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.
Prisoner Of LoveUtada Hikaru
Hikaru Utada’s songs are often thought to be hard to sing because many of them are in a high key, but Prisoner of Love is easier to sing, so I recommend it.
The key range isn’t very wide, so it’s less likely you’ll go off pitch, making it a perfect song to start your vocal practice with.
The lyrics are easy to get emotionally invested in, so why not try singing it with your heart?
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.
Music HourPorunogurafiti
Porno Graffitti’s “Music Hour” is the perfect song to kick off a karaoke session.
It’s super bright and upbeat, instantly breaking the initial nerves and guaranteed to pump everyone up.
It’s also easy to sing for women with slightly lower voices, so I highly recommend it.

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.
The decisive battle is on Friday.DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a very lively, up-tempo song, so I recommend it as the first track at karaoke.
