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!
illusionRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is often associated with songs that sit high in the vocal range, but “illusion,” which started streaming in July 2025, has little range fluctuation and is set in a key that’s comfortable to sing.
If you’re thinking, “I love Ryokushaka, but their songs are too high for me to sing!” this one is an easy track to try.
The biggest point of this song is the rhythm.
It has a step-like groove throughout—once you lose it, it’s hard to get back on—but using your body and hands while singing makes it easier to catch the groove and sing along.
It’s a fun song that’s easy to sing in chest voice and sure to hype up a karaoke session, so I’m adding it to my repertoire too! It’s probably best to memorize the lyrics and melody to some extent before giving it a go.
It’s a cool track—let’s learn it together!
Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy
Vaundy’s hugely popular song “Kaijuu no Hanauta” is one my students—regardless of gender—have practiced many times in vocal lessons! It’s a bit high for male singers, but it seems quite comfortable for female singers.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing.
The overall range spans two octaves from D3 to D5, and the pitch climbs significantly toward the latter half.
There are plenty of falsetto parts throughout, so those who are good with falsetto should be able to sing it smoothly.
Just be careful not to forget to breathe, since there are almost no breaks.
The sustained long note in the last chorus feels great, and there are chorus sections as well, making it perfect for getting everyone hyped!
MatatabiWANIMA
This is an up-tempo, energetic rock song used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Night of the Living Cat,” which starts in July 2025! The vocal range is F#3 to B4, so it should be fairly easy to sing, right? The tempo itself is a brisk 165, and there are some rap-like parts, so I recommend memorizing all the lyrics before singing.
It’s a short track under three minutes, but it will definitely hype up the crowd at karaoke! I personally want to add it to my repertoire, too!

Quiet seamakaroni enpitsu
Macaroni Enpitsu also has a wide vocal range, and many of their songs might feel “high” for male singers, but for low-voiced female singers, I think there are plenty of comfortable keys.
The song’s range is fairly contained at E3–B4.
Hattori’s vocals blend a gentle, talk-like delivery with some raspy moments, making it a track packed with the best of Macaroni Enpitsu.
The song is short—about three minutes—so it’s easy to learn; definitely consider adding it to your repertoire! By the way, I’m a Macaroni Enpitsu fan too, and I’ve posted a video on Instagram of me singing “Young Adult,” so please check it out if you’d like.
Moon on pampas grassShiina Ringo
Ringo Sheena’s “Miscanthus and the Moon” is actually a cover—the original song is “Gypsy” by the three-piece band Appa! The rock piano is super cool, and you can listen on YouTube, so definitely check out both versions! Like the original, Ringo Sheena’s version also has a very wide vocal range, from A2 to D5, so it might be fun for two people to split the low and high parts and sing together! Also, the low notes in the C section are quite challenging for an average female voice… This is your moment, dear reader! Give it a try and memorize it!
You don’t listen to rock.aimyon
When you’re thinking about what to sing at karaoke, the latest hit songs or tracks by trending musicians are the go-to choices, right? Among them, Aimyon’s songs are ones everyone sings—pretty much any of her tracks are popular karaoke picks.
For a first song, how about trying the highly popular “Kimi wa Rock wo Kikanai” (You Don’t Listen to Rock)? It’s a very well-known song and recognized across a wide range of age groups, so it’s sure to liven up any gathering.
