Cool songs that are recommended for women to sing (21–30)
A world where the sun does not riseAimer
This song, which is also the theme for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc: Chapter 1 Akaza’s Return,” spans roughly E3 to E5 and is quite advanced to sing on a first try.
When I first heard it, Aimer’s English-like diction made me think, “Is this a Western song?” but it’s firmly in Japanese (lol).
The A section is sung phrase by phrase in the lower register, but from around the B section it gradually becomes more emotional.
There are plenty of high notes, but rather than belting them in chest voice, using a strong head voice brings out both the poignancy and the power, matching the song’s mood.
From low to high notes, try singing with your eyebrows slightly raised to help stabilize pitch!
HeavenRei
Rei, who combines exceptional skill as a guitarist with talent as a singer-songwriter, is carving out a unique place for herself.
Released in August 2024, “Heaven” is a brand-new killer tune where blistering, freewheeling guitar work—complete with tapping—coexists in perfect balance with an earworm of a catchy melody and a danceable groove.
When singing it at karaoke and the like, don’t rely on the sense of the chords; instead, listen closely to the bass and drum rhythms, and try singing with a different image in mind than the typical J-pop-style division between vocals and accompaniment.
beautiful womanCHANMINA
This is a song by Chanmina that’s guaranteed to turn heads when you sing it at karaoke.
It carries a powerful message that challenges society’s imposed standards of “beauty.” Released as a single in April 2021, it’s also included on the album Harenchi.
Her raw, unfiltered performance on THE FIRST TAKE became a major talking point as well.
It’s perfect for when you want to strongly affirm yourself or blow away the frustration.
Grab the mic and give it a try!
-ness; typicality; the quality/essence of being [X] (as in “X-ness” or “X-like character”)Official HIGE DANDism
This song, chosen as the theme for the animated feature film “100m.
,” is a quintessentially Higedan-style tough piece.
The rhythm is relatively steady, but there are lots of words, making breathing difficult, and the range is extremely wide.
In the C section and the chorus, many listeners will probably think, “It goes up here?” Once you start singing, there’s almost no break—the melody just keeps coming one after another—so you’ll need to be really prepared (lol).
First, make sure you thoroughly memorize the lyrics and melody! The A section seems manageable to sing gently, but from the B section on, it gets hard unless you plan your breathing spots.
Instead of singing everything at 100%, aim to release your voice little by little and then let it all out on the high notes—that balance works well! Don’t miss any fleeting moments where you can catch a breath.
Also, when dropping from high notes to low notes, pitch tends to fall and you might strain your throat, so try singing with your eyebrows kept raised!
chantAdo
Ado’s 18th digital-only single, released in September 2023.
Within this rapidly unfolding, up-tempo track, Ado showcases a truly chameleon-like array of vocal colors and expressive techniques.
If you can sing it as deftly as the original, you’ll undoubtedly draw attention from those around you.
Rather than relying on superficial vocal tricks, this is a song where immersing yourself in its world is what matters most.
Be sure to prepare thoroughly and grasp the piece as a whole before you sing it.
Stand on the stageYOASOBI
Surprisingly, this song modulates near the end, but instead of going higher, it drops by a semitone first and then immediately rises again.
It really feels like the meaning of the title, “Standing on Stage,” is packed into this one track! Ikura’s vocals resonate with real strength in the high notes without her having to belt.
Carrying the voice with breath rather than shouting makes the sound come out naturally and leads to that clear, transparent tone! Many of my students sing YOASOBI’s songs, so I hope all of you will give them a try, too!
LuluAdo
When it comes to young artists with outstanding vocal ability, Ado is likely the first to come to mind.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend to women as a particularly challenging piece is LULU.
This track features Ado’s signature shouts throughout.
While this shouting technique can be difficult even for men, it is especially demanding for women.
Simply delivering clear, powerful shouts while maintaining volume is evidence of high-level vocal skill.
