PLAYERSYOASOBI
This song was created to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, with a theme centered around gaming.
Listening to it, you can really feel that distinctive YOASOBI style.
The chorus sits around E5, so the range is quite high, but there are constant call-and-response shouts in the backing vocals, which makes it nice because you can catch your breath while singing! That chorus is super cute and makes you want to dance, so it seems like it would hype up a live show too! When you sing it, enunciate clearly so the phrases don’t blur together—doing so will make it easier to hear and easier to sing.
Pay attention to your diction!
I miss you so much and want to see you.Nishino Kana
It’s a song that became a massive hit thanks to the strong resonance it found with women, and I think this is the track most people associate with Kana Nishino.
Her charm lies in her overall gentle vocals; she doesn’t belt the high notes but sings them in mixed voice, which lets the message of the lyrics flow in naturally and makes it very pleasant to listen to.
This song conveys the real feelings of a girl in love—maximum heartbreak—and it’s the kind of track that might bring you to tears.
It’s one you’ll want to sing with all your might when you want to pour your feelings out to the person you like.
Can I come see you by cream?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.
Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.
If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.
In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.
Rising HopeLiSA
When you think of LiSA, you think of anime songs! And there’s that image of her songs being full of high notes, right? Among them, “Rising Hope” is one that many people say, “It’s so fast and so high… great to listen to, but tough to sing!” My students struggled with it too.
The high notes are challenging, of course, but the tempo is also really fast at around 190.
With rap sections and lots of intricate parts, you’ll want to make sure you don’t get left behind while singing.
Also, in the chorus, if you slightly extend the ends of the phrases and articulate the vowels clearly, it adds to the vibe and sounds cool! There are tons of high notes, but try to keep the resonance forward in your head so the pitch doesn’t drop.
Watch me!YOASOBI
It’s such a cheerful, bright song and ikura’s voice is super cute! It’s fun to listen to, but since the range is G3–F5, it’s really tough to sing.
While some parts have very clear, easy-to-follow rhythm, there are also Vocaloid-like melodic lines that are very YOASOBI.
Especially in the A section and the chorus, which sit in a higher register, you’ll want to make the attack of the opening words crisp and clear.
Try singing with a little squeeze in your glutes so your voice doesn’t wobble.
The B section has fast melodies, so I recommend memorizing the lyrics before singing.
It’s a cute song, so it’s important not to go expressionless—keep your facial muscles lifted! Sing with a smile so your pitch doesn’t drop!
That’s My BabyRIRI
RIRI is a female singer-songwriter whose musical style evokes Ariana Grande and leaves a strong impression.
Having grown up listening to R&B from a young age, she basically sings her songs in English.
Among her tracks, a particularly challenging one I recommend is “That’s My Baby.” You’ll hear frequent falsetto, R&B essentials like ad-libs and falls, and even mixed voice—advanced vocal techniques appearing throughout the song.

MHamasaki Ayumi
This is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 20th single, released in December 2000.
It was used as the CM song for Tu-Ka Cellular Tokyo/Tokai and as the theme song for the Saturday Night Drama “M: Ai Subeki Hito ga Ite,” co-produced by TV Asahi and Ameba TV.
It’s a very dramatic, medium-tempo track that fully showcases Ayumi Hamasaki’s slightly husky vocal charm.
When singing this at karaoke, the key is to apply clear dynamics to each section and phrase of the song.
If you can reproduce the dynamic contrasts throughout the track as she does, you’re sure to earn admiration from those around you! Of course, pay attention to the high notes in the chorus, but also be careful with the low-register parts like the A melody—make sure your voice doesn’t become mumbled or indistinct.
