WILLNakajima Mika
A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own path in life.
It begins with memories of gazing up at the night sky and, while reflecting on the journey so far, speaks powerfully of a resolve for the future.
Her pure, delicate vocals carry a trace of poignancy and inspire the courage to face forward—an exceptional song.
Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astroguide” (Tentai Kansoku).
Crafted by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s best sung at an unhurried pace, holding cherished memories and determination close to your heart.
For the momentEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing is an artist that represents the Heisei era.
Some of you might have spent your youth with ELT’s music.
They’re known for a lot of high-pitched songs, but among them, “For the moment” has high notes mainly in part of the chorus, while the rest stays relatively within a comfortable range.
It also has a good groove, making it easier to sing.
In the high notes of the chorus, the melody climbs like steps, so building momentum is very important.
High notes are tough without enough breath, so where you breathe matters, too.
First, look through the lyrics and find where the high notes are.
Once you know the spots, try singing the melody so those parts become the accents.
It should be easier if you keep the rhythm while you sing!
go for it！DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE is a duo supported by every generation, including those in their forties.
Because their music is rooted in Black music, many of their songs are complex, but of course there are simpler ones as well.
One I recommend is go for it!.
While the melody is somewhat irregular, the vocal range is narrow and there aren’t any sudden jumps in pitch, making it one of the easier DREAMS COME TRUE songs to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
romantic feelingsAikawa Nanase
Koigokoro, one of Nanase Aikawa’s signature songs, was also the first track of hers to sell over a million copies.
Starting with a hard-hitting intro, it really lifts your spirits.
While the original features her alluring husky vocals, the key isn’t particularly high and the melody is easy to pick up, making it very singable.
It’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes or who want to sing a cool, edgy women’s song.
Watarase BridgeMoritaka Chisato
It’s Chisato Moritaka’s 17th single, released in 1993.
She once called herself a “non-talented” singer, but the vocal ability she shows on this track is quite impressive.
The melody is simple and easy to sing, yet she keeps it engaging and never boring.
There aren’t any particularly difficult parts for karaoke either, so if you’re only aiming for a high score, anyone with a bit of confidence in their singing should find it easy.
But if you can fully express that simple melody and sing it with feeling, that’s the best!
Message of RougeMatsutōya Yumi
For women in their 40s, Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service is probably right on the mark for their generation.
The song “Rouge no Dengon” is a famous track by Yumi Matsutoya and was chosen as the theme song for Kiki’s Delivery Service.
As a piece released in the 1970s, it features a bright, nostalgic melody throughout.
Because it’s an older song, it can be said to be reasonably easy to sing.
However, the vocal range is quite wide—from mid1 F# to hi D#—and the chorus has significant pitch jumps, so you’ll need to learn the vocal line well to avoid going off pitch.

Live, brilliantlyikimonogakari
This song was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Kingdom Season 6, and the phrase in the title, “Ikite, Sansan” (“Live, Radiantly”), really sticks in your ears.
The vocal range isn’t too high or too low, making it comfortable for women to sing.
It’s also easy to catch the tempo, so I highly recommend it! The melody isn’t difficult, so it’s best to sing each phrase carefully.
Don’t sing with a blank expression—raise your eyebrows and be mindful of gestures, as if you’re tracing the pitch with your hands.
Also, if you sing the beginning of the C melody a bit more strongly, your voice will come out better and you’ll likely enjoy singing it more!
