Lucky PoolJUDY AND MARY
JUDY AND MARY, the rock band that disbanded in 2001 to much regret, left a lasting impact.
Their vocalist YUKI has continued to thrive as a solo artist and enjoys a charismatic following.
Lucky Pool, released in 2001 just before the band split, is a perfect summer track with its bursting pop rhythm.
The chorus, where YUKI’s high notes ring out so pleasantly, is sure to lift your spirits before you know it.
The band has plenty of other upbeat songs that suit the summer vibe as well, so why not give those a listen too?
evolutionAyumi Hamasaki
It was released in 2001 as Ayumi Hamasaki’s 20th single.
It was used in KOSÉ’s Visee commercial and as the theme song for the film Helter Skelter, and it reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
The song was composed by Hamasaki herself under the name CREA, and its chorus is designed for everyone to sing along, making it a real crowd-pleaser.
I can't stay a daydreaming girlNanae Aikawa
It was released in 1995 as Nanase Aikawa’s debut single.
Tetsurō Oda handled the lyrics, composition, and production, and the song was used in the “SUPER NOVA RACING” commercial and as the ending theme for the Fuji TV drama “V no Honō.” With this song, she made her first appearance at the 47th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
It’s a rock-style track that lets you sing your heart out and blow off stress.
I love you more than anyone.Toko Furuuchi
Toko Furuuchi’s classic song “Dare Yori Suki Nanoni” (“Even Though I Love You More Than Anyone”).
For those in their late 30s, this track is likely to be deeply nostalgic.
While it’s categorized as J-pop, it features phrases here and there that are close to Black music—especially the neo-soul genre.
It’s characterized by a calm vocal line, typical of neo-soul, and a relatively narrow range, making it an easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
Love, Day After TomorrowMai Kuraki
Mai Kuraki, a female singer who was hugely successful in the 2000s.
She’s often compared to Hikaru Utada, but even in songs with an R&B flavor like Utada’s, her vocal lines are actually straightforward J-pop, so she has quite a few tracks that are surprisingly easy to sing.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Love, Day After Tomorrow.
While it does feature some higher phrases, the overall pitch range isn’t that extreme, and the vocal line is fairly simple, making it a song that’s very conducive to scoring high—so long as you’re not uncomfortable with higher notes.
happiness!!!Kaela Kimura
Kaela Kimura is a female singer-songwriter who remains popular today.
She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend for aiming at a high score is “happiness!!!.” It’s known as a classic from her early career.
While it contains quite a few slightly high phrases, there are almost no long sustained notes, so if you sing it in an appropriate key, you shouldn’t have trouble with the high range.
There are some English lyrics sprinkled in, but the vocal line itself is simple, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
distress (at sea/in the mountains); being lost; stranded; a disaster situationTokyo Incidents
Tokyo Jihen is often known for jazzy, stylish songs, but I don’t think that’s the impression many women in their 30s have of the Tokyo Jihen they listened to as teens.
Their track “Sounan” captures the early Tokyo Jihen sound: a somewhat jazzy, defeatist-tinged rock.
For women in their 30s, this is probably the kind of melody that comes to mind when they think of Tokyo Jihen.
While the song uses many semitone movements, its overall range is narrow, and the vocal line descends more than it ascends, making it easy to sing in any part.
It’s a perfect pick if you’re aiming for a high score at karaoke.
