Songs women like. Famous and popular Japanese songs (71–80)

Sky-blue DaysSHISHAMO

When graduation season comes around, this is a song I’d love for women to sing: “Mizuiro no Hibi” by SHISHAMO, a hugely popular girls’ band among the younger generation.

Its lyrics, which depict everyday scenes at school and the bittersweet feelings of a girl before graduation, are sure to resonate with any student.

I’m sure many men would love to hear such a lovely, cute-lyric song sung! It’s a song that’s perfect for this time of year, so if you have a chance to go to karaoke before graduation, definitely give it a try!

If you call it loveUru

If you call it love by Uru is a gentle song about the resolve to “never lose again the things you only realize are precious after they’re gone.” Rather than dwelling on the pessimism of loss, it puts forward a positive feeling—reaffirming what’s truly important through the experience of losing it.

A man hearing it sung right in front of him would probably be startled, thinking, “Does she not want to lose me!?” Because it isn’t a straightforward love song, you can sing it without feeling embarrassed.

Why not casually sing it to someone you like?

A hugely popular music duo, YOASOBI has a summer-themed song featuring a guitar rock-style sound with a strong, dance-influenced beat.

The clear, straight-reaching vocals of ikura are striking and refreshing, so women confident in their singing should definitely give it a try.

Guys will surely love it! What’s more, the chorus melody is catchy and memorable, and combined with the upbeat groove, it’s a track that can really get the crowd going.

As a female-vocal artist you absolutely can’t leave out right now, YOASOBI is at the top.

Plenty of people, regardless of gender, love vocalist ikura’s clear, translucent voice! That said, their signature song “Yoru ni Kakeru” is fast-paced and can feel a bit challenging for many women.

That’s why I recommend “Encore.” Its tempo is on the slower side and easier to sing, and many men actually hope to hear women sing this kind of simple, beautiful love ballad! If the key feels too high, it’s totally fine to lower it to match your vocal range.

Singer-songwriter YUI is very popular among men, and this signature track of hers is definitely a surefire choice! The lyrics, which capture the feelings of a woman who’s fallen in love, are adorable—perfect for expressing your crush.

The tune itself is fresh and the melody is pleasant, so it’ll both liven up the mood at karaoke and make it a selection that gets you noticed by the guys!

She’s known for an emotional, beautiful, and bittersweet voice.

Among her songs, “Itsu Aetara,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime Insomniacs After School, is a track where her poignant falsetto shines, reminiscent of one of her signature songs, “Kabutomushi.” While her songs often have distinctive melodic lines that can be hard to sing, this one has a relatively simple melody, making it perfect even for those who aren’t very confident in their singing!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call Aiko the spokesperson for the hearts of all women in love.

The lyrics portray an unforgettable love, reflecting on and remembering someone dearly loved.

It’s a sweet yet bittersweet love song that tugs at men’s hearts.
