[For Women] Sing difficult songs at karaoke and steal the spotlight! (41–50)
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
It’s LiSA’s 15th single, released in July 2019.
It serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
With its up-tempo, driving feel and a chorus built around high notes, it’s a song that, in a sense, clearly showcases the “difficulty of singing.” For that reason, it’s also one of the best choices if you want to draw attention at karaoke.
As you sing, be sure to pay close attention to shaping vocal dynamics throughout the song, using falsetto effectively, and switching smoothly between registers.

I want to tell you how I feel (my love)aimyon
It’s a simple song, but it really shines because of Aimyon’s vocal ability, and it’s one of my favorites too! What I always find charming about Aimyon is the world she creates with her lyrics and the beautifully balanced transition from low to high notes.
In particular, this song has a wide vocal range—the lowest notes are F#3 in the verse and right before the chorus, and the highest is E5 in the chorus—so the jumps are big, and you’ll want to be careful not to let your pitch drop when singing.
The rhythm and breathing spots are also quite challenging, but once you can sing it, it feels amazing! I recommend singing it with lots of energy!
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.
Six Trillion Years and an Overnight Storykemu
Released in December 2012, this is a classic, notoriously difficult Vocaloid song! It has a Japanese-style flavor; the intro is very relaxed, but the tempo suddenly speeds up and the lyrics are extremely dense.
You’ll need to be mindful of stamina, lung capacity, and explosiveness, but it’s highly recommended for those who love fast songs! The trick to singing the rapid-fire parts is not to try to articulate every single syllable; instead, clearly pronounce the vowel sounds that serve as accents.
Doing so helps you lock into the rhythm and sing more lightly.
With fast-tempo songs, you especially need to memorize the lyrics—otherwise in karaoke you’ll end up just chasing the words and sort of singing without intention.
I recommend first being able to hum the melody, then adding the lyrics afterward.
Charlesbarūn
The Vocaloid song “Charles” has become very popular thanks to covers by many singers and artists—do you all know it? I always sing it in the original key, but it’s quite difficult! The range is C#3 to C#5, so it’s really high, and I find the parts in the chorus where the melody leaps up and down especially challenging.
There’s also a spot near the start of the A section where the melody climbs.
For sections like these, if you visualize the exact pitch you want to hit—like aiming an arrow at a target—your voice will come out more comfortably.
Also, the rhythm in the B section tends to rush, so try to sing each note carefully to keep the timing steady.
Most Vocaloid songs are high, but if you’re confident in your high notes, you might be able to sing “Charles” in the original key—so definitely give it a try!
moon bathingYorushika
This is Yorushika’s 16th single, released in October 2023.
It’s a mid-tempo pop song where you can fully enjoy vocalist suis’s bright tone.
The most important point when singing this piece is how well you can recreate that bright quality in suis’s voice.
In particular, for the upper-mid to high notes in the vocal melody, try to sing as if you’re placing the sound against your upper palate inside your mouth.
Also pay attention to phrasing and dynamics.
Then, toward the end of the song—around 3:35—where the vocals drop into the lower range, make sure to use solid chest voice to clearly express the contrast with the sections that came before.
I am a cat’s eye.Shiina Ringo
This is Ringo Sheena’s 17th single, released in May 2023.
It was apparently produced as a commemorative work for the 25th anniversary of her debut.
Many of Sheena’s songs are known for their intriguingly complex melodic progressions and rhythmic phrasing, and this track is no exception—it’s filled with a highly distinctive and memorable melody.
Precisely because of that, if you can nail it at karaoke and reproduce it accurately, you’re sure to be the center of attention! Be sure to study the song and lyrics thoroughly before giving it a try.
If you sing with the sensation of placing your voice against your upper palate, you’ll likely achieve a vocal tone rich in higher overtones, similar to hers—definitely give that a try as well!
