Isn’t it natural for anyone to lose confidence when they’re weighed down by anxiety—by failures, setbacks, and regrets? This is a dramatic, ballad-style anthem that I want to recommend to every woman striving to make it in today’s world; it really hits home in moments like those.

Delivered in their straightforward choral style, the vocals highlight the stripped-down, unadorned lyrics, making the message stand out with striking clarity.

Some of you may already know this, but it’s the theme song of NHK’s morning drama series “Scarlet.” The melody suits a morning show perfectly, paired with Superfly’s refreshing voice.

It’s a relaxed, medium-tempo song that’s easy to sing and quite well-known, so if you sing it with friends it can really liven things up and might even turn into a big sing-along.

It’s a great pick for when the energy starts to dip a little!

Although it’s a difficult song to sing, I recommend it as a closing number for those confident in their vocal skills.

This grand ballad, as a sing-it-out type of song, is perfect as the ending for a mature girls’ night or a gathering of friends.

Practice hard and make everyone go, “Oh!”

This is “Atashi no Mukou,” a song released in 2014 by the hugely popular singer-songwriter aiko.

It’s a stylish and cute rock tune.

This is the song that was also used as the theme for the film “Her Blue Sky.” There’s a band in the movie too, and this track fit perfectly.

Since Aimyon’s vocal range is originally on the lower side, this song is comfortable even for women with lower voices.

The tempo is medium, making it easy to sing, so be sure to try this popular tune and liven up the crowd!
