Cool songs (1–10) that are recommended for women to sing
Heralding springNEW!yama
This song, Haru wo Tsugeru, is what suddenly brought yama into the spotlight.
Some of you might recognize the opening phrase.
That said, when you actually try singing it, it’s famous for being difficult because of the drastic ups and downs in pitch.
The rhythm is crucial and the tempo is on the faster side, so it’s best to learn it slowly, piece by piece, at first.
YouTube lets you change the playback speed, so I highly recommend using that! When you sing, try not to push on the high notes; if you stay relaxed, you’ll be able to make good use of your falsetto.
It might help to practice singing lightly, with a bouncy feel.
As you get a feel for the melody line, you’ll naturally figure out where to add accents and where to cut the sound.
Once you’re comfortable, try using a bit more breath; that should help you switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.
Fu re te Fu re ruNEW!TK from Ling tosite sigure
The B-side to “unravel,” which could be called TK’s signature song, is actually “Fu re te Fu re ru.” It explodes even more with high notes and falsetto than “unravel,” and it’s one of my absolute favorites to sing at karaoke.
Rather than a clean falsetto, TK’s falsetto pierces like a cry, so unless you can normally hit high notes, it’s a tough song to pull off… That said, it’s a super cool track, so if you think of it as a way to practice falsetto, I definitely recommend it for rock lovers! It’s fine to start with a weak falsetto.
Just keep practicing using a lot of breath over and over, and gradually build your explosiveness—that’s the idea!
unravelNEW!TK from Ling tosite sigure
Among TK from Ling tosite sigure’s songs, the masterpiece “unravel” is renowned for its exceptional difficulty.
Known as the theme song for the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul, many people may have discovered it through Ado’s cover as well.
The most challenging aspects of this song are, above all, its vocal range and expressive breadth.
The range spans an extraordinarily wide mid2 A# to hihi A#, with repeated hi G notes in the chorus.
On top of that, it demands a wide variety of vocal techniques, including scream-like phrases and trembling lines that make use of whisper voice.
Its level of difficulty is among the highest even within Japanese rock.
Delicate Lips feat. ChanminaGenie High
A song that vividly portrays a woman’s delicate emotions, with lyrics striking for how they reflect vibrant feelings in the color of her lips.
It’s a work where the unique musicality of the members of Genie High blends seamlessly with the refined vocals and rap of Chanmina.
Released in June 2023 as a track on the album “Genie Classic,” the piece depicts a woman gazing at herself in the mirror—putting on a brave face yet unable to hide her vulnerability.
It’s also a powerful choice for karaoke; if sung with a nuanced expression of feminine sensitivity, it will surely capture the listener’s heart.
SCOPEAimer
This track features Aimer’s powerful, striking vocals and conveys a world where a doctor unravels baffling cases through an emotional sound.
Its melody evokes a mysterious, dark atmosphere, interwoven with tension-filled, dramatic developments.
Released in February 2025 as her 25th single, it also drew attention as the opening theme for the TV anime “Takaoh Ameku’s Diagnostic Mystery.” With playfully expressive lyrics in perfect harmony with Aimer’s masterful vocal technique, the song portrays the protagonist’s resolve and sense of duty as a physician.
Highly recommended for those who want to showcase their vocal prowess at karaoke.
Super BallTOMOO
TOMOO’s songs gently embrace the worries shared by everyone living in modern society.
This heartwarming piece expresses the feelings of people whose individuality can’t be contained by social molds, symbolized through a super ball.
Its message—encouraging the courage to affirm your true self and the importance of embracing diversity—resonates deeply.
Released in September 2023 as a track on the album “TWO MOON,” it was also selected as the theme song for ABEMA Prime starting in April 2024.
It’s a song that gently yet powerfully supports those who want to cherish their uniqueness or who are introverted and struggle with self-confidence.
GLAMOROUS SKYMika Nakashima
A powerful rock number known to the world as the theme song of the film NANA.
HYDE from L’Arc~en~Ciel composed and produced the track, while original creator Ai Yazawa penned the lyrics, resulting in a star-studded collaboration.
The longing for freedom, questions about monotonous daily life, and hopes for a radiant future are expressed through a glam rock sound and Mika Nakashima’s commanding vocals.
Since its release in August 2005, it topped the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks and became the only single by a female artist to break into the annual top 10 that year.
Capturing the raw feelings of youth with a strong message, this song is also a karaoke staple—perfect for anyone who wants to sing their heart out and blow off some steam.
