Cool songs (1–10) that are recommended for women to sing
I’m ProudTomomi Kahala
A masterpiece of self-affirmation from 1996 and one of Tomomi Kahala’s signature songs, featuring a powerful yet wistful melody and emotionally rich lyrics.
It vividly portrays a protagonist grappling with loneliness and anxiety who confronts herself and reexamines her identity through encounters with others.
Chosen as the song for a TBC commercial, it also led to an appearance at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
This legendary track reached No.
2 on the Oricon weekly chart and topped the annual karaoke rankings.
Though it’s a song that tests one’s vocal ability, it’s highly recommended for moments when you want to boost your confidence or take a new step forward.
SHINOBIREOL
Reol is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity with sharp electropop and electro-rock.
Her musical style has remained largely consistent throughout her career, and she continues to release tracks with a crisp, cool sound.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is SHINOBI.
This piece leans more heavily into rock than her previous releases, featuring loud, hard vocal lines throughout.
The vocal range is wide and the rhythms are irregular, making it fairly challenging—but definitely worth a try.
Cool Songs Women Will Look Awesome Singing (11–20)
Six Trillion Years and an Overnight Storykemu
Released in December 2012, this song is a classic, notoriously difficult Vocaloid track! It has a Japanese-style vibe with a very relaxed intro, but the tempo suddenly speeds up and the lyrics become extremely dense.
You’ll need to be mindful of stamina, lung capacity, and quickness, but it’s highly recommended if you love fast songs! The key to singing the rapid-fire sections is not to try to articulate every single consonant, but to clearly pronounce the vowel sounds that carry the accents.
That will help you lock into the rhythm and sing more lightly.
With fast-tempo songs, above all, you have to memorize the lyrics; otherwise, when you sing it at karaoke, you’ll end up just chasing the words and sounding vague.
I recommend first being able to hum the melody, then adding the lyrics afterward!
Meroismpurple now
Singer-songwriter Shikon, who gained nationwide popularity with “Masho no Onna A,” is earning high praise for her vocals, rooted in R&B and emphasizing ad-libs and falls.
Among her tracks, a standout recommendation is “Meloism.” It blends dark pop and R&B with elements of house, striking a balance between cute and cool.
It’s a perfect song to bring out the appeal of low to low-mid frequencies.
ALL I WANTYurina Hirate
Yurina Hirate, the idol who rose to fame as the center of Keyakizaka46, is now active as a solo artist and gradually gaining popularity in Japan.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for its cool vibe is her new track, “ALL I WANT.” Compared to her previous release, “bleeding love,” it features a more niche sound, with a progression throughout that evokes Heisei-era Japanese R&B.
It’s not difficult to perform, but since the verses are consistently rap-inflected, it’s a perfect track for showing off a cool style.
LetterUru
Uru’s “Tegami” will be released as a digital single on August 13, 2025, and it was written as the theme song for the film “YUKIKAZE,” which opens on August 15.
It’s a song that highlights Uru’s signature delicate, beautiful falsetto.
When singing it, pay attention to your breathing and the balance between low and high notes.
The beginning A melody and the section after the final chorus drop to around a low C3, so be careful not to let your pitch fall.
If you sing using your throat, you’ll carry that throaty sound into the higher notes, so aim to produce your voice from the vocal folds throughout.
Raise your eyebrows firmly and try placing the sound slowly in front of you to produce the low notes.
Also, since the chorus jumps up suddenly to higher notes, imagine resonating in your head and send your voice straight upward—this will make falsetto come out more easily!
CharlesBalloon
The Vocaloid song “Charles” has become very popular thanks to covers by many singers and artists—are you familiar with it? I always sing it in the original key, but it’s quite difficult! The range is C#3 to C#5, and it’s very high overall, but I especially find the parts in the chorus where the melody jumps up and down to be challenging.
There are also spots near the beginning of the A section where the notes rise.
For those sections, it feels good to produce the sound if you visualize the pitch you want and “hit the target” with your voice like shooting an arrow.
Also, the rhythm in the B section tends to rush, so try to keep the tempo by singing each note carefully.
Most Vocaloid songs are high, but if you’re confident in your high notes, you might be able to sing “Charles” in the original key—so give it a try!
