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 a Better Singer: Practice Tracks for Improving at Karaoke (121–130)
LIES GOES ONMay’n
Not only as a singer, but also as a voice actor and musical theater actress, May’n has been remarkably active.
The song featured here, “LIES GOES ON,” was released in August 2023 as her 21st single.
Even in this up-tempo track, you can fully enjoy her powerful and beautifully resonant high-tone voice.
Simply analyzing how she switches between various high registers throughout different sections of the song offers plenty to learn, making it a track I especially recommend that aspiring female singers give a listen to at least once.
guidelinesUru
This is Uru’s fifth digital-only single, released in May 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Kazama Kimichika: Kyōjō 0.” Built on a symphonic backing track, it’s a beautiful ballad that lets you fully savor Uru’s very gentle yet powerful high-toned vocals.
Reproducing Uru’s singing in this track at karaoke is quite challenging for most people; it takes more than just being good at high notes.
Still, if you’re confident in your singing, it’s definitely a song worth attempting! Listen closely to the original for reference, and aim for a performance that is both strong and soft, maintaining clean, controlled tone even in the high passages.
Anytime Anywheremilet
A digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
This medium-tempo song makes extensive use of long tones in the vocal melody, and especially in the sections sung in falsetto—such as the chorus—you can enjoy milet’s highly captivating vibrato.
It’s one of the best tracks to use as a reference for vibrato on long falsetto notes, so be sure to listen closely to the original and try singing it yourself.
A flower blooming amid the rubbleNanjō Yoshino
Yoshino Nanjo is active across a wide range of fields: voice actor, actress, singer, and vocalist in a music unit.
The song we’re introducing here, “A Flower Blooming in the Rubble,” was produced as the ending theme for the PC game Grisaia: Chronos Rebellion, and as expected from a professional who works with “the voice,” she delivers an irresistibly appealing and consistently steady vocal performance throughout the entire track.
That stable tone and precise pitch are truly noteworthy.

Starry NightYuka
This is Yuka’s sixth digital single, released in February 2023.
Although Yuka’s natural speaking voice is somewhat low, in Hoshizukiyo she skillfully uses mixed voice—especially in the high notes of the chorus—to beautifully convey the atmosphere of this tender ballad.
With a typical falsetto, you’d use head voice that resonates clearly in the nasal cavity, but for mixed voice, you can keep the falsetto mechanism and practice singing by aiming the resonance as broadly as possible toward the entire soft palate at the back of your mouth.
You’ll surely be able to produce soft yet clear high notes like Yuka!
Gentle RedFukuhara Miho
This is Miho Fukuhara’s third CD single overall, released in November 2008.
It was used as the song for an au “LISMO” commercial.
Fukuhara, whose appeal as a female singer includes her slightly fuller tone, uses a highly effective mixed voice in this track—especially in the high notes of the chorus—giving the song a certain gentleness and softness.
When singing those sections, try to place your voice as softly as possible against the upper palate to produce a smooth, soft mixed voice.
I think the key to making this song sound really good lies in how smoothly you can transition between chest voice and mix, and how much contrast you can create with high notes in chest voice.
Heart to You ~Before the Night Ends~ANNA
This is a song by ANNA, who debuted from Toshiki Kadomatsu’s vocalist discovery project “Vocaland,” released on June 12, 1996.
The project began during the so-called J-POP bubble of the ’90s as Kadomatsu’s antithesis to the prevailing trend where only karaoke-friendly songs were becoming hits.
Known for his notoriously strict direction toward singers, Kadomatsu produced both the works and the artists involved.
As a result, ANNA’s vocals on this track feature many noteworthy qualities, and there’s a lot to gain from practicing this song.
Although the vocal melody is quite challenging, start by practicing to sing it with the most accurate pitch possible!
