Sabasister – Jersey Music Video

Sabasister is a noteworthy trio led by Ken Yokoyama of Hi-STANDARD and signed to PIZZA OF DEATH, making their major debut in 2024.

With down-to-earth lyrics that capture the fun and sometimes bittersweet moments of everyday life and catchy melodies as their weapon, they’ve gained popularity especially among younger generations.

Their 2022 self-produced track “Jersey” is a fan favorite recommended for teenage girls who love punkish, rock-driven bands.

Its simple chord progression and instantly memorable, catchy melody make it very easy to sing, and the witty yet slightly tear-jerking lyrics are sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.

Hinatazaka46 “Aza to Kawaii” (Cunningly Cute)

Hinatazaka46 is an idol group that was originally formed in 2015 as Keyakizaka46 (Hiragana Keyaki) and changed to its current name in February 2019, making their single debut at that time.

As of January 2025, all of their released singles have reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts, which shows just how popular they are.

Azatokawaii is the lead track from their debut album under the Hinatazaka46 name, Hinatazaka, released in 2020.

It was also performed at that year’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and despite not being a single, it’s a song with high popularity and name recognition.

Overall, the vocal range required is relatively narrow, and the bright, easy-to-follow melody makes it a great choice for teenagers aiming for high karaoke scores.

Singing it solo is great, but splitting parts with friends will definitely be fun too!

ON & ON feat. Neibisstofubeats

tofubeats – ON & ON feat. Neibiss

Here’s “ON&ON,” the first 2025 release from tofubeats—an influential 1990-born music producer and trackmaker trusted by many musicians.

Featuring Neibiss, who like tofubeats hails from Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture, it’s a catchy, upbeat club track rooted in UK garage.

It works great on the dance floor and seems like it would be a hit at karaoke, too.

With both rap and melody to enjoy, it could be a fun choice for two lower-voiced women to try at karaoke!

Ai Tomioka – Inferior (Music Video)

Ai Tomioka is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity for her catchy musical style.

While she often gives the impression of having many cute songs, her new track “Otorii” carries a somewhat downbeat mood.

The chorus feels a bit brighter, but the A and B sections feature very relaxed, laid-back vocals.

Overall, the song has a narrow range and is sung mostly in the mid-register.

For women with lower voices, the A and B sections will particularly shine, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Singer-songwriter tuki.

, who has earned overwhelming popularity since her teens.

She recently drew attention due to a face-reveal controversy, so many of you may still remember the buzz.

Her new song is Seesaw.

This track, arranged as orthodox J-POP, sits mostly in the midrange throughout.

There are moments of falsetto, but the lines themselves aren’t particularly high; she’s simply choosing to sing them in falsetto.

So even those who lack confidence in their vocal range can sing it with ease.

The popular music duo Yorushika.

While they may not be a group that defines the generation of women in their 30s, their easy-to-listen-to sound likely has many fans among them.

What I’d like to recommend is “Wakamono no Subete,” sung by suis, Yorushika’s vocalist.

This work is a cover of a song by Fujifabric, and the vocal line is even calmer than the original.

Even among recent Japanese pop songs, it has a particularly narrow vocal range, so women with lower voices should be able to sing it without any issues.
