Top 10 iconic girl band songs that hype up the crowd at karaoke
Tomorrow as wellNEW!SHISHAMO
This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.
Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.
That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.
It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!
The hottest summer in the worldNEW!PRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
that bandcable tie
This is a download-only single performed by Kessoku Band, which appears within the 2022 TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” I love Kessoku Band’s rock songs too and often sing “Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet,” but “That Band” is really tough—the tempo is fast and the rhythm is very distinctive! I recommend listening closely to the track before trying to sing it.
The timing to cut off words in the verse, the timing to hold notes in the chorus—once the melody starts there’s no place to rest, so rather than memorizing the whole song at once, I think it’s easier to understand and organize in your head if you learn it bit by bit, melody by melody.
Also, for the high notes like D5 and C5 in the last chorus, don’t pull the sound back—project your voice forward firmly! It’s like throwing with a burst of power.
Keep that in mind when you sing.
A butterfly that cannot fly dreamsAnt with spines but without stings
An emotional rock tune that resonates with the heart, sublimating the worries and hopes of youth.
The raw feelings of young people seeking freedom are expressed alongside a powerful sound.
The exhilarating melody and memorable guitar riffs showcase a high level of polish that proves their ability.
Released in May 2025 as the B-side to Togenashi Togeari’s 10th single, “Daremo,” this track is a coming-of-age anthem that gently embraces the feelings of young people striving to look forward while torn between dreams and reality.
It’s a song that gives energy and courage—one you’ll want to listen to in a classroom after school—and a must-hear for young listeners struggling with their worries.
mild daysHitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece female band, and it seems that vocalist Moeka Shiozuka mainly writes the lyrics and composes.
The new song “mild days” also features beautifully tight harmonies! What seems like the B section might actually be the chorus, but from there she sings an octave higher, layering softly, and the atmosphere shifts all at once.
She also sings upper harmonies while taking the line an octave up, so at first you might not notice and end up singing the whole thing an octave higher.
But if you practice carefully while listening closely to the vocals, you’ll pick up the knack quickly! The song is also on the shorter side at about three minutes, and the repeating melody makes it easy to memorize.
Ready to RockBAND-MAID
It’s a rock anthem that truly explodes with a powerful, soul-stirring sound.
The track is infused with passionate feelings kept deep inside and a strong will to shine as yourself, unbound by anything.
Released as a single in April 2025, it also fires up the story as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty.” The fact that the band members themselves handled the motion capture for the characters’ performance scenes speaks to their passion for the project.
It’s a killer tune that blows away everyday frustrations—perfect for those who want to belt it out at karaoke with everything they’ve got.
Feverish DemonI wish it could stay midnight forever.
Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni, a band with a catchy style that enjoys immense popularity among teenage girls, has released a new song titled “Binetsu-ma.” While the vocal range required is fairly broad, the real challenge lies elsewhere.
Most of the high notes in this track are sung using a whisper voice, a breathy vocal technique.
Producing it momentarily isn’t an issue, but singing in whisper voice throughout demands substantial diaphragm control, making this a song with a high overall level of difficulty.
