[Recommended for Women] This Is the Perfect First Song for Karaoke! A Roundup of Popular Japanese Songs (71–80)
Monster IslandSuiyōbi no Campanella
This song, which is the theme for the TV anime “Chibi Godzilla no Gyakushū,” is a very upbeat track, just like you’d expect from Wednesday Campanella! It could be a hit at karaoke—fun for everyone and likely to go over well! When singing, keep a solid sense of rhythm throughout.
For the A melody, think more in terms of spoken lines and call-and-response rather than singing.
From the B melody, the singing element kicks in and the song takes on a cool vibe! The range is narrow, and it’s a track you’ll want to hear in the alluring lower register of a female vocalist.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire!
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
At this point, it’s no exaggeration to call this song a “national favorite,” right? It’s a single released by AKB48 in 2013 with Rino Sashihara in the center position.
It’s still a go-to for party dance songs, and back then many people uploaded videos of themselves dancing to it on social media, so it became known across a wide range of ages.
In other words, it’s a song that can get any gathering excited, without worrying about the setting.
It’ll boost everyone’s energy right from the very first track.
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.
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.
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.
Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa
Koresawa, a female singer-songwriter known for lyrics that stir romantic feelings, has gained widespread popularity.
If you’re a woman in your twenties, chances are you’ve sung or listened to her songs at least once.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Uwaki Shitara Akan de” (“Don’t You Dare Cheat”).
Although it has a pop feel, it actually has a very narrow vocal range, making it easy for any woman to sing.
And because each phrase is short, you won’t miss your cue after taking a breath.
