Cool songs recommended for women to sing (41–50)

This song, chosen as the theme for the animated feature film “100m.,” is a quintessentially Higedan-style tough piece.
The rhythm is relatively steady, but there are lots of words, making breathing difficult, and the range is extremely wide.
In the C section and the chorus, many listeners will probably think, “It goes up here?” Once you start singing, there’s almost no break—the melody just keeps coming one after another—so you’ll need to be really prepared (lol).
First, make sure you thoroughly memorize the lyrics and melody! The A section seems manageable to sing gently, but from the B section on, it gets hard unless you plan your breathing spots.
Instead of singing everything at 100%, aim to release your voice little by little and then let it all out on the high notes—that balance works well! Don’t miss any fleeting moments where you can catch a breath.
Also, when dropping from high notes to low notes, pitch tends to fall and you might strain your throat, so try singing with your eyebrows kept raised!
Fighting My WayHatsuboshi Gakuen, Giga, Hanami Saki
This is a character song from the game “Gakuen Idolmaster,” known as Gakumasu, and it’s the solo track by Saki Hanami, whom my student called the final boss! I’ve tried singing this song at karaoke myself, but it’s definitely not something you can sing just by casually listening to it! The tempo is fast, and the melody comes at you in rapid succession, so unless you really listen closely and get to the point where you can hum along, it’s pretty tough to handle at karaoke.
In fact, Gakumasu has a lot of songs made by Vocaloid producers, so most of them are said to be quite difficult.
It’s a fun song to listen to on its own, and if you can sing it, it’s super cool and feels great! I recommend humming when you’re learning the song.
Don’t hum by pushing with your throat; try doing it lightly so the resonance hits between your eyebrows!
BibbidebaHoshimachi Suisei
Suisei Hoshimachi’s “Bibideba” became a hot topic on YouTube in 2024 as an “insanely difficult rap” and a “top-tier challenge” song—have you heard of it? Some of my students actually tried it, and when I taught it, I felt that on a first pass it’s quite hard and the melody is tough to anticipate.
Beyond rhythm and pitch, it includes rapid-fire sections and rap parts—there are lots of elements packed in.
If you can master it, it’s a super fun and satisfying song to sing! In the chorus, many phrase endings switch to head voice, so lift your facial muscles and keep centering your pitch between the eyebrows, imagining the sound traveling from the brow up through the head as you transition to head voice.
Raising your hand toward your head while singing can make the visualization easier and help the voice come out more freely.
For the word-heavy sections, don’t try to articulate every syllable crisply; instead, let the words flow so they ride the melody as you sing.
CinderellaTomei
We’re in an era where talented musicians born in the 2000s are leading the scene, and TOMEI—born in 2003 and discovered by director Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS—is certainly one of them.
The song we’re introducing here, “Haikaburi,” is her debut track, produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda and released in July 2023.
Written and composed by TOMEI herself, it fully showcases her gifts as a singer-songwriter.
“Haikaburi” carries a dark pop vibe reminiscent of Billie Eilish, and its word choice stands out, resulting in a track that highlights her individuality.
Once you grasp the song’s atmosphere and get past the recurring falsetto parts, even those who aren’t completely confident in their vocal skills should be able to sing it well.
The chorus is surprisingly easy to sing, too, so I’d encourage anyone looking to try a song with a different feel than usual to give it a shot.
Cool foreign songs to sing (41–50)
English songs are, after all, cool if you can sing them!
Up to this point, I’ve been introducing cool songs by Japanese artists that are great to sing, but for the finale, it’s Western music! It’s undeniably cool when you can pull off songs in English. Of course, many people don’t speak English, but if you keep listening to the songs, you’ll be able to sing with good pronunciation—so definitely give it a try. Compared to Japanese songs, memorizing the lyrics can be tougher, but that makes it all the more moving when you finally manage to sing them. Practice a lot, and sing with confidence.

Born from the fusion of K-pop and American pop, this is a signature anthem of 2024.

Good Luck, Babe!Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan, an American singer-songwriter.
It’s a track that sings about unfulfilled love, laced with a bit of irony.
The effective use of synths and the laid-back groove seep naturally into the listener’s body, making it a catchy pop tune.
The chorus strings together slightly tough-sounding words, distilling the helplessness of love—so when you sing it, pour that aching feeling into your performance.
If you can make everyone’s hearts flutter, you’re guaranteed a complete victory.
