[For Women] Sing Difficult Songs at Karaoke and Grab the Spotlight! (91–100)
sympathetic tearsHitoto Yo
It’s Yo Hitoto’s debut single, released in October 2022.
The vocal melody spans a very wide range, so to sing it you’ll not only need to have mastered smooth transitions between chest voice and falsetto, but also be able to incorporate so-called “kobushi”-style ornamentation in the long sustained notes.
It’s safe to say this makes it quite a difficult song to handle in karaoke.
Precisely because it’s so challenging, if you can pull it off, you’re sure to attract attention from those around you.
It’s a track I highly recommend to anyone confident in their singing—give it a try!
If you call it loveUru
Uru’s singing voice is known for its great delicacy and airy whisper tone.
This singing style is difficult for those who aren’t used to it; if you try to imitate it right away, you may run out of breath, your voice may become unstable, or you might even feel lightheaded, so a solid foundation in diaphragmatic breathing is essential! Also, instead of singing the A and B sections loudly, try delivering them as if you’re speaking to someone—you’ll evoke a vibe closer to Uru’s.
It’s fun when you can sing quietly without your voice getting hoarse, and it also broadens the range of songs you can perform!
About meSuperfly
When you think of Superfly, don’t they come to mind as a representative artist for high-pitched songs? I’ve heard this cover—Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto” performed in the original key—has been getting a lot of attention.
With Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, you feel the poignancy and fragility, while with Superfly, you sense a forward-looking, straightforward strength—that’s the fun of cover songs.
In the chorus, the expansive high note up to D5 and the falsetto at G5 are incredibly satisfying to hear, so I’d love for you to master them.
“Sing with your face”: lift your facial muscles and eyebrows firmly and let your voice out without hesitation.
filamentUru
This song, which features a piano accompaniment, matches beautifully with Uru’s heartrending vocals.
From the second verse, the band comes in, changing the atmosphere and intensifying the emotions, giving a heart-stirring impression.
Even though it’s the same chorus, the number of instruments in the backing changes between the first and second verses, so the level of excitement is completely different! The key point when singing this part is dynamics.
Try holding back your emotions in the first verse and then fully releasing them in the second, singing freely and comfortably in your sweet spot.
Uru also switches between head voice and chest voice, so be sure to listen closely for that!
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.
