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 to Improve Your Singing: Practice Tracks for Getting Better at Karaoke (11–20)
DIGNITYAdo
Ado’s 19th digital-only single, released in September 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the film “The Silent Service.” Although it’s a slow-tempo rock ballad with a dramatic progression, Ado delivers it with remarkable dynamism.
Pay attention to the fine details—such as the use of breath noise within the vocals and the differences in vocal production created by dynamic contrast—and practice reproducing them.
You’ll surely gain a lot from it!
ActorIkuta Rira
This song, written and composed by Rira Ikuta, is used as the ending theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.
Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is famous for her clear, translucent voice.
“Actor” features a melody line that isn’t too difficult and a range that isn’t overly high.
It’s easier to memorize and sing compared to other songs! When you listen to it, the verse sits quite low… I recommend opening your throat with a slightly surprised expression and singing as if you’re letting the breath flow.
In the chorus, it might work to sing mostly in head voice/falsetto.
However, since it’s a bright-sounding song, you’ll want to avoid a weak falsetto.
Try to sing with the image of constantly resonating in the head and firmly projecting your breath as voice!
If I Could Paint LifeYOASOBI
A track included on YOASOBI’s album “THE BOOK 2,” which was released on December 1, 2021.
It also serves as the theme song for a stage play of the same name starring Kei Tanaka.
The vocal melody spans a wide range and features a rather distinctive—indeed, complex—melodic line, so as a practice piece it may be better suited for more advanced singers.
Precisely because of that, however, mastering this song will be extremely rewarding.
In the original recording, there seems to be a somewhat strong pitch-correction effect applied, likely for production purposes, and to sing it like the original, the most important thing is to sing with highly accurate pitch.
It’s also crucial to switch smoothly between vocal registers to cover the wide melodic range.
It’s a demanding song, but do your best and give it a try in practice!
HyperNovam-flo loves Maya
m-flo has been active for many years with their sophisticated musicality.
The track that’s currently making waves as a masterpiece created with a next-generation singer is “HyperNova.” Maya, who features on the song, is still in her teens and very young, yet her vocal technique is incredible—she holds her own even compared to Western singers.
The track condenses vocal techniques from Black music, especially R&B, so if you want to elevate your singing from Japan to a world-class level, definitely try practicing with this song.
Discord-discoTomei
Singer-songwriter TOMEI skyrocketed to nationwide fame after performing the theme song for the film Suzume.
While you might associate Suzume with a pure, crystalline vocal style, she actually excels at songs infused with elements of Western music, particularly Black music.
Among her tracks, Discord-disco especially stands out for its Western-influenced melody.
It’s a perfect song for training your fundamental sense of rhythm and groove, so be sure to check it out.
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is the song Yuki Koyanagi debuted with in 1999, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Some of you might have listened to this track on repeat, right? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot tend to stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch! So don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the pitch jumps up quickly from the chorus into the C section, so it feels great if you adjust the key to one that’s comfortable for you and sing the English parts too.
The accompaniment is solid, so you should still be able to sing it coolly even if you lower the key.
Overall, there’s no need to belt—sing with a light touch, keeping a head-voice feel in mind, and give it a try.

Wolverine Nenzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
The band Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni., known for their catchy musicality and lyrics, has been gaining popularity.
Their melodies and lyrics, which resonate with teenage girls, are highly regarded and consistently rank high on the charts.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is Kuzuri Nen.
It’s not extremely difficult, but it weaves in just the right amount of high notes, making it an ideal number for anyone looking to improve their pitch control.
