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 Make You Better at Singing: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke (81–90)
morning starLiSA
This is LiSA’s 20th single, released on November 17, 2021.
It serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc, so many of you may have heard it there.
It’s a very dramatic track—hard, heavy, and symphonically arranged.
Because of that sound image, singing it requires a consistently solid, powerful vocal delivery throughout.
While the strong sonic aesthetic and vocals are striking, the gentle, soft falsetto used very effectively in the high notes of the chorus also showcases LiSA’s excellent expressive ability.
It’s a great song for enhancing your expressiveness!
Final Callmilet
This is Milet’s digital-only single, released in October 2022.
It was selected as the theme song for “Seven Secretaries THE MOVIE.” The track fully showcases milet’s highly dynamic vocals.
While it’s a slightly advanced pick, it’s an excellent practice piece for developing powerful, dynamic vocal expression.
When singing the high notes, firmly engage the muscles around your solar plexus to support your upper body, and try to avoid constricting your throat as much as possible.
You should feel a greater sense of openness in your upper range.
But please be careful not to strain your throat!
A Naked Heartaimyon
This was Aimyon’s 10th major single, released in June 2020.
It also served as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “My Housekeeper Mr.
Nagisa.” Aimyon’s singing never tries to exaggerate her “vocal prowess,” yet on a solid foundation she delivers a plain, unaffected voice and performance that beautifully captures the subdued atmosphere of this ballad.
It’s a song that makes you realize that making a song sound good doesn’t depend solely on vocal technique.
FriendsRebekka
It’s the fourth single by the Japanese band Rebecca, released in October 1985.
It was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV drama “Half Potato na Oretachi” and became a big hit.
With its medium-to-up-tempo beat and exhilarating drive, it’s an easy, fun song to sing at karaoke.
However, to sing it like the original, you’ll need to belt in chest voice, especially for the high notes in the chorus, so it’s an ideal piece for practicing high-tone chest voice.
The dynamics are also easy to grasp in this song, so try studying and practicing with a focus on that aspect.
CAN YOU CELEBRATE?Amuro Namie
This is Namie Amuro’s ninth single as a solo artist, released on February 19, 1997.
It served as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Virgin Road” and as the image song for the Hitachi Maxell “Platinum & Gold MD” commercial in which she appeared—a double tie-in.
Even as of 2022, when this article is being written, it remains a classic and hugely successful song often played at weddings.
The vocal melody—crafted by Tetsuya Komuro, often called a genius at producing hits—is highly memorable, making it an ideal piece for women to use as a practice song.
Since it’s a gentle ballad, be mindful during practice to produce soft, relaxed high notes in the chorus without tightening your throat.
The Kouga Ninja ScrollsOnmyoza
The 10th single by the Japanese metal-influenced rock band Onmyo-za, released in April 2005.
The most important requirement for singing this song is a high, ringing tone that doesn’t clamp the throat.
If you’re confident in your high range or want to train it, definitely give this track a try.
Many of my vocal training students choose it as practice material.
If you belt the high notes in full chest voice, you risk losing clarity and straining your throat, so being able to use a metallic, breath-efficient mixed voice will likely determine whether you can sing it well.
Engage your core to support your upper body, keep the throat relaxed and open, and aim for a free, effortless high register.

Can I visit you with cream?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
For those who think, “I don’t just want to sing chest-voice mid–low songs; I want to sing falsetto-style songs too,” this track might be perfect.
The overall range is A#3–F#5, and while the bridge has some high notes, if you’re good with falsetto, you’ll find those parts feel great to sing! It’s not a song where you belt throughout, so keep your body relaxed and aim to resonate in your head, singing gently.
Also, since there’s a lot of falsetto, it’s important to clearly decide where to breathe and how to space those breaths.
Being mindful of breathing will also enhance your expressiveness and make the performance much better as a song! In the slightly fast-paced parts of the chorus, rather than enunciating each word sharply, lock into the rhythm.
When practicing, try fitting it to the rhythm first using syllables like “ta-ka-ta-ka-tan-ta.” Then, when you switch to the actual lyrics, sing so that the accents fall in the same places.
