Recommended female vocalists for anime songs (21–30)
A World You Don’t KnowLia
Lia is a singer active in a wide range of fields, including performing game and anime songs, as well as writing lyrics and composing.
She also provided the voice library for the Vocaloid IA.
With hits like “Tori no Uta” and “Aozora” used in the game AIR, and performances of the theme and insert songs for CLANNAD, many people likely associate her with music from the game label Key.
She is a captivating singer whose voice—once described as that of a “crystal-voiced songstress”—has a touching, expressive tremble that resonates with listeners.
The world is falling in loveCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This is CHiCO with HoneyWorks, a collaborative unit formed by CHICO—who won a Sony-sponsored audition—and the creator team HoneyWorks.
Their friendly melodies and pop sound make their music very easy to listen to, characterized by a refreshing vibe.
CHICO’s gentle vocals combined with HoneyWorks’ exceptional songwriting make for an unbeatable team.
This gameSuzuki Konomi
Do you know the anison singer Konomi Suzuki? She’s really cool, so if you like anime songs, you should definitely give her a listen! In “This game,” the notes are extremely high throughout, and it even modulates in the last chorus, making it go even higher.
The overall range of the song is B3 to F5, which is generally on the higher side, and if you try to belt it all in chest voice, your throat will get wrecked (lol).
Suzuki mixes in head voice skillfully.
When hitting notes as high as in “This game,” it’s easier if you focus on resonance rather than just pushing or belting.
That said, it’s not something anyone can do right away, so first try placing a hand on your chest and check that your chest is resonating.
Also, if you forget to breathe, you won’t be able to hit high notes, so take plenty of air through your mouth and line up your breathing with the song’s timing!
God knows…Hirano Aya
Aya Hirano is active in a wide range of fields—not only as a voice actress and singer, but also as an actress and radio personality.
Her first leading role as Haruhi Suzumiya in the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the show’s success, and her performances of the opening and insert songs helped raise her profile.
As a solo artist, she has a powerful, direct voice that reaches listeners; as a voice actress, she demonstrates a wide expressive range when performing character songs; and as a musical theater actress, she shows great expressive ability.
She is a singer who has acquired numerous captivating qualities.
fireworks (launched into the sky)DAOKO
I started posting on Niconico during middle school, which led to signing with a label and debuting as an artist when I entered high school.
Because I attended a school that restricted entertainment activities, I didn’t show my face as an artist, but upon graduating from high school, I revealed my face and signed with a major record company.
I am known as a next-generation female rapper.
LionMay’n
May’n is a singer who is active not only as an anime song vocalist but also in a wide range of roles including lyric writing and composing.
She performed the singing parts for the character Sheryl Nome in the anime Macross Frontier and released many songs under the name “Sheryl Nome starring May’n.” She later strengthened her involvement with anime music, releasing works under her solo name such as the opening theme for the anime Shangri-La, “Kimi Shinitamou Koto Nakare.” Her soaring high-tone voice is a major hallmark, conveying a straightforward message through her vocals.
Watch me!YOASOBI
It’s such a lively, cheerful song, and ikura’s voice is super cute! It’s fun to listen to, but with a range of G3 to F5, it’s really tough to sing.
While some parts have very clear, easy-to-follow rhythm, there are also Vocaloid-like melodic lines that are very YOASOBI.
Especially in the A verse and the chorus, since they sit high, you’ll want to make the attack on the opening words crisp and clear.
To keep your voice steady, try engaging your glutes as you sing.
The B verse has fast melodies, so I recommend memorizing the lyrics before singing.
It’s an adorable song, so don’t go expressionless—keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time! And sing with a smile to keep your pitch from dropping.
