Recommended Ballads for Women (51–60)
Summer loverSHISHAMO
“Natsu no Koibito” (Summer Lover) is a love song released by SHISHAMO in 2016.
It’s included on the album SHISHAMO 4.
This track is recommended for women looking for a love song to sing in the summer.
It portrays a strong-willed woman who decides to end a relationship—she loves the fun of it, but realizes they’ll both fall apart if it continues.
As we grow older, love alone isn’t always enough to stay together.
Since women often mature emotionally sooner, they may be the first to recognize that truth.
It’s a summer ballad that women can’t help but relate to and want to sing.
EndlessTOMOO
A piano ballad by TOMOO that sincerely portrays a straightforward love for someone dear.
A pure wish for an enduring, certain bond that goes beyond physical fulfillment resonates with delicate melodies.
Expressing the depth of love and its complex emotions, this piece was chosen as the ending theme for the 2024 October drama “Zen Ryōiki Ijō Kaiketsu-shitsu” (All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office).
Its simple yet expansive piano sound and TOMOO’s smoky vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a song to listen to when you’re struggling with a relationship with someone important, or when you want to sort out your feelings for them.
The earnest sentiment and gentle, enveloping voice will surely stay close to your heart.
Because you are hereUru
This is the theme song for the 2020 drama “Ship of Theseus,” which portrays the bonds of family.
The drama itself was wonderfully moving—hard to watch without tears—but surely the song “Anata ga Iru Koto de” played a major role in that.
Filled with heartfelt emotions for someone precious, this song prompts you to think of those close to you—family, a partner—and realize anew how important their presence is.
While it’s difficult to capture Uru’s vocal style—powerful yet restrained, with a delicate, slender quality—if you can deliver it well at karaoke, it’s a ballad that will earn you instant respect.
PrologueUru
This song became a major topic as the theme song for the drama “Chugakusei Nikki” (Diary of a Middle School Teacher).
The singer-songwriter Uru, who performs it, was already well-known for posting cover videos on YouTube even before releasing this track.
It’s a ballad brimming with the charm of her husky voice.
Reading the lyrics brings back the drama’s storyline and makes your chest tighten with emotion.
Recommended ballads for women (61–70)
miracleUru
The 5th single “Kiseki,” used as the theme song for the second season of the TV drama “Kounodori: All About Life.” Released as a lead single from the first album “Monochrome,” its lyrics, which depict a vast, all-encompassing love that ties in with the drama’s story, are truly moving.
Although the song maintains a high register throughout, the restrained vocal style makes the high notes easier to hit, and the range isn’t very wide, so it’s relatively approachable.
It’s a heartfelt ballad that you’ll want to sing with Uru’s signature whispery tone in mind.
Swallowtail Butterfly ~A Love Song~YEN TOWN BAND
A song that became a hit as the theme for the film Swallowtail.
Although YEN TOWN BAND is a fictional band that appears in the movie, they actually made their real-life debut thanks to this track.
The vocals are by CHARA, an artist who has long enjoyed strong support from women.
This popular song has been covered by many artists; it’s a very quiet yet striking ballad that conveys a deep, burning emotion beneath the surface.
It’s often performed at CHARA’s live shows, so it’s a familiar number for fans, but if you’re a woman who hasn’t heard it before, why not take this opportunity to give it a try?
maybeYOASOBI
YOASOBI enjoys immense support from the younger generation.
YOASOBI is a music duo that creates songs based on real novels.
When you think of YOASOBI, you might picture many up-tempo tracks, including their signature song “Yoru ni Kakeru.” However, this song, released in July 2020, features a calm sound and a relaxed tempo, making it very pleasant to listen to.
If fast-paced songs aren’t your thing, why not try singing this one? The original story for this song is Shinano’s novel “Tabun.”
