Iconic girl band songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

Setting aside my surprise at just how many all-female bands there are in Japan, this time I’ve gathered songs by girl bands that are easy to sing at karaoke.

From “ladies’ metal” to indie rock, the selection is wonderfully diverse, so you’re sure to find a new favorite track.

Girls’ band classics that are easy to sing at karaoke (21–30)

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO is a female band that gives the impression of having lots of cute songs.

While vocalist Miyazaki usually sings solo, you can hear light harmonies here and there—at the end of the A verse and in the chorus.

The vibe is like softly humming along while playing the guitar.

The chorus also repeats the same phrase, and there are more lower harmonies than upper ones, so it’s easy to pick them out if you listen with earphones.

Even if you’re not confident with harmonizing, these songs are gentle and easy to sing along with once you get used to them—so hang in there, harmony beginners!

Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece female band, and it seems that vocalist Moeka Shiozuka mainly writes the lyrics and composes.

The new song “mild days” also features beautifully tight harmonies! What seems like the B section might actually be the chorus, but from there she sings an octave higher, layering softly, and the atmosphere shifts all at once.

She also sings upper harmonies while taking the line an octave up, so at first you might not notice and end up singing the whole thing an octave higher.

But if you practice carefully while listening closely to the vocals, you’ll pick up the knack quickly! The song is also on the shorter side at about three minutes, and the repeating melody makes it easy to memorize.

Hammer Head Shark is a rock band with an impressively delicate sound that blends dream pop and alternative.

They’re a Japanese rock act known to those in the know, often mentioned as a stylish-band contender alongside groups like Hitsujibungaku and Kinoko Teikoku.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Sono (Garden).

It features an extremely soft, pale-hued melody, and the vocal line matches it with a subdued, world-weary delivery that avoids dramatic rises and falls.

The range is narrow, too, so if you set it to a suitable key, you should be able to sing it comfortably.

Me to Me is a three-piece rock band formed in Nagoya.

They embody classic Japanese rock and have gained popularity in the J-rock scene for their emotional sound.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Good Day’s Song.

It features a warm melody with a slightly traditional Japanese flavor, and the vocals are crafted with warmly delivered, deliberately repetitive phrases.

While the song isn’t exactly low, it’s very easy to adjust the key, so be sure to give it a listen.

Bye-bye7!!

7!! – “Bye-Bye” (Seven Oops – Bye Bye) short ver.

Bye Bye by 7!!, known as the opening single for the anime Kimi to Boku.

It’s the kind of song that would rank high on my list of “great unknown songs a friend sang at karaoke.” It has a distinctive flavor, and it’s a track that really gets everyone hyped when you sing it together with friends.

Having finally made their major debut, the girls’ band Brandy Senki has been attracting attention not only in the Japanese rock scene but also in the mainstream.

They’ve already produced several great songs, but the one we especially recommend for women with lower voices is Fix.

While it’s not exactly a low-pitched song, the overall range is kept modest, making it perfectly manageable for singers with deeper voices.

Its relaxed tempo also makes it easy to make simple course corrections, so it’s a good pick for those who aren’t very confident in their singing.

Chilli Beans.

is a girls’ band that’s gained popularity for their ennui-tinged, high-sense musicality—a name everyone in the Japanese rock scene knows.

Their songs often carry a languid vibe, and among them, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is “tragedy.” While it doesn’t feature explicitly low parts, the vocals sit in the low-to-mid range throughout, making it very singable for lower-voiced women.

It’s also nice that there aren’t any complicated pitch jumps.
