KanadeMone Kamishiraishi
Mone Kamishiraishi is not only an actress but also actively works as a singer.
In addition to her own original songs, she has performed a wide range of cover songs over the years, and one I’d like to highlight is her cover of Sukima Switch’s “Kanade.” A video of her performing the song a cappella has been uploaded to YouTube, and many viewers were likely astonished by the power of her vocals.
Her pure, unadorned, beautiful voice and the emotion she pours into her singing have a captivating charm that grips people’s hearts.
That's not me.Shino Shimoji
This song was used as the ending theme for the anime “Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou.” It’s sung by Shino Shimoji, who is also active as a voice actress, and was released in 2018 as her second single.
It’s an electric tune that blends a sense of speed with a dreamy atmosphere, resulting in a refreshing finish.
The lyrics, which explore the gap between the self you want to be and the self you can’t become, are a bit thought-provoking.
Believing in yourself is important, isn’t it? With few words and not many melodic changes, it’s easy to memorize.
Just note that the key is a little high, so adjust it if it’s difficult.
Soul FlagHiro Shimono
This song was used as the opening theme for the anime African Office Worker and is sung by the popular voice actor Hiro Shimono.
It was released in 2019 as his fourth single.
It’s an uplifting, positive track that fills you with energy when you listen to it.
With a classic rock vibe, an easy-to-follow melody line, and a not-too-high key, it’s packed with features that make it perfect for karaoke.
It’s great to sing solo, but it’s also a lot of fun to belt out together with everyone who knows the song.
Between the Sky and YouMiyuki Nakajima
This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 31st single, released in May 1994.
It was chosen as the theme song for the hit drama “Homeless Child” starring Yumi Adachi and became a million seller.
Since it’s a Miyuki Nakajima song characterized by her slightly breathy voice, the vocal melody doesn’t require extremely high notes, so I think most women can sing it without changing the key.
If anything, focus on practicing the lower-pitched sections—like the A melody—so you can use your chest voice securely rather than pushing the high notes.
For the final part of the chorus, try singing with the image of placing the voice around the back of your upper molars; it should make your voice resonate nicely.
Give it a try.

SOLITUDEAkina Nakamori
“SOLITUDE” is a song that blends urban sophistication with elegance, and its lyrics depicting a city woman became a hot topic.
It’s easy to see why, given that the lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa and the music was composed by Yukihide Takakawa of Godiego.
Each word is delicately woven together by Akina’s powerful voice, which is truly stunning.
The lyrics evoke the image of a deserted upper floor of a skyscraper, resonating perfectly when you feel like escaping somewhere alone.
The song has many relatively singable parts, making it approachable even for male vocalists.
It’s a karaoke staple, yet could also be called a hidden gem.
I recommend humming it at least once.
Run! BicycleNogizaka46
Nogizaka46’s song “Hashire! Bicycle” is their third single, released in 2012.
It was featured in House Foods’ “Megashaki” commercial and ranked fifth on the Oricon Singles Chart.
The lyrics are delightfully happy: a boy who hasn’t noticed a girl’s advances finally realizes it, and they discover their feelings are mutual.
Put on the upbeat, high-energy “Hashire! Bicycle” and blow away the end-of-summer blues!
Sophie's CastleJoe Hisaishi
Many of you have probably heard this one.
It’s a soundtrack themed around the heroine Sophie’s castle.
The lively, bouncing rhythm and the driving piano make it a memorable track.
In the middle section, it dramatically transforms into a sound dominated by tense, resonant low tones.
It’s a popular piece that lets you enjoy a variety of moods throughout a single song!
