Someone like you.riria.
Lilia is a female singer-songwriter who’s popular for her down-to-earth lyrics, especially among young women in their teens and early twenties.
Among her works, the one I particularly recommend is her new song, “Anta Nante.” It’s crafted as a modern, classic J-pop ballad.
It might seem a bit high, but the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, so as long as you adjust it to your own key, even those who aren’t confident singers should be able to sing it without any problems.
Marunouchi SadisticShiina Ringo
It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements.
One of my students, who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes, practiced this song many times in vocal training.
The overall range of “Marunouchi Sadistic” isn’t wide and it’s mostly sung in the mid-range, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.
If you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, the notes will come out smoothly! Rhythm is crucial throughout, so try marking the beats clearly and even a bit exaggerated.
Singing while moving with the groove helps you stay relaxed and avoid forcing your voice.
Also, as you’ll likely notice when you’re in the groove, be sure to cut off notes cleanly where needed and value the spaces—sing with a strong sense of phrasing and rests.
for a long timeKiroro
This was Kiroro’s major-label debut single, released in January 1998.
Before their major debut, the indie version of the song became an unusually big hit for an independent release, selling over 10,000 copies.
Many of Kiroro’s songs—not just this one—feature approachable melodies that evoke a certain nostalgia, but with this particular track, their first major-label single, the “major-label feel” is pleasantly subdued.
In a sense, I personally think it might be the song that feels most quintessentially them.
Maybe because of that, it’s the kind of tune you find yourself humming along to without even thinking about vocal technique or anything else.
So relax, have fun, and sing it lightly.
Bad personsenritsu kannano
Kanano Senritsu has been getting a lot of attention lately.
Her song ‘Warui Hito’ (Bad Person) is her new single, themed around her recent heartbreak.
Despite the raw lyrics, the vocal line and melody are surprisingly simple, with no complex pitch movements throughout.
Many may perceive it as high, but since the song doesn’t span a wide range, you can lower the key and sing it in a range that’s comfortable for you.
It also doesn’t require vibrato, so if you want to focus purely on hitting the right pitches, consider adding it to your repertoire.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
This song, Mayuo Okamoto’s debut single, was released in 1995 and became a hit as the theme song for the drama “Second Chance.” It may not be the easiest song to sing, but because it’s a lively tune everyone knows, people will clap along and sing with you, so you could say it’s a song with relatively low risk.
When cherry-blossom hues danceNakajima Mika
A song I especially want women who feel insecure about singing to try is “Sakurairo Maukoro.” It was released in 2005 by singer Mika Nakashima, known for her many grand ballads that soothe listeners’ hearts.
The lyrics evoke beautiful Japanese scenery, and the gorgeous piano sound resonates deeply.
Because the tempo unfolds slowly, you can sing it without rushing and in a relaxed state.
If you find it hard to articulate the melody line, starting by practicing with humming is also recommended.
Definitely give this ballad a try—it will add a touch of elegance to the atmosphere of any karaoke room.

Come, springMatsutōya Yumi
Yumi Matsutoya’s 26th single, released in October 1994.
It was unveiled as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series of the same title.
While many of Yuming’s songs from the ’90s onward feature somewhat eccentric melodic developments, this piece is crafted with a melody reminiscent of Showa-era children’s songs and school tunes, making it very approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s also popular as a graduation song, so many people may have sung it at their graduation ceremonies.
Overall, if you relax and sing with a gentle touch, it should come together nicely.
