Top 10 iconic girl band songs that hype up the crowd at karaoke
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
Stars, Freckles, and Diamondstakahashi honoka
Honoka Takahashi, the vocalist of Regal Lily, expresses a unique worldview with delicate expressiveness and an emotional guitar sound.
Blending alternative rock and indie rock, she formed the band and began performing while still in high school.
She has been active internationally, including appearances at SXSW in the U.S.
and a tour in China, and has released the albums “bedtime story” and “C to shi ikeru mono.” She has also created numerous tie-in songs for films and anime, captivating listeners with her clear, transparent voice and distinctive sensibility.
As an artist who provides music for NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” she enjoys broad support across a wide audience.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
This is a song released in 2017 that was used in an NTT Docomo commercial.
The intro through to the lead-up to the chorus might not ring a bell at all, but once the chorus hits, most people will probably think, “I’ve heard this!” The overall vocal range is G3–D5, so most women should be able to sing it without changing the key.
Also, since it features a band × brass band arrangement, the song has a very light, upbeat feel that makes it easy to get into the rhythm! I think it would be plenty of fun and a real crowd-pleaser at karaoke, too.
That said, the chorus is longer than you might expect, so you’ll need some stamina, and there’s a risk it could start to feel repetitive.
It might be good to split the chorus into two big parts—front half and back half—so you can add contrast and keep things engaging!
Girls’ band anthems that hype up karaoke (11–20)
A butterfly that cannot fly dreamsTogenashi Togeari
An emotional rock tune that resonates with the heart, sublimating the worries and hopes of youth.
The raw feelings of young people seeking freedom are expressed alongside a powerful sound.
The exhilarating melody and memorable guitar riffs showcase a high level of polish that proves their ability.
Released in May 2025 as the B-side to Togenashi Togeari’s 10th single, “Daremo,” this track is a coming-of-age anthem that gently embraces the feelings of young people striving to look forward while torn between dreams and reality.
It’s a song that gives energy and courage—one you’ll want to listen to in a classroom after school—and a must-hear for young listeners struggling with their worries.
Cherry BombSilent Siren
Silent Siren’s “Cherry Bomb” is perfect for karaoke with their adorable vocals and catchy melodies.
While they have the cute charm of idols, their quality as a girls’ band is indisputable—the sound they deliver is simply astounding.
Explosive Pannier-santricot
Tricot’s “Bakuretsu Pannier-san” has an exquisite floating sensation, like fish swimming in an aquarium.
You can sense how incredible these women are at crafting a sound where the rock spirit unleashed by Japan’s yamato nadeshiko is recognized around the world.
It’s the kind of song that will hype up a karaoke session and feels great to sing, too.

Chelsy’s “I will,” famous as an insert song in the anime Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride).
Singing this song will let you sink into sentiment while recalling scenes from the anime.
With its emotionally rich and moving lyrics, it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser to sing with anyone who loves this anime.
