Pure AsiaPUFFY
PUFFY’s songs don’t go very high, so they’re great and easy to sing for women with lower voices.
The tempo isn’t too fast either, making them a good choice for people who have trouble getting into a song or don’t want their tone-deafness to show.
The melodies are simple as well, so why not pick them for vocal practice?
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!
My friendZARD
Since ZARD’s songs don’t go too high in pitch, many women probably find them easy to sing.
“My Friend” also has a small vocal range and an up-tempo beat that makes it easy to keep rhythm, so it’s a great choice for the first song, doubling as a vocal warm-up.
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!

When it was all the rage, everyone sang this song as the first number.
Even now, hearing it gets me pumped up.
The melody doesn’t have big pitch changes, so it’s easy to sing and I highly recommend it.
It’s guaranteed to get the crowd going in a big sing-along.

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.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
Golden Bomber’s “Memeshikute” that everyone knows.
It’s a perfect first song for karaoke because it instantly boosts the mood! The key is comfortable for women, so it’s recommended for those who struggle with high notes.
Enjoy doing the choreography along with it, too.
