What kind of songs do you sing when you go to karaoke?

Many people probably have a go-to song they always sing.

Your song choices may also change depending on the situation—like when you go with women of the same age, or when you go with coworkers or your boss.

But when it comes to picking songs that are different from your usual choices—and that also match the situation—it can be surprisingly hard to come up with ideas.

So in this article, we’ll introduce classic karaoke songs by female artists that are easy to sing in any situation, especially for women who struggle with choosing what to sing.

We’ll focus on trending female artists while covering various eras, so use this as a reference when you want to sing something different from your usual lineup!

MermaidYuka

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her stylish musicality.

Strongly influenced by Western music, she excels at complex rhythms and vocal lines rarely found in mainstream Japanese pop.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Mermaid.” It’s a chic, quiet piece reminiscent of Billie Eilish, and it stays mostly in the high register.

High notes might seem challenging for women with lower voices, but this song’s range is quite narrow, so as long as you adjust it to the right key, it’s actually rather easy to sing.

Polkadot Stingray is a band that keeps rolling out hit numbers with their catchy musicality.

Their new song “Ano ne,” is also showing signs of becoming a hit.

This piece tends to be perceived as somewhat high.

In reality, while there isn’t much in the low range, the ostensibly high parts often sit in the mid-to-high range, making it easier to sing than it sounds.

I think the toughest spot is the long sustained note at the end of the chorus, but since it’s also a peak moment, make sure to take a big breath during the rest right before it, and avoid pushing too much volume on the long tone.

Awesome City Club

With a refined musicality rooted in city pop and indie pop, PORIN continues to captivate the music scene.

She began her career in 2013 as the vocalist and keyboardist of Awesome City Club, making her major-label debut in 2015.

In 2021, the band won the Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards, propelling their recognition to new heights.

Her unique world, woven from delicate lyrics and beautiful melodies, also shines through in her solo work.

Beyond music, she demonstrates her talent across diverse fields such as fashion and art, and her expressive power consistently resonates with music fans who have a creative sensibility.

A hundred flowers in full bloomIkuta Rira

Rira Ikuta, known as the vocalist of YOASOBI, is also active as a solo artist and has produced numerous classic songs to date.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Hyakka Ryoran.

It may seem like a high-pitched song, but for a Rira Ikuta track, its vocal range is relatively narrow, and there aren’t any high sections with continuous falsetto.

However, there are many key changes, so make sure to firmly grasp the melody in advance.

Song of LoveKōda Kumi

A gem of a ballad that earnestly sings of a woman’s feelings in love.

Kumi Koda’s powerful yet delicate vocals beautifully capture the subtle nuances of complex emotions.

With its relaxed tempo and melody, and minimal shifts in pitch throughout, it’s a song you can sing calmly at karaoke.

Released in September 2007, it was featured in a music.jp commercial and used as a support song for World Judo 2007.

The lyrics, depicting the bittersweetness of love and deep affection from a woman’s perspective, are universally relatable.

Next time you go to karaoke on a day off, why not make the most of its gentle pace and sing it with heartfelt emotion?

Last sceneJUJU

JUJU “Last Scene” Theme song for NHK Drama 10 “Seijo (Saint)”

Among JUJU’s songs, this is a relatively rare, fast-tempo, cool track.

Since it’s by her, who has outstanding vocal ability, singing it well is quite challenging.

But it also became famous through a TV drama, so it’s a song that can really hype up the crowd.

Perfect for when you want to look cool at a girls’ night out!
