[For Women] Sing challenging songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (21–30)
terminusmafumafu
Mafumafu is famous for his high-tone voice, but of course there are also songs where a masculine low register resonates.
The overall vocal range of the song is A#2 to A#5, covering pitches that aren’t often used either at the bottom or the top.
There are big jumps, and you might wonder how on earth to hit A#5, but above all, make sure not to strain your throat starting from the low notes.
Be sure to consciously lift your facial muscles as a matter of course! Start by using your breath gently, very gently.
You might feel short of breath, but try getting used to the song by using breathy “whisper voice” or consonants in the H-line (ha-hi-fu-he-ho).
BibbidebaHoshimachi Suisei
Popular VTuber Suisei Hoshimachi.
In addition to her livestreams and YouTube activities, she’s also a highly successful vocalist.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “VIVID BAD SQUAD” (Bibideba).
It’s currently one of her biggest hits.
While the track is catchy, it’s also quite challenging.
The sudden pitch jumps in the chorus make it hard to sing steadily, even for those confident in their vocal skills.
Be sure to check it out.
TAIDADAzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The band Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni, with their catchy musical style, enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Their songs also go over well at karaoke, so many women probably have some of their tracks in their repertoire.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is TAIDADA.
In the latter part of the chorus, there’s a section where you repeatedly switch between mixed voice and chest voice.
Repeating mixed voice and chest voice is far more challenging than switching between falsetto and chest voice, so women who are confident in their pitch control and vocal strength should definitely give it a try.
Utakata LullabyAdo
It’s one of the insert songs from the movie ONE PIECE FILM RED and the only rap track! When I first heard “Utakata Lullaby,” I was shocked, like, “Can a human even sing this?” But thinking back, since the song was provided by FAKE TYPE., it all made sense—“So that’s why it’s so rap-heavy!” The songs from ONE PIECE FILM RED are hugely popular, and I’ve done vocal training lessons on them many times! Especially with “Utakata Lullaby,” we went over the lyrics again and again, discussing with students, “This part isn’t sung; this part is.” There’s a lot of super fast rap, and if you listen closely, there are sections where there are lyrics but they aren’t actually sung.
Noticing that helps you lock into the rhythm, making it easier and more fun to sing.
If you gave up because you couldn’t sing it before, give it another try!
Become a flowerRyokushokushakai
This is the eighth CD single by the Japanese pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, released in December 2023.
It was written as the opening theme for the Nippon TV anime The Apothecary Diaries, and the song’s theme is said to be “a flower blooming in the shade.” Haruko Nagaya, who serves as the band’s vocalist, is a singer known for her bright, powerful high-tone voice with great projection, and her vocal appeal shines through even in this fast-paced, thrilling track.
If you can pull this song off beautifully, you’re sure to become the center of attention! The key points for delivering a strong performance are how crisply you can sing with sharp rhythm and how well you can produce a soaring, powerful high tone.
If you’re confident in your singing, definitely give it a try.
Just be careful not to get thrown off where the rhythm shifts slightly at the end of the chorus.
UNDEADYOASOBI
YOASOBI is a music duo that enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
If you’re a woman, chances are you’ve got at least one YOASOBI song in your karaoke repertoire, right? Among their many popular tracks, the one I especially recommend is UNDEAD.
It features hallmark YOASOBI traits: a fast-paced song structure and a vocal line that interweaves chest voice and falsetto.
It doesn’t demand much in terms of techniques like vibrato or shouting, but the pitch control is extremely challenging—so definitely give it a try.
Episode XAdo
Ado’s new song “Episode X.” When it comes to Ado’s vocals, her wide range of expression—from raw, emotion-driven singing to delicate delivery—always stands out.
This track truly brings together Ado’s diverse vocal expressions.
The A section has a somewhat calm feel, but the chorus is extremely intense, filled with shouts.
With techniques like shouts, ad-libs, and whisper voice all packed in, women confident in their vocal skills should definitely give it a try.
