[For Women] Sing difficult songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (31–40)
To whom it may concern in the Emotional DepartmentREOL
Reol is a female singer who has gained popularity for her sharp musical style that mixes rock and electronic music.
She’s also known for her powerful vocals and many technically challenging songs.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “To Whom It May Concern: Emotions” (Kanjō Onchū).
This piece features the crisp, punchy tempo she excels at, with frequent sudden shifts in pitch.
It’s a basic technique, but if you don’t articulate the opening of each phrase clearly, it can end up sounding limp, so mindful attention to fundamentals is essential.
Give it a try!
Fu re te Fu re ruTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
The B-side to “unravel,” which could be called one of TK’s signature songs, is actually “Fu re te Fu re ru.” It features even higher notes and more head voice/falsetto than “unravel,” and it’s a song I absolutely love to sing at karaoke.
Rather than a clean falsetto, TK’s head voice pierces through like a cry or a scream, so unless you can naturally hit high notes, it’s pretty tough to pull off… That said, it’s a super cool track, so if you think of it as a way to practice your falsetto, I recommend it to rock lovers! Starting with a weak falsetto is totally fine.
Just keep practicing using your breath over and over, and gradually build up your explosiveness—that’s the idea!
to clear up (weather)Yorushika
This is Yorushika’s 17th digital-only single, released in January 2024.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, broadcast on the Nippon TV network.
The most important key to singing this song well is how effectively you can express dynamics between the chorus and the other sections.
To put it very simply: aim for a firm, powerful delivery with strong projection in the chorus, and in the non-chorus sections, keep the tone soft yet never weak.
In practice, this kind of vocal expression is quite challenging, but if you pull it off, you’re sure to earn praise from those around you.
In the final a cappella part, sing even more attentively and dynamically, okay?
monotoneYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s masterpiece “Monotone.” When it comes to YOASOBI, they’re known for lots of high-range parts, with vocal lines that repeatedly switch between chest voice and falsetto—very distinctive, right? This piece, however, differs from that impression; in a word, it feels like a song with an extremely wide vocal range.
The low notes in particular are astonishingly low—most women with an average voice type simply can’t produce them.
The chorus does bring in solid high parts as well, making it a high-difficulty song that really depends on the singer’s vocal quality.
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.

ObsoletemeatSatsuki
Satsuki, a Vocaloid producer who commands overwhelming authority in the high-register realm.
Active since 2019, Satsuki is especially well known for Mezmerizer, which is still fresh in many people’s minds.
I bet plenty of you have tried tackling it at karaoke, right? Their new track is Obsolmeat.
As with their previous works, this piece is arranged to spotlight the high range.
Beyond the extreme pitch, it’s a tough song that demands stamina, since the high parts run from start to finish.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
This is Superfly’s fourth single overall, released in February 2008.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “The Mother of Edison.” Shiho Ochi, the vocalist known for her consistently acclaimed vocal ability, showcases her powerful voice and wide range to the fullest in this signature Superfly track.
If you can sing it as powerfully and dynamically as she does, you’ll undoubtedly be the center of attention at karaoke! Just be careful not to strain your throat on the high notes—if you clamp down, you won’t achieve her expansive, powerful sound and you may end up hurting your voice.
Please take good care.
