User ManualNishino Kana
This song, packed tightly with the feelings girls want to convey to their beloved boyfriends and husbands, has been highly praised by women.
With its fun theme of a “user manual for girls,” it’s enjoyable even if you don’t know the song—just reading the lyrics is entertaining!
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.

Zankyo SankaAimer
This is the eighth single by Aimer, a female singer and lyricist, released in January 2022.
The CD version was released earlier in December 2021 ahead of the digital release.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc, so many of you may have heard it there.
Aimer is highly regarded for her vocal ability and expressive singing, so the bar for performing this song at karaoke is by no means low.
However, if you can master it, your own singing skills will surely improve significantly.
The song has a fast tempo, so start by practicing to keep up with the pace and to switch your vocal production smoothly in time with the rhythm.
Summertime CinderellaRyokushokushakai
This is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s seventh single overall, released in September 2023.
It was pre-released digitally in July of the same year and was chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Midsummer Cinderella.” It’s a medium-to up-tempo track with a very refreshing vibe! Vocalist Haruko Nagaya delivers a superb performance, deftly switching between chest voice and falsetto—especially in the chorus—but the vocal melody itself isn’t particularly complex, so I think it’s quite singable for the general public to pick casually at karaoke.
The song is striking for vocals that convey a broad, flowing phrasing over a slightly up-tempo backing track, so be careful not to let your singing rush along with the track.
It’s best to sing with an understanding of the larger phrasing of each line, so be sure to listen closely to the original and prepare in advance.
Immoral SummerNogizaka 46
Nogizaka46’s “Immoral Summer,” which became available for streaming starting in July 2025.
Since the lyrics are packed with summery words, it might be a good idea to start learning it now for the coming season! Rather than a “cute, idol-like” tune, it has a slightly cool vibe that makes you want to sing along.
The overall range leans more toward the mid to low register than high notes, so it’s a song you can comfortably sing in your natural voice.
That said, one thing to watch out for when singing mid–low songs is that if you let it just flow without intention, it can lose dynamics and end up sounding dull.
Keep your facial muscles lifted, aim to resonate around the glabella area, and be mindful of accenting the first beat of each measure! Since it’s a group song, there’s hardly any rest when you sing it solo, but it’s totally fine to prioritize the parts you want to sing.
There’s probably choreography too, so try incorporating it and have fun!
