A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Upbeat songs recommended for women: Popular Japanese tracks that’ll get cheers when you sing them (11–20)

To Those Who Know the Blue of the SkyAimyon

Aimyon – A Person Who Knows the Blue of the Sky [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A Person Who Knows the Blue of the Sky - Aimyon

This is the song that was also used as the theme for the film “Her Blue Sky.” There’s a band in the movie too, and this track fit perfectly.

Since Aimyon’s vocal range is originally on the lower side, this song is comfortable even for women with lower voices.

The tempo is medium, making it easy to sing, so be sure to try this popular tune and liven up the crowd!

Please, Bach!Hinatazaka46

Hinatazaka46 “Please, Bach!” Music Video

Please, Bach! Hinatazaka46

A bright song with a catchy chorus melody and an appealing sense of rhythm.

Since many parts aren’t too high and can be sung without strain, it’s a relatively easy idol song for women to sing! It’s a cheerful, energetic track characteristic of Hinatazaka, so it will definitely get the crowd going! There are sections with a lot of words, but instead of trying to articulate every single syllable, you’ll sing more rhythmically if you keep it light and ride the melody.

You might initially struggle with the rhythm in the B-melody, but if you stay calm and focus on the spacing, the rhythm will lock in—so don’t worry.

Keep the meter in 4/4, and imagine resting on the first beat before singing.

Once you get that space right, it’ll sound really cool! There’s also a touch of Bach in the latter half of the song, making it irresistible for classical music fans!

The parts of yourself you thought you disliked will shine cutely in this song!
