Odd DancerGLIM SPANKY
Aren’t songs written for men often hard for women to really belt out? This is especially true if you have a slightly raspy voice, which can make you feel even less confident.
For anyone who feels that way, I recommend Odd Dancer by GLIM SPANKY.
It’s a striking, downer-style rock track that evokes the 1990s US punk scene, and despite its languid vibe, it features plenty of parts you can shout along to.
If you’re a woman with a husky voice, try this song to blow off some steam!
Cheering songnamu abedabutsu
Namu Abedabutsu is a four-piece rock band gaining popularity as an Aloha-style rock act.
They specialize in rock reminiscent of The Cro-Magnons and The Blue Hearts, and many of their songs feature shout-along phrases.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Ouenka (Cheer Song).
While the song stands out for its straightforward, encouraging message, the melody is solidly rock, with plenty of shouting parts right from the start.
It’s perfect for blowing off stress!

It’s a signature song by ONE OK ROCK that gives you confidence and courage.
The energetic guitar riffs and powerful vocals make you feel as if they’re speaking directly to your heart.
The message in the lyrics—“You can fly, you can shine”—encourages you to overcome any hardship.
Included on their first full-length album, Zeitakubyou, released in November 2007, this track captures the band’s early momentum and youthful spirit.
It’s a perfect choice when you want to let loose at karaoke or crank up the fun with friends.
The vocal range is relatively easy, so even if you’re not confident in your singing, you can jump in without worry.
