[For Women] Sing Difficult Songs at Karaoke and Steal the Spotlight! (101–110)
loveUru
The third digital single “Koi,” released ahead of the third album Contrast, is a song provided by Yohei Hashiguchi of wacci.
Its lyrics, which portray the resolve to look forward even while feeling the pain of heartbreak, are particularly striking.
The bouncy shuffle beat and intricate melody are challenging, but since the tempo is relaxed, take your time confirming the pitches as you sing.
With a sentimental yet pop-tinged ensemble that feels pleasant, it’s a recommended number to add to your karaoke repertoire.
Living My Lifemilet
This is milet’s 10th digital-only single, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the Monday 10 PM drama “The Job-Changing Devil.” The slightly languid vibe makes it a very pleasant listen.
As for milet’s vocals here, I was impressed by how she maintains a solid sense of groove even within that languid feel, and by her deft switch in vocal production when singing the highly leaping phrases near the end of the B section.
If you can fully recreate this in karaoke, you’ll definitely draw attention.
First, make sure you clearly understand where the rests fall in the song; mastering how to use them is the key to making it sound really good.
Shooting starieiri reo
It’s Leo Ieiri’s ninth digital-only single, released in August 2023.
It’s an upbeat and exhilarating track, isn’t it? The powerful vocals she delivers in this song are truly worthy of praise.
The most important thing when singing this piece is, above all, to keep that powerful energy going throughout.
There’s a section that’s sung very fast starting around the end of the first chorus, so even in parts like that, be sure to articulate each word clearly so they don’t get jumbled.
ALL MY TRUE LOVESPEED
This is SPEED’s eighth single overall, released in October 1998.
It was chosen as the theme song for TBS’s broadcast of the 1998 Volleyball World Championship.
What’s crucial for singing this track, I believe, is delivering clear, soaring high notes.
That makes it very straightforward for anyone and a great song to showcase your vocal ability.
If you’re confident in your high range, definitely give it a try! When you sing, try to place the sound so it resonates toward the center of your upper palate inside your mouth.
Doing so should produce a voice rich in higher overtones, similar to the original recording, so please give it a go.
TipTapShimizu Miisa
Misa Shimizu is a female singer who’s active not only in the music scene but also on variety shows, thanks to her bright personality and strong vocal skills.
Influenced by Western music, she consistently showcases techniques that rival those of overseas artists.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is TipTap.
Because it’s a jazzy track, it doesn’t lean on obvious challenges like high notes; instead, it demands more advanced techniques such as groove and vocal improvisation (feats/“fakes”).

Akatsuki SakuraGARNiDELiA
This is GARNiDELiA’s 18th digital single, released in October 2023.
It was produced as the 7th-anniversary song for the mobile game Onmyoji.
It’s a cool, upbeat track with a distinctly Eurobeat-inspired arrangement.
In the song, vocalist MARiA delivers a performance that maintains strength without ever sounding timid, while clearly expressing dynamics between phrases and sections.
Including its melodic development, it’s a highly challenging song to sing, which makes it an ideal choice when you want to draw attention from those around you.
LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu
This is a digital single by Mayu Maeshima, released in January 2024.
It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime ‘Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord.’ With its very powerful high-tone vocals and slightly idiosyncratic phrasing and vocal nuances, it’s a difficult song with several hurdles to clear if you want to sing it well.
Precisely for that reason, it’s a track I’d love confident singers to take on.
Not only does it require consistently powerful vocal delivery, but the rhythm and groove of the so-called digi-rock backing track are also crucial points for performing it.
Be sure to study those aspects thoroughly before you give it a try.
