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.

Until I know loveaimyon
This is Aimyon’s 11th major single, released digitally in advance on May 7, 2021, and on CD on May 26 of the same month.
Built around a very approachable vocal melody and set at an easy-to-sing mid-tempo, it’s one of those songs that’s easy to pick for karaoke.
While it has that kind of accessibility, there’s also a lot to note in Aimyon’s vocal expression here—her powerful singing in the chorus, in particular, is remarkable.
It’s an ideal piece to use as practice material if you’re looking to improve your vocal expression, so definitely give it a try! I especially recommend it to women aiming to be pop/rock-style singers.
HikariIkuta Rira
Rira Ikuta, who is also active as the vocalist “Ikura” of the buzzworthy vocal duo YOASOBI, released this song digitally in December 2020, written and composed by herself.
It’s a gentle ballad, but the high tones showcased in the chorus are truly impressive, and it may be one of the best practice pieces for women aiming to master mixed voice and falsetto.
There’s a lot to learn from her singing and vocal production, which never loses its shine at any point in the song.
If you play the piano, it might be great to try singing it as a piano-vocal performance rather than just karaoke.
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!
I want to protect youJUJU
Speaking of JUJU, she’s widely known as a powerful singer with striking high vocals, like in “Yasashisa de Afureru you ni.” This song also features beautifully soaring high notes in the chorus and is full of highlights.
The vocal range required is wide, making it quite challenging, so if you can pull it off, you’ll definitely look cool.
Once you master it, it’s sure to become a killer tune that fires up the crowd.
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.
