Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanHONEY WORKS
The song “Kawaikute Gomen feat.
Chu-tan,” which the public rated as going beyond cute into downright calculated, was initially treated somewhat like a ‘red-flag’ track.
However, its blatantly cutesy lyrics actually became a way to proudly show off cuteness, and it gradually rose to become a go-to anthem for girls.
As for the hi D at the start of the chorus, you don’t have to use falsetto there— a light mixed voice works as a substitute.
Try adjusting the key up or down to find the most comfortable range for you.

Tokyo Shandy RendezvousMAISONdes feat. Kafu, Tsumiki
The remake of the anime Urusei Yatsura garnered overwhelming support from younger generations.
“Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous” is the theme song for the remake version and also became a topic of discussion in Japan as a meme related to Teikyo Heisei University.
The vocal range is mid1 F# to high D, but the most frequently appearing high note is high E, so it’s best to adjust the key with an emphasis on making that note easier to sing.
EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella
They’re popular across a wide range of generations—from hardcore techno fans to more visually oriented general audiences—but if we’re talking about their most popular works, wouldn’t it have to be “Edison”? It showcases the cuteness of a female vocal to the fullest, while also conveying a certain fragile quality.
The vocal line is very feminine, but the range is not very wide at mid2B to hiC#, so definitely give it a try.
Monster IslandSuiyōbi no Campanella
This song, which is the theme for the TV anime “Chibi Godzilla no Gyakushū,” is a very upbeat track, just like you’d expect from Wednesday Campanella! It could be a hit at karaoke—fun for everyone and likely to go over well! When singing, keep a solid sense of rhythm throughout.
For the A melody, think more in terms of spoken lines and call-and-response rather than singing.
From the B melody, the singing element kicks in and the song takes on a cool vibe! The range is narrow, and it’s a track you’ll want to hear in the alluring lower register of a female vocalist.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire!
Museum of the FuturePerfume
It seems there are many people who say Perfume’s songs are so fast-paced that they can’t sing them! However, “Mirai no Museum” has a relatively slower tempo, so it’s easier to get into.
Also, among Perfume’s songs, the key isn’t too high, making it perfect as a first song.
It’s a bright, upbeat track, so it’s sure to get everyone excited.
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.
How about everyone singing it together? Many people probably choose a bright song for the first number, right? This song doesn’t have any extreme ranges, so it’s easy to sing and highly recommended.
Message of RougeArai Yumi
It’s a song released in 1975, back when Yumi Matsutoya was still known as Yumi Arai.
The reason it hasn’t become just a nostalgic oldie and is still widely known is probably because it was used as the opening theme for the 1989 film Kiki’s Delivery Service.
The chorus features an all-star lineup including Tatsuro Yamashita, Minako Yoshida, and Taeko Onuki, and it’s said that their harmonies further elevate the song’s quality.
This timeless classic that never fades with age is also a great choice for everyone to sing together as the first song at karaoke!
