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.

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!

Aimer’s voice is indescribably captivating—it tightens your chest with a bittersweet ache just by hearing it, yet it also has a gentle sweetness.

She’s a popular artist that many people have sung at karaoke or want to try singing.

This song, “Katayomoi,” is also very popular among women, expressing the painful feelings of unrequited love, just as the title suggests.

Even the slightly painful emotions and lyrics are wrapped in a soft melody, making it a number that many women can’t help but relate to.

Perfect for karaoke.

Perfume’s breakthrough song released in 2007—some of you might have felt it sparked an entirely new genre.

They also announced a hiatus for 2025.

Polyrhythm doesn’t require a wide vocal range, so I personally hope those of you reading this will give it a try.

The song should be sung lightly over its brisk beat.

Clearly enunciating each word will help bring out the right vibe, but if you sing standing rigidly still, your mouth can tense up, making high notes harder and causing overall stiffness.

It’s important to get your whole body into the groove! Use your knees to move with the rhythm, and have fun singing.

Superfly has many songs with a high vocal range, but this one is a cover of SUPER BEAVER, so the range is set lower than in typical Superfly songs.

If you’re a woman who wants to sing SUPER BEAVER’s “Hito to Shite,” the original might feel too low and make it hard to hit the pitches, so singing the Superfly version could make it easier to match the notes and get a higher score.

Listening through the song, it’s structured to build momentum from the A-melody into the chorus.

The last chorus modulates and goes even higher, but if you sing with energy, it becomes easier to project and stay on pitch, so I recommend riding the rhythm as you sing.

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.

A song released as a download in 2010.

It was used as NHK’s “2010 Soccer Theme Song” and became hugely popular.

It’s an intense yet cool track, and as expected the difficulty level is on the higher side, but if you can sing it well, it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
