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.
[For Women] Sing challenging songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (51–60)
a hair’s breadthUru
This is Uru’s fifth digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the anime “Hell’s Paradise.” It’s a very beautiful ballad, but Uru’s vocal expressiveness in this track is truly astonishing.
From whisper-like tones to powerful high notes, her singing feels wonderfully shape-shifting.
It’s not an easy song to tackle at karaoke, but I highly recommend it to those confident in their singing.
Be sure to study the original thoroughly before you sing—pay attention to how the vocal tone shifts across sections, as well as the pronunciation and expressive nuances of the lyrics.
ChocolakatabraAdo
Ado, a singer who enjoys overwhelming support from young people, is known for her outstanding vocal ability.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “Chocolacatabra.” The toughest part of this track is definitely the chorus.
On top of a sudden key change from the pre-chorus, the sharply rising and falling melodies make it one of the most challenging pieces to sing.
In particular, mastering the falsetto sections in the chorus will likely require a great deal of practice.
Be sure to check it out.
LetterUru
Uru’s “Tegami” will be released as a digital single on August 13, 2025, and it was written as the theme song for the film “Yukikaze,” which opens on August 15.
It’s a song that highlights Uru’s signature delicate and beautiful falsetto, and when singing it, the key points are to pay attention to your breath control and the balance between low and high notes.
The opening A section and the part after the final chorus drop to around C3, so be careful not to let your pitch fall.
If you sing using your throat, you’ll carry that throatiness into the higher notes, so aim to produce sound from the vocal folds throughout.
Raise your eyebrows firmly, and try to place your voice gently in front of you to produce the low notes.
Also, since the chorus suddenly goes high, imagine resonating in your head and send the voice straight upward; this will make it easier to produce the falsetto.
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!
My sincere heartAina ji Endo
After making her mark as a member of BiSH, Aina The End has been thriving as a solo artist as well.
Many people admire her unique vocal technique that makes full use of her husky voice.
Among her works, the one I particularly recommend is “Watashi no Magokoro” (“My Sincere Heart”).
This piece features a triplet feel reminiscent of soul music, a rhythm said to be quite difficult for many Japanese singers.
On top of that, it includes shouts and ad-libs, making it quite challenging for those who mainly sing Japanese pop.
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.
