I can’t stay a daydreaming girlAikawa Nanase
Here is Nanase Aikawa’s debut single, released in 1995.
Written, composed, and produced by Tetsurō Oda.
For people of a certain generation, it’s a nostalgic, soul-stirring track.
Aikawa was marketed with the image of a slightly shadowy, bad-girl type, so this song is perfect for women aiming for that vibe.
If you kick off your set with this as the first song, your karaoke time is guaranteed to be a blast.

“Diamonds,” a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke that’s loved by people of all ages.
It’s an easy song to get into regardless of generation, making it perfect for the first track! Even if someone doesn’t know it, it’s very easy to listen to, so I highly recommend it.

A bit nostalgic!? This song has an ultra-upbeat tempo and is a fail-safe pick for the first track—highly recommended.
I think every generation has heard it at least once.
Let’s crank up the vibe all at once with Ayaya power!
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
This song, released in 1985 by Hiromi Iwasaki’s younger sister, Yoshimi Iwasaki, was used as the first opening theme of the anime Touch.
It’s a tune that instantly brings back the anime’s visuals and is sure to resonate with people of a certain generation.
It’s also used as a cheer song at high school baseball games, so many of you have probably heard it.
Its energetic, refreshing vibe makes it perfect as the first song.
Even if you’ve only ever heard the chorus, this is a track you should definitely practice and give a try.
I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki
Although the song is a bit advanced, it’s recommended for women who are confident in their vocal power.
It’s a strong, impactful track that will make listeners go, “Whoa!” Since it really hypes up the crowd, why not choose it as your opening number?
Excuse me for intruding.aimyon
This is a guitar-forward track by Aimyon, released on October 22, 2025, as a coupling song with “Venus Belt.” It’s neither fast nor slow, and once you learn it, it should be very easy to groove to! The chorus sits in a key that’s comfortable for women to sing, so even if you think you’re tone-deaf, you’ll probably be able to sing it! If you sing with a blank expression, it’s harder to hit the right pitches, so lift those facial muscles and have fun singing.
Also, swaying side to side while you sing makes it easier to keep the rhythm and fits the accents nicely, so it’s just right.
It’s a perfect vibe for karaoke too, so definitely give it a try!
