Top 10 iconic girl band songs that are easy to sing at karaoke
dollNEW!Hitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is an alternative rock band notable for its Western-influenced musical style.
Among bands of this type, they stand out for their especially wide stylistic range, consistently delighting listeners with songs that showcase different charms each time.
Their track “doll” is crafted with a post-punk flavor, achieving a tempo that’s upbeat yet retains a chill vibe.
The vocal line is grounded mainly in the low–mid to mid range throughout, making it very easy to sing in terms of vocal range.
As for the falsetto in the chorus, it’s a pitch you can definitely hit in chest voice as well, so try not to imitate the original too closely and sing it in your own way.
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.
One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a female band that gives the impression of having lots of cute songs.
While vocalist Miyazaki usually sings solo, you can hear light harmonies here and there—at the end of the A verse and in the chorus.
The vibe is like softly humming along while playing the guitar.
The chorus also repeats the same phrase, and there are more lower harmonies than upper ones, so it’s easy to pick them out if you listen with earphones.
Even if you’re not confident with harmonizing, these songs are gentle and easy to sing along with once you get used to them—so hang in there, harmony beginners!
FeelHitsuji Bungaku
The double single “Feel/mild days.” These songs are used as the opening and ending themes for the TV anime Silent Witch: The Secret of the Silent Witch, which started airing in July 2025! This time, I’ll introduce “Feel.” The tempo of this track is on the slower side, so I think you’ll be able to sing it in a generally calm manner.
The beginning of the pre-chorus is a bit fast, but you’ll be fine if you use your body well to keep the rhythm.
Also, the high notes in the chorus and bridge will definitely be painful if you belt them, so focus on humming and constantly resonating through your nose and head.
For humming, it becomes easier if you imagine lightly resonating around your brow and head overall.
Once you get used to it, try turning it into your singing voice while keeping the resonance in the same place.
You’ll find it easier to relax and sing lightly!
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
When it comes to Shishamo’s signature song, it has to be “Ashita mo.” Aimed at people giving their all every day, this track is one of the top cheer-up anthems.
Countless busy, hard-working professionals and students discover this song and resonate with its lyrics.
Sing it, and you’ll feel even more fired up—sure to strike a chord with everyone around you.
The Theory of HappinessRingo Sheena
It’s no exaggeration to say that Tokyo Jihen currently reigns as the queen of girls’ rock bands.
Among their songs, “Koufukuron” (The Theory of Happiness) is especially popular.
The lyrics and her singing style, which reveal a sunny, carefree side, resonate with both men and women.
It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, making it a classic that everyone loves to perform.
The Story You Don't Knowsupercell
The vocalist has changed several times, but especially in the Nagi era, the vocals and the sound crafted by ryo create this unique worldview: supercell’s “Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari.” Ryo’s sound—tinged with heart-wrenching yet soaring pulses—pairs perfectly with Nagi’s straightforward, expressive singing.
It’s a song that flows effortlessly when you sing it.
