[If You Can Sing These, You’ll Look Cool!] A Collection of Popular Karaoke Songs Recommended for Women (311–320)

TATOONakamori Akina

Akina Nakamori’s 21st single in total, released in May 1988.

Over a slightly jazzy arrangement and an eye-catching bass line, Nakamori’s vocals—richly resonant in the low to mid range—really shine.

With songs like this, especially in parts like the A-melody, many people tend to mumble, but try to sing it coolly so the lyrics are clearly intelligible.

I think mastering chest voice is essential for this track, and it’s one I’d definitely encourage women confident in their lower register to take on.

This is a song that became a hot topic after being used as the image song for the 2018 TBS Tuesday drama “Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season.” Utada Hikaru’s trembling voice at the very beginning is striking.

Despite its relaxed tempo, the unique way the Japanese lyrics are set makes it a highly challenging song to sing.

If you can nail the opening section perfectly, it feels incredibly good.

Mela!Ryokushokushakai

A song released in 2020 by Ryokuoushoku Shakai, who have provided tie-in tracks for anime, dramas, and more.

The music video drew attention for portraying a wolf—often cast as the villain in fairy tales—as the protagonist.

It’s a cool, fast-paced track that conveys the message that everyone holds many possibilities within themselves.

With handclaps in the arrangement, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke! It was also used as the commercial song for Palty Coloring Milk.

Singer-songwriter LANA is drawing major attention in the hip-hop and R&B scenes.

Her husky voice and powerful, Black music–inspired vocals are striking, and she’s an artist at the forefront of today’s hip-hop and R&B.

She’s also well known for being the real-life younger sister of rapper LEX.

Her track “99” is a big tune that showcases her style.

From Beyoncé-like shouts to a rap section with modern, flow-driven delivery, the song packs in many elements aligned with global trends—and it’s unquestionably a demanding piece to perform.

JiLL-Decoy association is one of Japan’s leading jazz bands, commonly known by their nickname, JilDeco.

They’re known for extensive crossover influences, featuring complex musicality rooted in jazz and neo-soul.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Before Putting on the Dress.” It features an exceptionally intricate and advanced vocal line you wouldn’t typically hear in the mainstream.

It’s the kind of piece where just nailing the pitch is a real challenge.

Released in November 2023, this is a work by tuki., a rising star who has been making waves as a 15-year-old, currently active junior high school singer-songwriter.

I must admit my ignorance—I learned about tuki.

for the first time while writing this piece—but I was truly surprised by her mature vocal tone and refined singing! She delivers melodies with a touch of melancholy with remarkable skill.

Though her songs are characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range and melodies that are easy to remember and hum along to, making them a good choice when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke, they demand expressive delivery more than vocal technique.

Be sure to listen closely to the original, study each phrase and the nuances of pronunciation in the lyrics, and then give it a try.

Your LoveFurui Riho

Furui Riho is a female singer-songwriter known for authentic tracks influenced by Western music.

She may not yet have the name recognition of top-tier singers, but her talent is first-rate, and the way she delivers songs that stand shoulder to shoulder with Western releases shows just how skilled she is.

Among her catalog, the one I particularly recommend is “Your Love.” It’s a downbeat track, but the vocal range required is quite wide, and it makes frequent use of ad-libs, making it very challenging to perform.

If you like m-flo, this will probably hit the spot.

In conclusion

We introduced some cool tracks by distinctive artists that let female vocalists fully showcase their singing ability. Did you find a favorite? While keeping the original style in mind, sing it out comfortably in your own way and stay true to yourself!
