[Even If You're Tone-Deaf, It's Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Women (91–100)
FriendsREBECCA
Rebecca’s fourth single, released in October 1985.
Chosen as a TV drama’s theme song, it became a major hit, achieving the then-rare milestone of a million sales, and has since been covered many times by various artists.
The song is memorable for its very catchy, pop melody, and since NOKKO, the vocalist, isn’t the type of full-on, traditional powerhouse singer (in a good way), it’s a tune that feels easy for anyone to sing.
That accessibility surely helped it become such a big hit.
It’s also a safe recommendation as a karaoke choice for those who aren’t confident singers.
If the highest notes in the chorus are tough, try lowering the key when you sing.
I am a cat’s eye.Shiina Ringo
Ringo Sheena is a female singer who has remained at the forefront of Japan’s music scene for many years.
She has released many songs that exude a mature mood.
Among her works, the particularly recommended, easy-to-sing track is Watashi wa Neko no Me.
Although this piece features characteristics reminiscent of psychedelic rock and its structure is quite complex, the vocal line is relatively easy by her standards, with few falsetto parts, making it very singable.
Longing, sadness, and strength of heartShinohara Ryōko
Released in 1994, this smash hit produced by Tetsuya Komuro and sung by Ryoko Shinohara won the Excellence Award at the 36th Japan Record Awards that same year, as well as the Excellence Award at the 27th Japan Cable Radio Awards.
If I may say so, this is one of those songs that feels more authentic when it sounds a little imperfect rather than being sung flawlessly.
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.
HarukaYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s “Haruka” is available on streaming services, and—as the cover art hints—it’s actually a story song told from the perspective of a mug! The way it recalls daily life with the mug’s female owner is such a fun concept, isn’t it? The song itself has a gentle melody and is written so you can sing each phrase with care.
If you think you’re tone-deaf, you might not be as off-pitch as you believe, and many people actually find higher notes easier to sing than they expect.
In times like that, try singing “Haruka”! It’s such a cute song that you’ll naturally start smiling, which lifts your facial muscles.
That, in turn, makes it easier to stay on pitch and makes singing more enjoyable! From the A verse to the B verse to the chorus, be sure to keep those facial muscles lifted the whole time.
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.
First NightYorushika
Yorushika is a musical duo that’s gained popularity for their abstract lyrics and ennui-tinged sound.
They’re consistently ranked near the top of Japan’s mainstream charts, so many of you may already know them.
While some people think their songs are hard to sing because of the high notes, most of those high notes don’t require much volume, so if you sing softly, just about anyone can handle them.
Among their songs, Daiichiya (“First Night”) is especially easy to sing, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.
