illusionRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is often associated with songs that sit high in the vocal range, but “illusion,” which started streaming in July 2025, has little range fluctuation and is set in a key that’s comfortable to sing.
If you’re thinking, “I love Ryokushaka, but their songs are too high for me to sing!” this one is an easy track to try.
The biggest point of this song is the rhythm.
It has a step-like groove throughout—once you lose it, it’s hard to get back on—but using your body and hands while singing makes it easier to catch the groove and sing along.
It’s a fun song that’s easy to sing in chest voice and sure to hype up a karaoke session, so I’m adding it to my repertoire too! It’s probably best to memorize the lyrics and melody to some extent before giving it a go.
It’s a cool track—let’s learn it together!
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
Vaundy’s hugely popular song “Kaijuu no Hanauta” is one my students—regardless of gender—have practiced many times in vocal lessons! It’s a bit high for male singers, but it seems quite comfortable for female singers.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing.
The overall range spans two octaves from D3 to D5, and the pitch climbs significantly toward the latter half.
There are plenty of falsetto parts throughout, so those who are good with falsetto should be able to sing it smoothly.
Just be careful not to forget to breathe, since there are almost no breaks.
The sustained long note in the last chorus feels great, and there are chorus sections as well, making it perfect for getting everyone hyped!
MatatabiWANIMA
This is an up-tempo, energetic rock song used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Night of the Living Cat,” which starts in July 2025! The vocal range is F#3 to B4, so it should be fairly easy to sing, right? The tempo itself is a brisk 165, and there are some rap-like parts, so I recommend memorizing all the lyrics before singing.
It’s a short track under three minutes, but it will definitely hype up the crowd at karaoke! I personally want to add it to my repertoire, too!
Quiet seamakaroni enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu also has a wide vocal range, and many of their songs might feel “high” for male singers, but for low-voiced female singers, I think there are plenty of comfortable keys.
The song’s range is fairly contained at E3–B4.
Hattori’s vocals blend a gentle, talk-like delivery with some raspy moments, making it a track packed with the best of Macaroni Enpitsu.
The song is short—about three minutes—so it’s easy to learn; definitely consider adding it to your repertoire! By the way, I’m a Macaroni Enpitsu fan too, and I’ve posted a video on Instagram of me singing “Young Adult,” so please check it out if you’d like.
Moon on pampas grassShiina Ringo
Ringo Sheena’s “Miscanthus and the Moon” is actually a cover—the original song is “Gypsy” by the three-piece band Appa! The rock piano is super cool, and you can listen on YouTube, so definitely check out both versions! Like the original, Ringo Sheena’s version also has a very wide vocal range, from A2 to D5, so it might be fun for two people to split the low and high parts and sing together! Also, the low notes in the C section are quite challenging for an average female voice… This is your moment, dear reader! Give it a try and memorize it!
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO, who sing about women’s real feelings and are especially popular among younger women.
Their song “Ashita mo” was also used in a commercial, so the chorus is likely widely known, and it’s a number that really gets the crowd going at karaoke.
It’s also very popular as a cheering song for girls working hard at their jobs, studies, and everyday life, and if you sing it at a girls’ night out, it’ll definitely hype things up—a track everyone can relate to.
It’s a refreshing, pop tune packed to the brim with elements that get you excited.
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai
Here’s a song by Ai Otsuka that was released in 2003.
This very lively and charming track is played as a cheer song and chance theme at high school baseball games.
It’s also been used on music and variety shows, and she performed it at the 55th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, so it’s probably familiar to many ears.
With its cute image, choosing it as an opening greeting song could leave a great impression.
You could even say karaoke isn’t just about singing songs you like.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
