Songs to Help Women Sing Better: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke
Conditions for becoming a better singer.
Of course, acquiring correct and efficient vocal production is the most important point, but if you can’t apply the fundamentals you’ve learned to actual songs, it won’t amount to much.
To build that kind of “real-world ability,” it’s crucial to choose appropriate practice songs and, by singing them, develop the expressive skills needed to perform actual pieces.
In this article, I’ve selected songs that seem optimal for the goal of “getting better at singing.”
Even when someone says, “I want to become a better singer,” everyone’s current level varies, so I’ve chosen a wide range—from beginner-friendly songs to more difficult ones.
Some of the individual song introduction articles also include brief tips on how to sing them, so please use those as references and do your best to further improve your skills with the help of this article.
That said, the most important thing is to pick songs you love—the ones that make you think, “I want to sing this!” or “I want to be able to sing this!”—and enjoy singing them.

[For Women] Songs That Help You Sing Better: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke (71–80)
Lingering Snowiruka
The original song is a track by Kaguyahime, with lyrics and music by Shozo Ise.
The version I’m introducing here is the cover by the female singer Iruka, which became a big hit and was released in November 1975.
I imagine more people recognize it as Iruka’s song (lol).
It’s categorized as a “Showa-era folk song,” and many songs from that period have very simple, easy-to-understand melodies, chord progressions, and lyric placement relative to the melody, making them ideal as practice material for singing.
Try practicing with care so that you can maintain solid vocal support while keeping a soft delivery throughout.
Also, make sure the chorus doesn’t get heavy.
Let It GoMatsu Takako
It’s the Japanese version of the theme song from Disney’s 2003 animated mega-hit Frozen, which hardly needs any introduction.
The vocalist is Takako Matsu, who’s also active as an actress.
Her powerful high notes in this song are incredibly strong, making it an ideal practice piece for improving your singing.
To sing this well, you’ll need to master a powerful chest voice and head voice—skills that are essential for good singing—so I highly recommend working on them and making this song your own.
It might also help to refer to the original English version of the song!
Refrain of SoulsTakahashi Yoko
This is Yoko Takahashi’s 14th single, released in February 1997.
It might be more familiar if I say it’s the theme song for the anime film “Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth.” It’s a song with a very comfortable medium up-tempo rhythm.
While many recent straightforward songs are sung using a variety of vocal techniques, this one really calls for being sung out fully in chest voice.
The range used in the chorus isn’t superhumanly high, so it should be useful as practice material for strengthening your high chest tones.
Aim for a soft vocal tone in the A and B sections, then switch to a powerful, resonant delivery in the chorus.
Be especially careful that the high notes in the chorus don’t turn into a throaty sound!
Love SongUru
This is Uru’s 11th single, released on August 25, 2021.
It was also selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Oshi no Ojisama.” It’s a beautifully crafted ballad with female vocals, produced in a way that fully conveys Uru’s exceptional vocal expressiveness to the listener.
What I personally want to highlight most in this performance is the soft vocal delivery in the A-melody, where she masterfully switches at a very high level between whisper voice and chest voice.
Even the pronunciations of the voiced consonants that appear in the lyrics are sung so they sound impressively soft and clean.
And of course, the powerful yet gentle high notes—so characteristic of Uru—heard in parts of the chorus are superb as well! When you practice this song, try to train yourself to replicate details like these.
My WishAI
This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.
The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.
Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.
You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.
You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.
It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.
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, beautiful falsetto.
When singing it, pay attention to your breathing and the balance between low and high notes.
The beginning A melody and the section after the final chorus drop to around a low C3, so be careful not to let your pitch fall.
If you sing using your throat, you’ll carry that throaty sound into the higher notes, so aim to produce your voice from the vocal folds throughout.
Raise your eyebrows firmly and try placing the sound slowly in front of you to produce the low notes.
Also, since the chorus jumps up suddenly to higher notes, imagine resonating in your head and send your voice straight upward—this will make falsetto come out more easily!
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
“Nando Demo” is popular across all generations.
I used to sing it a lot too, and it seems many people are familiar with the chorus, so it always got the crowd going.
It’s definitely a song worth knowing! The tricky part of this song is the breathing during the chorus.
Where the same phrase repeats, you can run out of breath and it gets tough.
Proper diaphragmatic breathing is important, but rather than belting each phrase with full power, try to focus on connecting the lines as you sing.
When you shift your mindset, your body will adjust so your breath lasts through the phrase.
Also, the last chorus is the most demanding; singing it with a powerful voice is more for advanced singers.
Don’t push yourself—start by singing it lightly, and you’ll get used to it little by little.
It’s also a great song for strengthening your chest voice, so give it a try in practice!
