[Karaoke] A roundup of songs that are easy for women to sing!

Sakura KissKawabe Chieko

Chieko Kawabe – Cherry Blossom Kiss [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO] (Opening Theme for the Nippon TV Anime “Ouran High School Host Club”)

The pitch isn’t too high or too low, making it an easy song to sing.

It’s best to sing it cheerfully and energetically.

The tricky part is the brief falsetto in the chorus, but if you can hit it, feel free to go for it! With practice, you can nail it and make the whole performance sound really cool.

Since the lyrics are cute, using a cute voice is recommended—it’ll hype up the crowd.

It’s an ideal song for people whose vocal range isn’t very wide.

Tsugaru Strait Winter SceneIshikawa Sayuri

Tsugaru Strait – Winter Scene

The 15th single by Japanese enka singer Sayuri Ishikawa, released in January 1977.

The song was a major hit, earning Ishikawa numerous music awards that year, including the Singing Award at the 19th Japan Record Awards and the Grand Prix Best Vocal Performance at the ’77 FNS Music Festival.

Ishikawa is an exceptionally skilled vocalist, so faithfully recreating the original would require vocal ability on par with hers.

However, the song itself has a simple structure and a slightly slow tempo, making it very easy to sing.

Since the melody makes frequent use of long tones, it might also be ideal as a practice piece for vibrato.

Summertime CinderellaRyokushokushakai

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Summer Time Cinderella' Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Summer Time Cinderella

This is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s seventh single overall, released in September 2023.

It was pre-released digitally in July of the same year and was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Midsummer Cinderella.” It’s a medium-to-up-tempo track with a very refreshing vibe! In this song, vocalist Haruko Nagaya showcases superb expression by deftly switching between chest voice and falsetto, especially in the chorus.

However, the vocal melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so I feel it’s quite singable even for the general public to casually pick at karaoke.

The song is notable for vocals that convey a broad, flowing phrasing over a slightly up-tempo backing track, so be careful not to let your singing get carried away and speed up with the track.

It’s best to sing with an understanding of the larger flow of each phrase, so be sure to listen closely to the original and study up beforehand.

breathRyokushokushakai

Ryokuoushoku Shakai “Breath” Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Breath

This is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s 8th digital-only single, released in July 2022.

Since Haruko Nagaya, the band’s vocalist, is known for her clear, high-tone voice, many of you might be thinking, “Is this really easy to sing?” But don’t worry! It’s true that mastering a variety of high tones and expressive nuances like she does is challenging, but the song itself is very straightforward in its structure.

So feel free to pick it at karaoke and enjoy singing it as if you’re humming along.

It’s easy to sing and welcoming to everyone, yet the deeper you pursue it, the more depth you’ll find—a song just like that!

I’m proudKahara Tomomi

Tomomi Kahala – “I’m proud” PV (original full version)

This is Tomomi Kahara’s third single, released on March 6, 1996.

The lyrics, composition, and production were all by Tetsuya Komuro.

It was a massive hit that sold over a million copies, and even now, listening again to write this piece, you can feel the producer Komuro’s remarkable skill in the memorability and catchiness of the chorus melody, as well as the dramatic melodies and sound design in the other sections.

When singing this at karaoke, many people may find it difficult to handle the high notes in the original key.

However, as mentioned, the melody itself is very easy to sing and remember, so if you’re not confident with high tones, try lowering the key and give it a shot.

Even with a lower key, if you aim your voice toward the upper palate as you sing, you can get closer to Kahara’s own slightly sparkling vocal quality!

Bedtime StoryNishino Kana

Kana Nishino “Bedtime Story” MV (Short Ver.)

This is Kana Nishino’s 34th single, released in September 2018.

After releasing this work, she went on hiatus, making this the last single before her break.

In terms of vocal melody, even when you listen through the whole song, there aren’t many parts that are particularly hard to sing.

To make it sound good at karaoke, I think the key point is how you cut off the notes at the end of each phrase.

Keep that in mind when you study the original track.

Also, note that the chorus modulates, so pay attention there as well.

Happy SongNishino Kana

Happy Song

The song “Happy Song,” included as a B-side on the 19th single “Always.” Used as the CM song for the SONY WALKMAN F800 series, its positive lyrics over a four-on-the-floor beat give you a boost.

The key is generally on the higher side throughout, but the vocal range isn’t very wide and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so it’s easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.

It’s an upbeat tune that will liven up karaoke—perfect for belting out to blow off steam when you’re feeling down or stressed.
