I hate this love songchanmina
In most of Chanmina’s songs, her wonderful low voice really stands out! Listening to “I hate this love song,” there are almost no high notes, and the overall range is A3–C#5.
There’s a brief high note in the chorus, but given the song’s vibe, using falsetto is perfectly fine.
Also, can you hear that finger-snapping sound in the backing track? It plays a very important role in the rhythm of the song, so when you sing it, try to lock into the beat by listening closely to those snaps! Chanmina has a lot of rap-heavy tracks, but since this one doesn’t have bold rap parts, I think it’s easier to learn as a song.
LONELYKatō Miriya feat. LANA
The song “LONELY” by Heisei-era diva Miliyah Kato and Reiwa-era diva LANA has drawn significant attention in some circles for bringing together two artists who have sung about the feelings of teenage girls in their respective eras.
While the track is rooted in R&B, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
The advanced technique known as “feints” (common in R&B) does appear, but only sparingly, and there aren’t any drastic pitch jumps.
It’s not an extremely easy song, but it’s certainly singable even in the original key.

Angel in my heartSIZUKU
A song by singer and actress SIZUKU, digitally released in July 2023.
It is the theme song for the TV drama “I Used to Be an Idol, Now I’m a Delivery Person,” starring Yuma Teranishi and with SIZUKU herself as the heroine, which begins airing on BS Fuji on July 2.
The track unfolds quite dramatically—starting with a ballad-style opening, shifting to an up-tempo section, and returning to a ballad feel toward the end.
However, the vocal melody remains consistently very singable throughout, and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so as long as you keep up with the song’s development, it should be very easy for anyone to sing.
Summeringjin
Jin, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a novelist and screenwriter.
He’s created many classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend is Summering.
It’s his new song, characterized by a sound that evokes Japanese rock.
Many people think of Vocaloid songs as having a wide vocal range, but that’s not the case here.
There’s only one high part in the chorus, and even then it’s not so high that you’d need falsetto.
Anyone with a typical female vocal range should be able to sing it comfortably.
Be sure to check it out.
aporiaYorushika
Yorushika is a musical duo that keeps delivering hit after hit.
Their song “Aporia” has just been released.
This track features A and B sections that highlight vocalist suis’s lower register.
While the chorus does rise, it still stays within the mid range, making it better suited for women with lower voices rather than the average female range.
If you want to perform it more skillfully, try using a whispery vocal technique that mixes in breath, like suis does.
threadNakajima Miyuki
This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 35th single, released in February 1998.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Seija no Koshin” (March of the Saints).
Because the song is composed with a very gentle, minimally undulating melody, I think it’s quite easy for the general public to sing at karaoke even in the original key.
Try to sing each word of the lyrics carefully and gently so as not to spoil the song’s quietly moving atmosphere.
Joyfulikimonogakari
This is the song that became famous as the commercial jingle for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Chocolate,” and I think it left a strong impression on anyone who watched those ads back then! It’s a rhythm-focused song, so you don’t have to worry much about pitch—just get into the groove and it’s a lot of fun! It’s perfect for karaoke beginners or when you want to liven up the mood! There may be a part from the middle where the melody feels a bit high if you sing it in chest voice… but don’t worry! For the high notes, just crank up your energy and project your voice as if you’re aiming far away, and the sound will come out.
Engaging your facial muscles and using gestures is important too.
Above all, have fun!
