User ManualNishino Kana
This song, packed tightly with the feelings girls want to convey to their beloved boyfriends and husbands, has been highly praised by women.
With its fun theme of a “user manual for girls,” it’s enjoyable even if you don’t know the song—just reading the lyrics is entertaining!
One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO
This song has a relaxed groove that’s easy to catch, and I’ve heard the average karaoke score is in the low-to-mid 90s, so I think it’s a song where it’s relatively easy to score well! In the first verse, there are spots where the pitch jumps higher—don’t hesitate, project your voice clearly into the mic.
The chorus has a unique rhythm, so be precise: make clean cuts where needed and keep the timing accurate instead of letting it all flow together.
Also, adding clear dynamics throughout the song boosts your expressiveness score, which can really raise your overall points.
Try focusing on each point one by one and give it a shot!
As a personSuperfly
Superfly has many songs with a high vocal range, but this one is a cover of SUPER BEAVER, so the range is set lower than in typical Superfly songs.
If you’re a woman who wants to sing SUPER BEAVER’s “Hito to Shite,” the original might feel too low and make it hard to hit the pitches, so singing the Superfly version could make it easier to match the notes and get a higher score.
Listening through the song, it’s structured to build momentum from the A-melody into the chorus.
The last chorus modulates and goes even higher, but if you sing with energy, it becomes easier to project and stay on pitch, so I recommend riding the rhythm as you sing.
Zankyo SankaAimer
This is the eighth single by Aimer, a female singer and lyricist, released in January 2022.
The CD version was released earlier in December 2021 ahead of the digital release.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc, so many of you may have heard it there.
Aimer is highly regarded for her vocal ability and expressive singing, so the bar for performing this song at karaoke is by no means low.
However, if you can master it, your own singing skills will surely improve significantly.
The song has a fast tempo, so start by practicing to keep up with the pace and to switch your vocal production smoothly in time with the rhythm.
Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
Keyakizaka46’s debut single “Silent Majority,” released in 2016, is a track that strongly conveys a “cool” image.
It evokes the image of a strong, grounded woman and feels like it gives listeners a supportive push, lifting their spirits.
If you sing this as the first song at karaoke, it will surely captivate everyone—cool and energizing.
It’s a powerful number that seems to raise the morale of the whole room.
Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
Since it’s originally an anime song, the melody is very easy to remember and really easy to sing.
Even women with lower voices can sing it.
With its up-tempo feel—and because everyone knows “Cutie Honey”—there’s no doubt the crowd will be pumped and hyped from the very first song.
Summertime CinderellaRyokushokushakai
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 chosen 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! Vocalist Haruko Nagaya delivers a superb performance, deftly switching between chest voice and falsetto—especially in the chorus—but the vocal melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so I think it’s quite singable for the general public to pick casually at karaoke.
The song is striking for vocals that convey a broad, flowing phrasing over a slightly up-tempo backing track, so be careful not to let your singing rush along with the track.
It’s best to sing with an understanding of the larger phrasing of each line, so be sure to listen closely to the original and prepare in advance.
