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.

[For Women] Songs to Improve Your Singing: Practice Tracks for Getting Better at Karaoke (11–20)
That's Why I Gave Up MusicNEW!Yorushika
This is a song included as the title track of Yorushika’s first full album.
The entire album is structured as a concept album, and its theme seems to be a narrative of “a young man who has to quit music writing a song to a woman.” Within the song, there are both quiet sections and powerful expressions, so if you can switch up your vocal delivery, you can sing it really cool.
But it’s also recommended for those who just want to convey their feelings without focusing too much on that.
It might be good to start by listening and singing along repeatedly so you can keep the rhythm accurately.
When you finally sing it at karaoke, you’ll probably feel great once you finish.
For the fast-paced parts, don’t try to pronounce every single syllable—aim to sing smoothly along with the melody; and for the lines in the last chorus that feel like spoken dialogue, try saying them clearly!
periodNEW!Erika Ikuta
Erika Ikuta, a former member of Nogizaka46, has been highly praised for her vocal ability since her idol days, and after graduating she has been active both as a TV personality and as an artist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Period.
While the track features many falsetto passages, they’re not the ultra-high kind; they’re at a level you can comfortably handle with a whispery-leaning mixed voice, and the lowest notes are fairly high as well, so the high range shouldn’t feel too demanding.
Because the song allows for a wide key drop, I also recommend lowering the key as much as you need to find a comfortable range.
My WishNEW!AI
This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.
The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.
Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.
You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.
You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.
It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.
Midnight Door ~ Stay With MeMiki Matsubara
Miki Matsubara’s classic “Mayonaka no Door — Stay With Me” is known as a signature work of city pop, which boasts worldwide popularity.
It’s also a perfect number for improving your vocal skills.
The real charm of this song lies in its expansive long tones.
They’re not just long; they feature well-controlled vibrato with dynamic nuance, making it ideal for building fundamental vocal technique.
Since it’s hard to practice vibrato with many recent songs, be sure to use this track for your practice.
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
KILL LOVEano
At tempo 192, ano’s “KILL LOVE” is a very fast, band-driven track.
The structure builds to a big lift in the chorus, making it a super refreshing song to sing! The range isn’t that high, so you can comfortably sing it in chest voice.
In the A and B sections, sing with ano’s usual laid-back, conversational vibe, while the chorus turns full-on rock in both lyrics and feel—so it’ll sound coolest if you belt it out with an “unleash your feelings” kind of emotion.
Also, since the tempo is very fast, pay attention to your breath placement.
The chorus especially has continuous melodies, so take a deep breath right before it, and be careful not to blow out all your air at once—manage your airflow! If you tense your chest and shoulders when inhaling, you’ll slip into shallow chest breathing and won’t get enough air.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on directing the breath into your abdomen.

companion on the road; fellow traveler; taking someone along (often unwillingly)Hoshimachi Suisei
This is a 2023 song by Suisei Hoshimachi, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Ayase from YOASOBI.
The song features many key changes throughout, resulting in a very dramatic piece.
While the overall vocal range is on the lower side, the range shifts between sections, making it enjoyable for those who find simpler songs unsatisfying.
For singers accustomed to high notes, it may feel low, so raising the key a bit could make it easier to sing.
From around the pre-chorus (B-melo), the pitch changes with almost every word, so it’s best to go through each note one by one, as if stepping up and down stairs.
Switching between head voice and chest voice is essential, so practice smooth transitions and aim to hit the pitch accurately—think of maintaining a slightly surprised expression to help with placement.
It seems to be a staple in Hoshimachi’s live performances, so learning this song will definitely be worthwhile!
