[Recommended for Women] This Is the Perfect First Song for Karaoke! A Roundup of Popular Japanese Songs (71–80)
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!
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!
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.
escalateAimer
Aimer is a singer-songwriter who debuted in 2011.
She’s also known for contributing many theme songs for films, TV dramas, and anime.
In particular, Zankyo Sanka, the opening theme for Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc, topped numerous music charts.
One of her charms is how dramatically her style changes from song to song—sometimes delivering intense tracks, other times tender ballads.
Be sure to listen to several of her songs and enjoy the contrast.
