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!
No.5LANA
Singer-songwriter LANA, a driving force in Japan’s R&B scene.
She’s also the sister of rapper LEX, and together the siblings have had a major impact on Japan’s Black music landscape.
Among LANA’s songs, the one I especially recommend is her new track, “No.5.” It’s not flashy, but because it’s rooted in R&B, you’ll hear advanced vocal techniques like ad-libs and falls woven into the details.
For many Japanese singers, whose vocals can tend to sound monotone, this might be one of the most challenging types of songs.
RISENEMOPHILA
NEMOPHILA is a young heavy metal girls’ band formed in 2019.
While many girls’ bands put a strong emphasis on idol elements, they’ve steadily gained support with authentic heavy metal.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is RISE.
This track combines hard rock with rap metal, featuring a highly challenging vocal line and a rap section that uses death growls.
It’s quite a difficult piece for women to perform, so be sure to check it out.
Imo-rai Imotuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki., who is especially popular among teens and people in their twenties.
Many women have likely fallen for tuki.’s charm, with her catchy lyrics and the way she effortlessly sings highly challenging vocal lines.
Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is her new track, “Aimo Raimo.” It’s arranged as a ballad, and it’s a demanding piece—especially the falsetto at the start of the chorus and the short, standalone ad-libs that appear throughout every section.

IYKYKXG
XG, rumored to be the most skilled Japanese girl group right now.
If you’re a woman who likes K-pop, you’ve probably heard of them.
Their hit track “IYKYK” features exceptionally demanding vocal lines and rap parts that are rare in Japan’s girl-group scene.
The difficulty is on par with K-pop, with every section incorporating Black music-style expressions such as ad-libs, falls, and other embellishments.
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.
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.
