[Even If You’re Tone-Deaf, It’s Okay!] Easy Karaoke Songs for Women (121–130)
You’re My Only Shinin’ StarNagayama Miho
A song by Miho Nakayama written and composed by Toshiki Kadomatsu.
It was released as her 12th single on February 17, 1988.
A self-cover version by Kadomatsu himself was later released as well.
While the melody features Kadomatsu’s signature stylistic flourishes in various places, overall it’s built on an extremely singable and memorable tune, crafted in the classic vein of a ballad.
As such, it’s likely a ballad that anyone can easily take on.
I am rain.Inabakumo
Inabakumori, a Vocaloid producer known for rock-style tracks, has been gaining popularity.
Recently, they’ve also been releasing songs with a stylish flair.
Among Inabakumori’s works, the one I especially recommend for women who struggle with pitch is Watashi wa Ame (I Am Rain).
It has a downbeat vibe, so it doesn’t feature the sudden pitch jumps common in many Vocaloid songs.
Plus, there are plenty of breaks, so you won’t have to worry about breathing.
If you want to sing a low-range song with ease, definitely check it out.
Dec.Kanaria
Kanaria is a Japanese Vocaloid producer known for cool, stylish tracks.
If you’re into Vocaloid, you’ve probably heard Kanaria’s “Hyakki Matsuri” at least once.
Among Kanaria’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Dec.” This piece is a downbeat yet cool track that might seem challenging at first listen, but in reality it has a narrow vocal range and is easy to sing.
There are no long sustained notes or intense vocal parts, so be sure to check it out.
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.

Blue VelvetKudō Shizuka
It was released in 1997 as Shizuka Kudo’s 29th single.
The song was used as the third ending theme for the Fuji TV anime Dragon Ball GT.
It is very popular for karaoke, even reaching No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Karaoke Rankings, and is an easy-to-sing, upbeat track.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
This song by Miyuki Nakajima was created as the theme for NHK General TV’s popular program “Project X: Challengers.” Released in 2000, it’s an epic piece.
Since Miyuki Nakajima has a distinctive voice and singing style, it’s also recommended for people with lower voices or those who don’t consider themselves great singers.
Even if you’re a little off-key, the key to success is to fully channel Miyuki Nakajima as you sing.
UFOpinku redii
This was the sixth single by Pink Lady, an idol group emblematic of the Showa era, released in December 1977.
If you’re choosing songs based on how easy they are to sing, you can’t leave out Showa-era pop, and it’s no exaggeration to say this track is at the top of the list of “easy-to-sing, easy-to-remember” songs.
Back then, many girls in elementary and junior high schools would sing while dancing, imitating the duo.
If you watch the footage, learn the choreography, and sing while dancing, you might find it even more fun!
