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.

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!
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.
heartbeatNakajima Miyuki
This is singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima’s 48th single, released in September 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the animated film “Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Kōjō” (Alice and Therese’s Illusory Factory).
Although Nakajima has had a long career as a singer, remarkably, this is her first-ever tie-in with an anime.
As of October 2023, she is 71 years old, and her undiminished vocal power is truly astonishing.
When performing this song, the most crucial point is how faithfully you can reproduce the song’s subtle vocal nuances—that’s what it ultimately comes down to.
The vocal melody doesn’t cover a particularly wide range, so in that sense the technical difficulty isn’t very high.
Precisely for that reason, though, it’s highly recommended as a practice piece for developing expressive singing technique.
Be sure to study the original track closely and give it a try.
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.
New EraAdo
A digital-only single by the female singer Ado, released in June 2022.
Incidentally, the lyrics and composition were handled by Yasutaka Nakata.
It was also chosen as a theme song for ONE PIECE FILM RED.
From the very beginning, Ado’s clear, translucent falsetto bursts forth, and the same melody later appears sung in high chest voice, making the track feel like a true “high-tone voice showcase.” This could be one of the best practice pieces for those looking to extend their range upward.
Pushing too hard for high notes can damage your throat, so start practicing in a key you can sing without straining your throat.
primary colorsYOASOBI
It’s a digital-only single by YOASOBI, released on July 2, 2021.
Since it was used as the NTT Docomo “ahamo” commercial song, many of you may have heard it there.
Now, I think the difficulty level is quite high if you try singing this at karaoke, but it’s one of the best songs for practicing singing with a mix voice to falsetto.
The vocal melody itself isn’t that difficult, so it’s ideal for practicing smooth transitions in your vocal production.
From a sound-processing standpoint, the vocal has a deliberately strong pitch-correction effect as part of its production, but try not to imitate that too literally when you sing.
JupiterHirahara Ayaka
It was Ayaka Hirahara’s debut single, released in December 2003.
The song sets lyrics to the middle section of “Jupiter,” the fourth movement of British composer Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets.
Since the melody wasn’t originally written for vocals, its range spans two octaves, making it very challenging for the average person to sing at karaoke.
However, because it requires singing across low, mid, and high registers, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their singing.
Smoothly switching between chest voice and falsetto, as well as controlling the speed of airflow when vocalizing, are key points to delivering a good performance.
