Cool Songs Women Will Look Awesome Singing (11–20)
ALL I WANTHirate Yurina
Yurina Hirate, the idol who rose to fame as the center of Keyakizaka46, is now active as a solo artist and gradually gaining popularity in Japan.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for its cool vibe is her new track, “ALL I WANT.” Compared to her previous release, “bleeding love,” it features a more niche sound, with a progression throughout that evokes Heisei-era Japanese R&B.
It’s not difficult to perform, but since the verses are consistently rap-inflected, it’s a perfect track for showing off a cool style.
Miko of the Flood DragonOnmyoza
A magnificent Japanese-style metal song where Japanese aesthetics collide with heavy metal! Onmyo-za is known as a yokai heavy metal band, and above all, vocalist Kuroneko’s high notes are incredible.
I love Onmyo-za and of course I sing their songs too, but I think “Mizuchi no Miko” might be the highest-pitched among their tracks.
The twin guitars are super cool as well, so it’s highly recommended for heavy metal fans.
When singing it, sustained high notes, Japanese-style melodic inflections, and the challenging vocabulary all raise the difficulty.
First, Onmyo-za uses archaic words and difficult kanji in their lyrics, so you should definitely memorize the lyrics! It might be good to start with their famous “Kouga Ninpou Chou.”
Heralding springyama
This song, Haru wo Tsugeru, is what suddenly brought yama into the spotlight.
Some of you might recognize the opening phrase.
That said, when you actually try singing it, it’s famous for being difficult because of the drastic ups and downs in pitch.
The rhythm is crucial and the tempo is on the faster side, so it’s best to learn it slowly, piece by piece, at first.
YouTube lets you change the playback speed, so I highly recommend using that! When you sing, try not to push on the high notes; if you stay relaxed, you’ll be able to make good use of your falsetto.
It might help to practice singing lightly, with a bouncy feel.
As you get a feel for the melody line, you’ll naturally figure out where to add accents and where to cut the sound.
Once you’re comfortable, try using a bit more breath; that should help you switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.
Meroismmurasaki ima
Singer-songwriter Shikon, who gained nationwide popularity with “Masho no Onna A,” is earning high praise for her vocals, rooted in R&B and emphasizing ad-libs and falls.
Among her tracks, a standout recommendation is “Meloism.” It blends dark pop and R&B with elements of house, striking a balance between cute and cool.
It’s a perfect song to bring out the appeal of low to low-mid frequencies.
terminusmafumafu
Mafumafu is famous for his high-tone voice, but of course there are also songs where his masculine low register resonates.
The overall vocal range of the song is A#2–A#5, and he sings using pitches that aren’t often used either low or high.
The jumps are extreme, and you may have no idea how to produce something like A#5, but above all, make sure not to strain your throat from the low notes upward.
Be sure to consciously keep your facial muscles lifted—that’s a given! Start by using your breath very gently and softly.
You might feel short of breath, but get used to the song by using breathy whispering or consonants like the H-sounds.
If we suppose that there is something beyond the terminus.Tsuyu
Released on July 14, 2021, this song powerfully conveys earnest emotions while carrying a heavy theme.
It’s quite challenging, as it requires both a wide vocal range and expressive delivery.
The overall range spans F#3 to G5, suiting Tsuyu’s vocalist Rei, who excels in higher registers.
By the way, Tsuyu also performed “Kizutsukedo, Aishiteru,” the ending theme for season 2 of the anime Tokyo Revengers.
Many listeners might recognize a similar vibe between the two.
The key is to sing the high notes with a hint of falsetto.
Also, when you really immerse yourself emotionally, you may find new tones emerging, so it’s recommended to sing while understanding the lyrics.
Cool songs that are recommended for women to sing (21–30)
Make sure you study up, okay?zutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
An addictive track that portrays a heart that just can’t be honest.
Since ACA-ne, the vocalist of Zutomayo, wrote and composed it herself, it’s a triple threat of high notes, rapid-fire delivery, and raw emotion—making it top-tier in karaoke difficulty! Also, rather than belting out piercing high notes, she sings with a falsetto-based tone that carries a sense of poignancy, so if you try to imitate it, you’ll probably end up seriously short of breath.
You’ll need to time your breaths well as you sing.
Actually, here’s a secret: that whispery voice people use when speaking quietly—that’s falsetto and it uses a ton of air! If you keep talking like that the whole time, you’ll get pretty tired… That said, because it’s a breath-heavy vocal technique, try it just a little when you remember.
You’ll likely find that singing normally becomes much easier!
