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)
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!
Fighting My WayHatsuboshi Gakuen, Giga, Hanami Saki
This is a character song from the game “Gakuen Idolmaster,” known as Gakumasu, and it’s the solo track by Saki Hanami, whom my student called the final boss! I’ve tried singing this song at karaoke myself, but it’s definitely not something you can sing just by casually listening to it! The tempo is fast, and the melody comes at you in rapid succession, so unless you really listen closely and get to the point where you can hum along, it’s pretty tough to handle at karaoke.
In fact, Gakumasu has a lot of songs made by Vocaloid producers, so most of them are said to be quite difficult.
It’s a fun song to listen to on its own, and if you can sing it, it’s super cool and feels great! I recommend humming when you’re learning the song.
Don’t hum by pushing with your throat; try doing it lightly so the resonance hits between your eyebrows!

First love is cryingaimyon
Rather than being a singer who boasts superhuman range or volume, Aimyon’s charm lies in her unadorned voice and songs.
Even so, her solid projection that doesn’t recede in the lower register, her way of feeling the rhythm across different song sections, and her nuanced use of timing in her singing all strongly convey her innate talent.
Because she has a simple, down-to-earth image, you might be tempted to listen casually, but try focusing on how she spaces phrases and how she handles rests.
365 Days’ Paper AirplaneAKB48
A song by the idol group AKB48, released on December 9, 2015.
It was created as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Asa ga Kita.” Incidentally, Sayaka Yamamoto served as the center for this track.
It’s a refreshing, mid-tempo song that’s very easy to sing, making it an ideal piece for practicing accurate melodic tracing.
Try practicing so you can sing with a soft, bright tone throughout the entire song.
The vocal melody itself isn’t particularly difficult, so I think it’s best to focus on expressive delivery during practice!
ZiluAimer
Aimer’s song, released digitally in January 2021, was also chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Mo Dao Zu Shi: The Past.” Aimer has been highly regarded for her vocal ability since her debut, and that strength is fully showcased in this track, resulting in a ballad with richly expressive vocals.
Using this Aimer song—which blends both softness and power—as practice material would be highly beneficial for women looking to improve their singing.
I found her vocal production particularly outstanding.
When you sing it, especially the high notes in the chorus, be careful not to force the high tones.
If I could be honestJUJU
This is JUJU’s 8th single, released in November 2008.
This is definitely a selection for advanced singers.
It starts with a soft falsetto high melody right from the intro, and once the rhythm kicks in, it shifts to a powerful, chest-voice-driven delivery.
The most important point when singing this song is smoothly switching between vocal techniques throughout.
Be careful not to let your pitch or stability waver at the transition points.
The groove has a slight swing to it, so also watch out for making it sound flat.
