LOVE MachineMōningu Musume.
Morning Musume’s signature hit “LOVE Machine” helped define an era of idols.
Even though time has passed since its release, it’s still a huge karaoke favorite and guaranteed to get the crowd going! Let’s all sing along and crank up the energy!
Seduce Venusnozomi
This song was released on July 4, 2025, and it’s the theme for the DMM TV show “LOVE RING.” Some of you might already find it familiar.
The tempo is on the faster side, but the vocal range isn’t that wide, so it should be a comfortable key for most women.
However, the very end of the chorus goes up to D#5.
If you’re used to singing high notes, you might be able to power through each phrase with momentum, but if you’re not, forcing it could strain your throat—so switch to head voice without pushing.
You’ll need more breath support than you might expect, and once you get used to it, you’ll likely be able to sing it a bit more strongly.
It’s a cool track that’s sure to hype up the crowd! Give it a try and learn it!
SenbonzakuraWagakki Band
The Vocaloid song “Senbonzakura” is very famous, and this time I’ll explain it using the easier-to-understand Wagakki Band version.
Since the lyrics contain lots of difficult kanji and words, I recommend memorizing it by ear so you can handle it at karaoke! When singing, the key point is to articulate clearly so the words don’t get blurred.
In particular, crisp vowel pronunciation will make it easier to listen to and sing.
The A-melody has a lot of words, so rather than “singing every single word firmly,” it’s probably best to sing with a light, bouncy feel.
The chorus builds toward the end and includes some long notes, so singing in a comfortable voice for you will feel great.
It’s a famous song, so many people have covered it.
Be sure to listen to various versions of “Senbonzakura” and find the one you like best!
Koi-bi and ROMANCEGMU
This is the 15th single by GMU, the idol group serving as sightseeing ambassadors for Aomori City.
The song incorporates elements of Baroque music and has a somewhat nostalgic feel.
I think it’s a track that can be performed solo and still sound cool and exciting! Listening from the A melody, it gives the impression of having quite a lot of low notes.
High notes can be easier to hit when you project your voice with energy, but low notes are the opposite: if you use plenty of breath and release your voice slowly, as if right in front of you, it becomes easier to stay on pitch.
There are many tips for this, but the most important is to let a “bundle” of breath out slowly in front of you.
I used to struggle with low notes myself, but as I studied vocal training and experimented, this method made it much easier for me to sing low notes.
Since we don’t often use low voices in daily life, it’s natural not to be accustomed to them.
When you sing, try to keep these tips in mind!
Please, Bach!Hinatazaka46
A bright song with a catchy chorus melody and an appealing sense of rhythm.
Since many parts aren’t too high and can be sung without strain, it’s a relatively easy idol song for women to sing! It’s a cheerful, energetic track characteristic of Hinatazaka, so it will definitely get the crowd going! There are sections with a lot of words, but instead of trying to articulate every single syllable, you’ll sing more rhythmically if you keep it light and ride the melody.
You might initially struggle with the rhythm in the B-melody, but if you stay calm and focus on the spacing, the rhythm will lock in—so don’t worry.
Keep the meter in 4/4, and imagine resting on the first beat before singing.
Once you get that space right, it’ll sound really cool! There’s also a touch of Bach in the latter half of the song, making it irresistible for classical music fans!

The Maiden with Flaxen HairShimatani Hitomi
Originally released in 1968, this song is a great choice for karaoke with older folks.
Hitomi Shimatani covered it in 2002, and it became a big hit.
It’s easy for all generations to listen to, and the key isn’t very high, so it’s easy to sing.
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
