an actress who is good at singing
These days, more and more actresses are also singing.
Both singing and delivering lines require “voice,” a sense of rhythm, and expressive ability, so in fact, singing and acting have a lot in common.
Musical theater actresses are the prime example of this.
This time, we’ll be showcasing plenty of actresses who are great singers.
If you’ve only known them from TV or film until now, you might discover a whole new side to them.

Actresses who are good at singing (21–30)
From The Tragedy of Woman WYakushimaru Hiroko
From her early days, Yakushimaru has been active in films, theater, and TV dramas, and her popularity has never waned.
I have a particularly strong impression of her frequently singing movie theme songs.
Her charming high-tone voice has a clear, transparent quality that makes it very easy to listen to, which is likely why she’s so popular.
She’s still actively singing, and I hope she continues to perform to the fullest of her appeal.
cappucinotomosaka rie
This song from actress Rie Tomosaka’s days as a singer—an actress with a wonderfully refined, mature allure—was actually written by Shiina Ringo.
Surprisingly, Ringo’s distinctive worldview and Tomosaka’s charm match beautifully, creating a lovely chemical reaction.
So sad I can’t bear itTabe Mikako
Mikako Tabe is wonderful for her realistic acting and natural charm in both films and TV dramas.
This song is an insert track from the film ‘Ayashii Kanojo’ (Sing My Life), and of course it’s sung by her.
She also sings several other songs, revealing a newfound appreciation for how good a singer she is.
Set it all freeNagasawa Masami
Masami Nagasawa, a leading young actress known for her excellent acting, was chosen to voice the rock-singing hedgehog in the animated film “Sing,” where she showcased her hidden singing talent.
Word of how good she was quickly spread online, making it a hot topic.
Lady GenerationShinohara Ryōko
Ryoko Shinohara, an actress who also works as an artist and essentially wears two hats, began with Tokyo Performance Doll and later debuted as a solo performer.
She has been active in a wide range of fields, and I felt she is a woman with strong performance abilities.
Her beauty and figure—hard to believe she’s a mom—also draw a lot of attention from women.
I feel like cryingŌhara Sakurako
She is Sakurako Ohara, a promising young artist who excels as an actress, singer, and dancer.
I believe her greatest charm lies in her carefree smile, expressive power, clear, carrying voice, and the ability to master multiple talents like playing the guitar—qualities that can’t be summed up in just one word.
I’m excited to see what she does next.
The Last FruitFukada Kyoko
Kyoko Fukada, known as “Fukakyon,” released songs early in her career.
She made waves with her drama debut and went on to appear in one hit after another.
Her singing was just as popular as her acting.
She’s still as beautiful and cute as ever, and I think she’s truly remarkable.
