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

Best FriendNishino Kana

Kana Nishino 'Best Friend (short ver.)'

Kana Nishino’s signature song “Best Friend” expresses gratitude to a cherished friend.

With its contemporary rhythm, melody, and lyrics, it’s overwhelmingly popular among young women.

It’s best to sing it with heartfelt thanks, but keep calm so you don’t overbelt.

If you sing while lightly grooving, you’ll bring out the song’s vibe even more.

A key practice point is Nishino’s distinctive sustained notes.

By firmly holding the elongated parts, the song will evolve into a more captivating performance.

moonlightOnitsuka Chihiro

Chihiro Onitsuka – Gekkou (Moonlight)

It’s a very famous song, partly because it was used in the drama “Trick.” Although Chihiro Onitsuka’s unique singing style can make it seem difficult, it’s actually an easy song for women to sing.

If you sing it at karaoke, it’ll likely spark a lively conversation about “Trick,” too.

You like whisky, don’t you?Ishikawa Sayuri

You like whisky, don’t you?

This song is a very popular number—a mellow, bittersweet blend of jazz and enka.

It’s also a karaoke favorite.

The melody follows a familiar flow, making it easy to sing.

The key is to take it slow and avoid rushing, singing in a way that draws listeners in.

Try delivering it with a relaxed, distinctive tempo and a mature sound.

Your karaoke room might just turn into another world (lol).

Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko

Sailor Fukuto Kikanju (Original Version)

It was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single, released in November 1981.

It served as the theme song for the film of the same name starring Yakushimaru.

With a simple, easy-to-remember melody in the style of Showa-era New Music and straightforward, rhythm-friendly lyrics, it’s an impressive song that even those not confident in singing can perform without strain.

Yakushimaru’s vocals are also very natural and direct, with almost no affectation, so try listening closely to the original, learn it, and give it a sing.

Incidentally, Takao Kisugi’s “Yume no Tochuu,” released under his own name as the composer, is a different song that shares the same title.

SignAimer

Aimer “Sign” MUSIC VIDEO (Opening theme for the TV anime Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF)

Aimer is a female singer-songwriter who is popular across a wide range of generations.

Her warm, whispery vocal tone is striking, isn’t it? Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for women as an easy song to sing is “Sign.” The melody spans from low to mid-high notes, so the range is somewhat broad, but there aren’t any parts so high that you’d need to use falsetto.

Even those who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it.

Give it a try!

only my railgun

The opening theme of the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun.

The exhilarating synths ring out smoothly, and the piercing, effect-laden vocals feel refreshing.

The beauty of the chorus melody and the overall polish of the track have earned it support not only from anime fans but also from music lovers.

MaidenTomei

Tomei – Maiden [Official Music Video]

Tomei, who gained nationwide popularity through her collaboration with Kenshi Yonezu, is now taking on various genres as a female singer-songwriter.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend to women is “Maiden.” The piece generally has a narrow vocal range and doesn’t include sections that require long tones with shouts.

While it does call for a somewhat lyrical vocal delivery—so you’ll need to pay attention to expressiveness—once you clear that, it’s an easy song to perform.
