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 Help You Sing Better: Practice Tracks to Improve Your Karaoke (41–50)
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.
shameless; indecentchanmina
Chanmina’s Harenchi is sung mostly in a lower register, giving off a mature, sultry vibe.
Just when you think it will end quietly, the last chorus turns emotional and shifts into a slightly higher range.
I think that switch is really important.
There’s also a rap section in the middle, so that part needs practice too.
My students practiced the rap section a lot as well.
When the rap really lands, it feels great to sing and sounds very cool.
For the rap melody, it seems easy to memorize if you first focus on humming or using a neutral syllable like “la” instead of the lyrics.
Try singing without forcing or pushing your voice!
Moon on pampas grassShiina Ringo
Ringo Sheena’s “Miscanthus and the Moon” is actually a cover—the original song is “Gypsy” by the three-piece band Appa! The rock piano is super cool, and you can listen on YouTube, so definitely check out both versions! Like the original, Ringo Sheena’s version also has a very wide vocal range, from A2 to D5, so it might be fun for two people to split the low and high parts and sing together! Also, the low notes in the C section are quite challenging for an average female voice… This is your moment, dear reader! Give it a try and memorize it!
bow knotAimer
Aimer’s 11th single, released in August 2016.
I know it’s odd to say this after selecting this song, but since Aimer has a very distinctive singing style, I don’t really recommend trying to imitate it.
In particular, that breath-heavy vocal tone is something you probably shouldn’t copy too much.
If your natural voice and vocal style are close to hers, this can be a very useful reference.
However, if your goal is to improve general, versatile singing ability, rather than mimicking, try practicing expressing the song’s softness and other qualities in your own way.
It will demand a high level of skill, but it’s a song that’s worth that effort.
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.
the NOISE (Contains a Samples of Into The Night)Le Sserafim × YOASOBI
LE SSERAFIM’s track “the NOISE (Contains a Samples of Into The Night),” a collaboration with YOASOBI’s iconic song “Yoru ni Kakeru,” is based on a piece that featured many high-register passages.
In this new song, the high notes and melodic leaps are toned down, making it easier to sing.
However, unlike the original’s straightforward, full-on on-beat feel, the vocal lines here are built primarily around a backbeat that most Japanese listeners don’t naturally perceive.
As a result, you’ll need to sing with a solid sense of the off-beat and groove.
