[For Women] Sing difficult songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (31–40)
Your wish makes the world shine.MISIA
This is MISIA’s 52nd digital-only single, released in September 2022.
It was selected as the Japanese theme song for Tokyo DisneySea’s “Believe! Sea of Dreams.” From her debut in 1998, MISIA has been renowned for her exceptional vocal ability and expressive singing, and that voice is as impressive as ever in this track nearly a quarter-century later—if anything, it has become even more refined.
From gentle, whisper-like tones to powerful high notes, the song lets you fully enjoy the breadth of her vocals.
To sing this well, you not only need a variety of vocal techniques and solid vocal production, but also a deep understanding of the song as a whole and in its details—otherwise it’s quite challenging.
Precisely because it’s such a demanding piece, I highly encourage confident singers to give it a try!
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?
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.
HEART BEATYOASOBI
This is YOASOBI’s 22nd digital-only single, released in December 2023.
Since their songs are produced by Ayase, who is also a Vocaloid producer, many of the vocal melodies are notoriously difficult for human singers, and this track is no exception—there are plenty of challenging spots, especially in the chorus.
The most important thing for singing this song, above all, is “pre-studying” the track.
Pay close attention to how rests are handled throughout—where to hold notes and where to cut them—and sing accordingly.
Also, aim for a clear tone.
If you try directing your voice to resonate against the upper palate inside your mouth, you can achieve a pleasant, overtone-rich sound similar to vocalist ikura’s.
Give it a try!
Anytime Anywheremilet
This is a digital-only single by singer-songwriter milet, released in September 2023.
It’s crafted as a dramatic, medium-to-slow tempo piece characterized by a grand arrangement.
When performing this song, the most important elements are smooth transitions between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto, along with optimal singing technique for each register.
Also, how you feel and place rhythmic accents against the backing track is crucial.
Make sure to really feel the beat as you sing! If possible, pay close attention to the English pronunciation in the parts where English lyrics are used.

unravelAdo
Ado is a female singer whose exceptional vocal ability has earned her high acclaim within the industry.
All of her songs are quite challenging, but the one I especially recommend is Unravel.
This work is a cover of a song by TK from Ling tosite sigure, and like the original, it features extremely advanced high notes.
It’s not just about hitting high pitches; you also need to deliver them with a scream-like tone, which demands a strong foundation in vocal technique.
If you’re confident in your singing ability and expressiveness, definitely give it a try.
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!
