[For Women] Sing difficult songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (41–50)
Zankyo SankaAimer
This is Aimer’s 20th single, released in January 2022.
It was issued as a double A-side with the coupling track “Asa ga Kuru.” It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc.
With its wide vocal range and fast-paced, rapid-fire delivery, this is a song that demands high-level vocal technique and expressive power.
Precisely because of that, if you can pull it off, you’ll undoubtedly steal the spotlight around you! From a producer’s perspective, I personally think the most crucial point is to consciously reproduce the rest right before the final word of the chorus.
Be sure to really let that moment “breathe,” and sing it with a strong sense of that deliberate pause.
LOVE NEVER DIESMISIA
Released in May 2025, this track has that cool, signature MISIA sound.
It’s a song I personally want to learn, too.
With a brass band used in the backing, it really pumps you up and gets your body moving! I think everyone admires MISIA’s vocal ability, but the key point is that she’s not just belting out powerful notes—she’s resonating through her body like an instrument.
This point is important for any vocal technique, but MISIA is especially known for her very wide vocal range, right? Being able to do that connects directly to this resonance and the way she uses her breath.
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.
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!
moonlightOnitsuka Chihiro
This was Chihiro Onitsuka’s second single, released in August 2000.
It was used as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “TRICK.” Thanks in part to the drama’s success, the song climbed from its Oricon weekly chart debut at No.
30 up to No.
11, and it stayed on the charts for nearly ten months as a long-running hit.
Over a simple backing track centered on piano and strings, Onitsuka’s emotionally rich vocals stand out, and singing it as she does is quite challenging.
Practice to avoid constricting your throat on the high notes and to switch smoothly between vocal registers.
In karaoke, applying a relatively deep echo to your voice can also be important for achieving a pleasing sound, so be sure to give it a try.
Biscuitchanmina
Chanmina is a female rapper who has earned strong support from many women, armed with outstanding musicality and fashion.
Among her many hit tunes, the one I especially recommend is Biscuit.
While the overall vibe of this track is on the downbeat side, there’s a section in the C melody where she delivers a mix voice with powerful shouts.
Anyone can match the pitch, but producing a mix voice with that level of impact is extremely challenging—so give it a try!
tuki.bansanka
A much-talked-about 15-year-old, a third-year junior high school female singer, tuki., released this song in December 2023.
I must admit my own ignorance; I listened to tuki.’s voice for the first time while writing this piece, and I was astonished by how mature and exceptional her vocals and singing are—hard to believe she’s a 15-year-old middle schooler! When you sing this song at karaoke, try to maintain a gentle, soothing tone throughout, while clearly expressing contrasts in dynamics within that warmth.
Even in the more powerful sections, be careful not to let your delivery become rough or coarse.
