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 (21–30)
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
It was a track from SHISHAMO’s fourth album, “SHISHAMO 4,” released in February 2017, and it was also used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
It’s a simple rock song with a pleasant, upbeat rhythm, and the brass arrangement is really cool.
The melody is very catchy and memorable, but there are also some slightly intricate parts—like the chorus melody—and brief moments of high falsetto, making it an excellent piece for vocal practice as well.
Try singing it while maintaining a bright tone throughout, and be sure to relax into the high falsetto so it stays smooth and doesn’t become harsh.
Letter ~Dear fifteen-year-old you~Anjura Aki
This is Angela Aki’s eighth single, released in September 2008.
As it was featured on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” the song is built on a very simple, easy-to-remember melody, making it one of the best practice pieces for developing the most important element for sounding good at karaoke: accurate pitch.
From the opening, which starts as a piano-and-vocal ballad, to the more rhythmic development in the middle, it will surely help you study rhythmic expression as well.
Angela Aki herself has excellent vocal technique, so be sure to incorporate vocal training to build your fundamentals.

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.
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.
If you call it loveUru
Uru is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
She has earned numerous tie-ins so many people have likely heard her songs.
One of her greatest charms is the beauty of her mix voice and falsetto.
Many listeners are captivated by her clear, translucent vocals that even evoke a sacred atmosphere.
Her contrasting vocal expressions are also noteworthy, from a gentle, whisper-like delivery to a powerful, expansive style.
AldebaranAI
Released on November 1, 2021, a song by AI.
It was chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Come Come Everybody.” Because it’s performed by AI, who is renowned for her vocal prowess, the song is extremely demanding to sing.
Precisely for that reason, once you practice and master it, you’ll gain a lot.
In particular, it’s well worth studying how to handle phrase endings, how to add vibrato and nuance to phrases, and the use of ad-libs heard throughout the track.
crescent moonayaka
Ayaka’s fourth single, released in September 2006.
Although Ayaka is renowned as a powerhouse singer, this song has a relatively simple melody and is ideal as a practice piece for beginner to intermediate singers.
There are many parts that require slightly advanced vocal techniques—such as phrasing, switching smoothly between mixed voice and falsetto, and distinguishing how to use each vocal mode—but these are essential skills for singing modern songs, so I strongly encourage you to master them.
Be careful to sing so that the high notes don’t become harsh or piercing.
