[Women] Popular Karaoke Rankings [2025]

DESIREAkina Nakamori43rank/position

DESIRE -jounetsu-

Akina Nakamori’s 14th single, released in February 1986.

This is another song I’d recommend for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes to sing at karaoke.

With this song, almost no one will have trouble with the high range.

However, if you treat it as easy due to the range and just hum through it casually, there’s a risk it will turn into a very flat and boring performance.

So especially at the beginning of the chorus, be sure to sing with a firm, resonant voice.

A low voice with good presence is one of the hardest things to achieve in singing, but please give it your best shot!

Superfly “A Bouquet With Love” Music Video

It’s a signature work by Superfly, whose soul-stirring, powerful vocals deliver love straight to the listener’s heart.

In this song, the many emotions of life—joy, sorrow, gratitude—are expressed like a colorful bouquet of flowers, carrying a warm yet strong message that, no matter how many detours we take, our feelings return to the ones we cherish.

The protagonist, awkward yet earnest in trying to convey love and thanks, will move many listeners and give them energy for tomorrow.

Released in February 2008 as the fourth single, it stirred great emotion as the theme song for the drama “Edison no Haha” (Edison’s Mother).

Step a little away from the everyday, sing your heart out with all your feelings, and this is sure to lift your spirits!

Ayaka – Crescent Moon

A song in which Ayaka’s voice resonates deeply with the heart.

It conveys the sorrow of a long-distance relationship by entrusting it to the crescent moon.

Even when apart, the feeling that hearts remain connected comes through on the gentle melody.

Released in September 2006, it was used as a theme song for an NHK program and in an au commercial.

It’s said that Ayaka’s own experiences are reflected in the lyrics, which may be why the raw emotions resonated with so many.

When you think of someone dear who is far away, listening to this song is sure to warm your heart.

Song of PointillismSonoko Inoue46rank/position

Inoue Sonoko “Tenbyō no Uta” (Solo ver.) Music Video

“Tenbyō no Uta,” released as a collaboration between the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue.

The original showcases a stunning harmony between Daiki Omori and Sonoko Inoue, but there’s actually a solo version by Sonoko Inoue as well.

It’s a beautiful piece featuring her delicate vocals over a piano accompaniment.

Being a gentle ballad that expresses straightforward feelings, performing it at just the right moment might make the men present skip a heartbeat.

Dolphin [Iruka] / Nagori-yuki [Lingering Snow] (Single Version) Official Audio with translation

Sung by Iruka, this song has been passed down as a classic of spring, a work that seems to seep into the listener’s heart.

Depicting a scene of parting in early spring, it beautifully portrays lingering feelings and the loneliness of growing up.

Written and composed by Shozo Ise and given a rich, weighty arrangement by Masataka Matsutoya, it was released in March 1975 on the album “Iruka no Sekai,” then as a single in November of the same year, reaching No.

4 on the Oricon charts.

It’s a perfect song to spark conversation with older adults.

You’ll likely enjoy a wonderful time sharing nostalgic memories and evocative scenes that resonate in the heart.

Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Been Around Since Long Ago~My Little Lover48rank/position

My Little Lover "Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Been There Since Long Ago~

My Little Lover’s famed song “Hello, Again ~A Place That’s Always Been~” garnered nationwide popularity.

Adhering to orthodox pop conventions, this piece keeps the vocal range compact throughout.

Because the melodic rises and falls are very gentle, it isn’t particularly low, but as long as you choose the right key, even women in their 40s with lower voices should find it easy to sing.

It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

fragileEvery Little Thing49rank/position

Every Little Thing / fragile

It’s a song by Every Little Thing that expresses the feeling, “I can’t quite be honest, but deep down I truly love you.” The lyrics are practically a confession of love—so much so that it’s hard to imagine any man feeling nothing if it’s sung right in front of him.

If you sing it with gratitude for having met him and with the wish to keep spending time together from now on, even a man who has only ever seen you as a friend won’t be able to help but take notice.

Why not try singing it with a touch of longing, imagining Kaori Mochida’s clear, expansive voice?
