your voice, I recommend taking vocal training lessons.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
Superfly’s fourth single, released in February 2008.
To sing this song, it’s essential to have firmly mastered proper vocal technique.
On top of that, it’s an ideal choice as a practice piece for producing straight high notes without resorting to falsetto.
At first, it’s fine to use head voice in the tougher parts, but I encourage you to try to make the performance as dynamic as possible.
It’ll be perfect once you free your throat and can use high head voice notes with ease.
Love SongUru
This is Uru’s 11th single, released on August 25, 2021.
It was also selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Oshi no Ojisama.” It’s a beautifully crafted ballad with female vocals, produced in a way that fully conveys Uru’s exceptional vocal expressiveness to the listener.
What I personally want to highlight most in this performance is the soft vocal delivery in the A-melody, where she masterfully switches at a very high level between whisper voice and chest voice.
Even the pronunciations of the voiced consonants that appear in the lyrics are sung so they sound impressively soft and clean.
And of course, the powerful yet gentle high notes—so characteristic of Uru—heard in parts of the chorus are superb as well! When you practice this song, try to train yourself to replicate details like these.
I long to see you now.MISIA
This is MISIA’s 23rd single, released in November 2009.
This song is definitely an advanced-level choice.
To sing it, it’s essential to have had formal vocal training and built a solid foundation.
On top of that, you’ll need to use and switch smoothly between mixed voice and falsetto—techniques that are practically indispensable for R&B.
In that sense, I think it’s an excellent piece for practical training for those who have already acquired the basics.
RespectAI
A digital-only single by AI, released in May 2023.
This track brings out the full allure of AI’s low-register voice and is sure to overwhelm listeners.
I think the resonant vocals and hip-hop-style beat are a perfect match.
When singing it at karaoke, aim for an emotionally rich delivery and lock in with the backing track’s beat.
Try singing while envisioning a chest voice that resonates through your entire thoracic cavity.
Open your oral cavity as much as possible and aim the sound downward; doing so should produce a well-resonant chest voice, so give it a try.
