A collection of cool songs that sound great when sung by women, originally male songs
These days, more male artists with high, soaring vocal ranges are emerging, and it’s becoming common for women to sing songs originally by male artists.
So this time, I’ll introduce men’s songs that sound especially cool when sung by women!
When a woman intentionally sings a man’s song, that contrast creates a fresh vibe and can make it sound really cool.
Songs by high-tenor male artists can also be easier for women to sing, so if you’re thinking, “I want to sing a male artist’s song at karaoke, but I don’t know what to pick,” use this as a reference!

Compilation of Cool Male Songs When Sung by Women (11–20)
It’s nothing.makaroni enpitsu
This is a song that reveals new charm when sung by a woman.
Performed with the soft voice of Macaroni Enpitsu’s vocalist Hattori, it features a comfortable melody infused with pop-rock elements.
Released in November 2021, the song’s lyrics—centered on the anxieties of love and self-affirmation—leave a strong impression and resonate deeply with listeners.
It has gained popularity on streaming services and ranked high on the Billboard Japan charts.
It’s also a great pick for women who want to sing songs by male artists at karaoke.
If a woman belts out the chorus with power, it’s guaranteed to sound cool!
PretenderOfisharu Higedan Dism
Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “Pretender” is arguably the most well-known.
Many of you have probably heard it at least once.
Although it’s known as a difficult piece, that reputation mainly comes from its prominent high notes; in fact, its overall vocal range isn’t all that wide.
The vocal line has relatively large rises and falls, but those demanding phrases don’t appear in succession.
Therefore, as long as you have the stamina to sustain the high register, it’s actually a surprisingly singable song.
I LOVE…Ofisharu Higedan Dism
Among Official HIGE DANDism’s songs, “I LOVE…” is particularly popular.
On the surface, it can be considered a high-difficulty piece because it features a lot of falsetto and many vocal lines that use mixed voice.
However, from another perspective, it’s different.
The song incorporates elements of R&B and soul, yet it contains very few advanced vocal techniques such as ad-libs or falls.
As long as you have solid fundamental singing ability, it’s possible to perform it well; if you’re confident in your pitch stability, it might be a great addition to your repertoire.
Blue amberback number
This back number song gives you such an indescribable feeling, doesn’t it? I think Iyori Shimizu is a genius at creating a sense of heartbreak.
The harmonies in this track are mostly in the chorus.
It’s basically an upper harmony, but the way the ends of phrases drop an octave and other clever choices in the harmonizing really amplify the bittersweet vibe.
In the final chorus, there’s a key change and the pitch goes up, so I think it’s good to sing a bit louder in falsetto so you don’t get overshadowed by the lead vocal.
A lot of people sing back number, so be sure to add these harmonies to your repertoire!
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
The song “Bunny Girl,” which gained nationwide popularity on TikTok and Instagram, is a signature work by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.
Despite its catchy rhythm and flow, the piece surprisingly stays within a narrow vocal range.
For a recent hit, it boasts an exceptionally limited range, so not only women with lower voices but also those who can’t hit high notes at all should be able to sing it without trouble.
If you want it to sound even better, we recommend incorporating a whispery tone known as a “whisper voice.”
Answer keyŌmori Motoki
This is a solo song by Motoki Omori, the vocalist of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, and as expected, it features a lot of high notes.
The range is G#3 to B4, so it might be easier for women to sing.
One amazing thing about Omori is that he switches between chest voice and falsetto much more frequently than other artists, but for this song, keeping your eyebrows raised while singing helps make the transitions smoother.
My students often say, “Omori’s eyebrows are always up!” so please use that as a reference.
Also, since the phrases in this song are relatively long, I recommend deciding your breath points before you sing.
If you don’t have enough breath, your voice may drop out in the falsetto sections, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing.
It’s challenging, but it’s a cute song, so once you get used to it, try singing it in a cheerful, bouncy mood!

StarmineDa-iCE
The two members of Da-iCE are famous for having a wide vocal range.
The range in “Starmine” is quite broad, from C#3 to D#5.
Points to watch out for are pitch shifts, switching between chest voice and falsetto, and the bouncy rhythm.
Right at the start, Hanamura comes in with a gritty belt, but if you brace yourself awkwardly, you’ll tense up and strain your throat, so try to relax.
Singing comfortably is the most important thing, so at first it’s totally fine to sing everything in falsetto! Once you get used to the song, try gradually strengthening that falsetto.
Use your body so you don’t tense up, and above all, enjoy singing!
