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!

One Last KissNEW!Utada Hikaru
This song is also strongly associated with its role as the theme for the much-talked-about film Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.
Crafted by Hikaru Utada, it was released in March 2021 and later included on the acclaimed album BAD MODE.
There’s an anecdote that Utada read a near-final script and composed the piece while envisioning the story’s conclusion, resulting in a delicate expression of interwoven feelings of loss and hope.
Its quiet, transparent melody and the gentle timbre of the synthesizers are captivating.
The vocal line, which shifts between falsetto and chest voice, is distinctive, making it a perfect choice for men who want to test the resonance and expressive range of their singing voice.
The strong and fleeting onesNEW!Cocco
Singer-songwriter Cocco from Okinawa.
This signature work of hers is her second major-label single, released in November 1997.
It was also used in a Japan Airlines commercial and became popular across a wide audience.
Its appeal lies in the uniquely tense sound and profound lyrics depicting human strength and fragility.
The structure, which rises emotionally from a gentle melody, brings out the singer’s expressive power.
Because the vocal range isn’t overly wide, if a man adjusts the original key to sing it, it can make for a cool performance exuding mature allure and wistfulness.
It’s a perfect song for creating a mellow atmosphere or expressing your own distinctive worldview.

Released in September 2005, Ai Otsuka’s single became widely loved as the image song for the TBS drama Hana Yori Dango.
Set to a fantastical sound that evokes summer night skies, its world gently depicts distant memories and unrequited feelings, capturing the hearts of many.
It’s a relaxed, classic ballad with a gently undulating melody, making it easy to sing calmly at karaoke.
With a key adjustment, men can sing it too, bringing out a quiet afterglow that conveys mature charm and bittersweet emotion.
Choose it when you want to create a mellow atmosphere or to convey your feelings to someone special.
Spring DayNEW!aimyon
When it comes to Aimyon’s iconic songs that sound cool when sung by a man, this 2019 April release is the one.
It was written as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane ~The Lost Hiroshi~.
The lyrics, which depict the bonds of the Nohara family and the preciousness of everyday life, match perfectly with the warm, acoustic arrangement.
The overall key is low and the tempo is a relaxed mid-pace, making it easy to check each pitch and rhythm as you sing.
This song, which sings of the gentle hope that visits everyday life, is perfect for going to karaoke with someone special or for showcasing a cool yet kind vibe.
GibbsNEW!Shiina Ringo
This track uniquely blends the ache of bittersweet love with the volatility of youth.
The vocal line, rising from a whisper to a powerful burst, grips the listener’s heart.
Released in January 2000 as Shiina Ringo’s fifth single, it’s also included on the landmark album “Shōso Strip.” Years later, a cover version was featured in Kao’s “Merit” shampoo commercial, the “The Day We Held Hands” edition.
When a man sings one of her charismatic songs in his own key, it can bring out a different kind of allure and coolness.
Highly recommended for those who want to pour their emotions into a karaoke performance.
beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)NEW!aiko
This work is captivating for the contrast between its soft, friendly melody and the words that stir the emotions so profoundly.
It’s a love song that delves deeply into the complex feelings of a romance where happiness and anxiety coexist.
Released as a single in November 1999, it’s also included on Aiko’s acclaimed album “Sakura no Ki no Shita.” You might feel that songs by female artists are hard to sing because of their high keys, but by adjusting the key, the warmth and poignancy unique to a male voice can stand out even more.
It’s recommended for creating a gentle, intimate mood at karaoke, or for anyone who wants to convey their feelings directly to someone special.
Riding on the back of a silver dragonNEW!Nakajima Miyuki
A masterpiece by Miyuki Nakajima that became a massive hit as the theme song for the drama Dr.
Coto’s Clinic and has been beloved for many years.
Released as a single in July 2003, it was later included on the acclaimed album “Koibumi.” While the song is notable for its passionate, powerful vocal delivery, its range is surprisingly not too wide, making it one of those female-vocal tracks that can suit male singers as well.
The vocal melody itself is relatively easy to sing, but because the dynamics are somewhat dramatic, the key is to control your volume at the beginning and avoid over-singing right away.
With a slight key adjustment, you should be able to perform it comfortably.
Since the song carries a strong, empowering message, it’s perfect for those who want to pour their emotions into it and sing their heart out at karaoke.
