Recommended for Women: Sing These First! A Roundup of Popular Japanese Songs for Karaoke (81–90)
LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu
This is a digital single by Mayu Maeshima, released in January 2024.
It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime ‘Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord.’ With its very powerful high-tone vocals and slightly idiosyncratic phrasing and vocal nuances, it’s a difficult song with several hurdles to clear if you want to sing it well.
Precisely for that reason, it’s a track I’d love confident singers to take on.
Not only does it require consistently powerful vocal delivery, but the rhythm and groove of the so-called digi-rock backing track are also crucial points for performing it.
Be sure to study those aspects thoroughly before you give it a try.
Baby youyuka
This is one of Yuka’s signature songs, known for its melodious, memorable lyrics and rhythm.
Released in January 2023, it has achieved astounding popularity, surpassing 7.8 billion plays on social media.
Spreading primarily on TikTok, the song reached No.
1 on Billboard’s TikTok Weekly Top 20.
It was also selected as the theme song for NHK’s late-night drama “Otonari ni Ginga” (A Galaxy Next Door).
It’s a great pick for first-time karaoke singers.
Its simple melody and mid-tempo groove make it easy to sing.
Try singing it with friends or family and enjoy a fun time together.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
To aim for a perfect 100, women don’t necessarily have to sing songs by female artists.
That’s why I recommend Bunny Girl.
It’s the well-known classic by AKASAKI.
Although the song is noted for its light, breezy melody, it surprisingly has a very narrow vocal range—among the narrowest even in Japanese pop.
The vocal line is also gently contoured with little variation, so as long as you set the right key, it should be easy to shoot for 100.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Chu, diversity.ano
After leaving You’ll Melt More! (Yurumerumo!), ano launched her solo career and, thanks to her unique persona, has become a regular on variety shows.
Her third major digital-only single, Chu, Diversity, which was used as the ending theme for episode 7 of the TV anime Chainsaw Man, stands out for its cute vocals over a thrilling ensemble.
The addictive chorus phrases and melody line make it a joy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a catchy pop tune you’ll want to perform along with its unforgettable dance routine.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
This song, which became the opening theme for the smash-hit TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, is a 2019 release by LiSA.
Among newer tracks, it’s likely one of the most widely known across generations.
The song requires solid technique, so it’s recommended for people confident in their singing.
Since it’s a famous track, there are often videos on YouTube explaining key singing points, so practicing with those as a reference can be helpful.
It’s guaranteed to get the crowd hyped right from the first song at karaoke!
Starry NightYuka
There’s a standout new-generation artist with a husky voice named Yu-ka.
She’s also known for debuting with the song “lullaby,” produced by Toru from ONE OK ROCK.
Her popularity really took off in 2023 when she created “Hoshizukiyo,” the theme song for the drama “A Night When Stars Fall.” First, savor her distinctive vocals—husky yet high-pitched.
They’ll grow on you, and you’ll soon find yourself wanting to listen to her other songs too.
In conclusion
We introduced recommended songs for a woman’s first track at karaoke! There were plenty of songs that hype up the room from the very first number, but there were also some that help you relax and gently warm up the atmosphere.
