PledgeAnjura Aki
Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who is also active as a musical theater composer.
Released in 2025, her song “Pledge” centers on the theme of accepting oneself as they are, and an emotional atmosphere permeates the entire piece.
The song features a lot of low-register passages and a relatively narrow vocal range overall.
While this means you need to sing it with emotional nuance, it is still, fundamentally, a song that’s easy to perform.

#Tokyo LIFEKato Miria
It’s a slightly cool song with an R&B vibe that feels very much like Miliyah Kato, and the second verse even has a rap-like section.
The vocal range isn’t that high, so it’s a song you can sing smoothly.
As long as you can lock into the rhythm, you’ll be able to sing it really stylishly, so make sure to listen closely to the backing track and keep the rhythm.
If you clap while you sing, it’s easier to see where to place the accents.
Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly in the same spots, those parts become the accents, making it easier to stay aware of them.
Overall, you want to stay relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.
Let’s Count Your Kisses ~You were mine~Koyanagi Yuki
This is a song from Yuki Koyanagi’s 1999 debut, and I think it’s a ballad everyone admires.
Maybe some of you listened to this track on repeat back then? Even if you think you’re tone-deaf, songs you’ve listened to a lot stick in your memory, so when you actually sing them, you’ll often find you can surprisingly stay on pitch.
Don’t be afraid to give it a try.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the melody jumps up quickly from the chorus into the bridge, 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 can lower the key and still sing it stylishly without any problem.
You don’t have to belt across the whole song—keeping a light touch with a head voice focus is plenty, so try approaching it with an easy, relaxed feel.
Lila LilhaKimura Kaera
Kaela Kimura’s third single, “Rirura Riruha.” True to her early work, the song has an overall rock feel, but the vocal line isn’t particularly intense.
In fact, while the range is mid2C to hiC#—so on the higher side—it stays within a narrow span.
The melodic movement is very gentle, and since the average pitch is mid2E, only two semitones above the lowest note, even those who struggle with high notes should find it easy to sing.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
LastlyMayo Okamoto
Mayo Okamoto is a female singer who was active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
In the early part of her career she specialized in gentle ballads, but recently she has also been presenting songs with a bit more edge.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Lastly.
It’s basically a piece with a narrow vocal range, and the pitch movement isn’t all that drastic.
It remains easy to sing, but there are moments where long falsetto notes appear, so you need to watch out for those.
If the key is set too low, you won’t be able to produce a solid falsetto, so it’s best to raise the key by one or two steps from your usual optimal key.
GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
The lyrics were written by Ai Yazawa, the original creator of NANA, and the composition/production was handled by HYDE—an all-star team behind a song that took the world by storm! The song’s range isn’t too high and is comfortable for most female singers, so many people probably enjoy singing it.
However, at the end of the second chorus, the highest note E5 appears.
This is a spot you’ll want to nail with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to resonate nasally, making them harder to project than other sounds.
So try singing with more strength than you think you need! Be sure to place solid accents in time with this section.
If the key feels tough, starting in head voice is fine.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger head voice—engage your lower abdomen and add those accents!
Kiss me right nowLINDBERG
LINDBERG is a female-vocal rock band that broke out in the late 1980s.
Among their songs, “Ima Sugu Kiss Me” became hugely popular after being used as the theme song for the drama “Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki,” starring Atsuko Asano and Hiroshi Mikami.
Many women admired LINDBERG’s vocalist, Maki Watase, for her cute and cheerful voice.
It’s a highly recommended number when you want to sing something upbeat and fun!
