[For Women] Grab Attention by Singing Difficult Songs at Karaoke! (71–80)
AshesSuperfly
This is Superfly’s ninth digital download single, released in November 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the TBS television drama “Gekokujō Kyūji,” which began airing on October 15, 2023.
Shiho Ochi, the vocalist renowned for her powerful and rich voice, shines here as well—her appeal is fully on display in this track! If you sing it with the same power as she does, you’re sure to become the center of attention.
Be sure to create clear contrasts in dynamics between the different parts and phrases of the song.
It’s also very important to produce the falsetto in the chorus cleanly!
unravelTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
Among TK from Ling tosite sigure’s songs, the masterpiece “unravel” is renowned for its exceptional difficulty.
Known as the theme song for the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul, many people may have discovered it through Ado’s cover as well.
The most challenging aspects are, above all, the vocal range and expressive breadth.
The range is extraordinarily wide, from mid2 A# to hihi A#, with repeated hi G notes in the chorus.
On top of that, the song demands a wide variety of vocal techniques, including phrases close to screaming and trembling lines that make heavy use of whisper voice.
Its level of difficulty is among the highest even within Japanese rock.
RE RESCUEREOL
Reol is a female singer who’s constantly dropping hit tunes and making a huge impact on Japan’s dance music scene.
She has many popular tracks, but the one I especially recommend is RE RESCUE.
The real challenge in this song is the chorus.
Near the end of the chorus, there’s a section where you repeatedly switch between chest voice and falsetto.
It’s not just about using falsetto—you also need to maintain volume and deliver a slightly shout-like tone within it, which makes the difficulty quite high.
Definitely give it a try.
guidelinesUru
This is Uru’s fifth digital-only single, released in May 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Kazama Kojin – Kyojo 0.” Over a beautifully symphonic backing track, Uru’s emotionally rich vocals can be fully appreciated.
From the quiet singing at the beginning—where even breath noise seems to be used as part of the vocal expression—to the soaring vocals in the chorus, it’s a very challenging song to perform at karaoke.
Precisely because of that, if you can sing it brilliantly, you’ll be sure to become the center of attention.
Listen closely to Uru’s subtle breathing and give it a try.
LOVE NEVER DIESMISIA
Released in May 2025, this track has that cool, signature MISIA sound.
It’s a song I personally want to learn, too.
With a brass band used in the backing, it really pumps you up and gets your body moving! I think everyone admires MISIA’s vocal ability, but the key point is that she’s not just belting out powerful notes—she’s resonating through her body like an instrument.
This point is important for any vocal technique, but MISIA is especially known for her very wide vocal range, right? Being able to do that connects directly to this resonance and the way she uses her breath.
DIGNITYAdo
This is Ado’s 19th digital-only single, released in September 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film The Silent Service, which premiered in September 2023.
By the way, the songwriting was handled by B’z members Inaba and Matsumoto.
If you want to recreate this song in karaoke, the most important point is how well you can reproduce Ado’s own dynamic vocal style.
Even in the quieter sections, keep your voice steady and confident; and in the high notes like the chorus, be careful not to tighten your throat and produce a thin, constricted tone.
rock starAdo
Ado, who rose to prominence in her teens as a masked singer who never shows her bare face, has been taking the scene by storm with unstoppable momentum since her major-label debut in 2020.
Her unforgettable voice is supported by overwhelming power and a wide expressive range; both her forceful shouts and her falsetto carry a distinctive allure.
In April 2025, she released a track that clearly reflects the influence of Ringo Sheena, whom she has said she respects.
Featured on her first best-of album, “Ado no Best Album,” the song “Rockstar” fully showcases Ado’s aggressive side, built around a hard rock sound befitting its straightforward title.
While the song’s structure is relatively simple hard rock and the melody line isn’t overly complex, delivering it from Ado’s growling lows to her lustrous, powerful falsetto seems extremely challenging.
If you don’t keep your vocal folds firmly closed and master diaphragmatic breathing before attempting the shouts, you’ll quickly strain your throat—so be careful on that front.
