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 (21–30)
Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.
Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.
There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.
As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough…
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!
bergamotTomonari Sora
Tomonari Sora’s hit number “Bergamot” has garnered nationwide popularity.
If you’re a man in your 20s, you’ve probably heard it at least once through TikTok or Instagram.
The song features falsetto, but it’s mostly just forcing falsetto in parts that could be sung in chest voice, so the overall range is rather narrow.
Singers of any vocal range should be able to handle it comfortably at the right key.
The rap section’s flow is somewhat complex, but the vocal melody is simple, making it a perfect choice if you’re aiming for a high score.
MatatabiWANIMA
This is an up-tempo, energetic rock song used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Night of the Living Cat,” which starts in July 2025! The vocal range is F#3 to B4, so it should be fairly easy to sing, right? The tempo itself is a brisk 165, and there are some rap-like parts, so I recommend memorizing all the lyrics before singing.
It’s a short track under three minutes, but it will definitely hype up the crowd at karaoke! I personally want to add it to my repertoire, too!
Lights Out feat. Jeremy QuartusNulbarich
Centered around singer-songwriter JQ, Nulbarich has operated as a “band” with a fluid lineup, gaining popularity for their sophisticated sound rooted in Black music, but they announced a hiatus as of 2024.
Lights Out, included on Close a Chapter—their final album before the hiatus—became a hot topic thanks to its music video, which for the first time featured the band members themselves.
It’s a quintessentially Nulbarich track with a stylish, mellow groove and a heartwarming chorus melody that feels so good.
It’s also recommended for lower-voiced female singers who want to try melodies with that classic Western pop feel.
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.
This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.
To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.
It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!
orbitTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
From the very beginning, “orbit” unfolds with a melancholic tone, and you might wonder, “Maybe this song doesn’t have any death growls?”—but sure enough, they come in solidly in the latter half.
The vocal range is A#3–G5, and as you’d expect from TK, the high notes are extremely lofty.
When singing, it’s fine to use mostly falsetto, but the key is to avoid letting it become a weak falsetto.
If you keep singing in a weak falsetto, you’ll run out of breath as you go, and you’ll barely be able to pull off the death growls that come after the stronger falsetto in the second half! It’s actually easier if you project both your falsetto and your death growls more strongly from the vocal cords than you think.
Also, one of TK’s charms lies in the spacing between words when delivering the lyrics.
If you sing each word carefully, the sense of poignancy deepens and your voice becomes even more beautiful.
