Cool when sung by men! Popular and hit songs by female artists
“Songs by female artists are hard to sing…” You hear that a lot, but that’s not necessarily true!
The reason female songs can feel difficult is the difference in vocal range between men and women.
In other words, as long as you adjust the key, you can sing songs by female artists just fine.
That said, women often have a wider range than men, so in that sense, male singers may find female artists’ songs a bit harder to sing.
So this time, we’ve picked out female-artist tracks that are especially cool in style and easy for men to sing.
We also touch on some professional vocal knowledge and techniques, so be sure to check it out!

Snow BlossomNakajima Mika
A winter love song distinguished by its lyrical arrangement of piano and strings.
Released in October 2003, the track beautifully portrays the deep affection and strong bond between lovers against a snowy winter backdrop.
Mika Nakashima’s wistful vocals exquisitely capture pure romantic feelings and poignant longing, resonating deeply with listeners.
With its gentle tone and soft melodic line, it’s a song that even men will find approachable to sing.
Recommended for expressing your feelings to someone special or for performing in romantic winter moments.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
A rock ballad whose melody expresses gratitude to a loved one and whose lyrics reflect on the cherished presence that taught the meaning and joy of life, resonating deeply with the heart.
JUJU’s powerful yet delicate vocals weave an emotional story.
Released in February 2009, the song was used as the commercial theme for a collaboration project between MTV Japan and Nissan Cube, with the artist herself appearing in the ad.
It has since been covered by numerous artists, and in 2016 it gained attention again when Flower covered it as the theme song for the film “Evergreen Love (Shokubutsu Zukan).” While the vocal range is fairly wide, if you adjust the key and sing carefully, male vocalists can fully convey the song’s world as well.
Heralding springyama
With a voice that is both fleeting and powerful, yama vividly portrays the loneliness and struggles of young people living today.
The lyrics delicately depict emotions lurking deep within the heart—such as the fragility of relationships formed through social media and the discomfort of constantly putting on a persona—resonating with many listeners.
Released digitally in April 2020, the song was included as a bonus track on the album “the meaning of life.” It steadily gained support, peaking at No.
7 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
Its clear, airy vocal tone and melodious sound also make it well-suited for male singers, making it a comfortable choice to sing at karaoke.
SunYorushika
Just because a man has a low voice doesn’t mean he can’t sing songs originally for female vocalists.
Regardless of gender, what matters is the song’s vocal range.
If the range falls within a certain span, you can sing it without issues by adjusting to the appropriate key.
With that in mind, I recommend Taiyō.
It’s a masterpiece by Yorushika with a very narrow vocal range.
If you set it to the right key, even men with low voices can sing it comfortably, and since the vocal line is simple, consider adding it to your repertoire.
threadNakajima Miyuki
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Seija no Koshin” (March of the Saints).
Needless to say, it’s a female vocal song, but it’s one of those that can still look good when sung by a male singer.
The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so even men who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it comfortably.
When men sing songs originally for female vocals, they often drop the key by an octave; conversely, if the low notes feel too tough, try adjusting the key up by about +2 to +3.

With its beautiful piano melody and powerful vocals that resonate deeply, this song will reveal a different kind of charm when sung by a male vocalist.

It’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to sing with a gentle, heartfelt mood, expressing feelings for someone special.
