Female (31–40)
Yume YumeONE OK ROCK
Among ONE OK ROCK’s songs, the masterpiece “Yume Yume” stands out with a highly unorthodox melody.
Lately, it’s been drawing renewed attention after politician Shinji Ishimaru openly stated that he likes the track.
The song is a rap-rock piece with a slightly jazzy vibe and stays within a narrow vocal range throughout.
The flow in the rap sections is simple, and the chorus is also straightforward; as a result, it can come across as somewhat mechanical.
For that reason, especially for female vocalists, it’s important to consciously add solid shouts in the mid-to-high register.
Female (41–50)
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.
CITRUSDa-iCE
Da-iCE’s “CITRUS” shot to fame as a high-tone song! I bet many of you, regardless of gender, have tried singing it.
The overall range of the song is F3–D5, which makes it a more comfortable key for women.
Da-iCE singing in such a high register is something many men look up to! The verses (A and B sections) sit in a relatively calm range, but the tricky part is how the chorus suddenly jumps up into the high notes.
When you’re hitting tones this high, if you can’t switch cleanly into head voice, you’ll strain your throat.
Keep the resonance focused in your head at all times—doing so naturally lifts your facial muscles, so don’t forget to stay mindful of that! You’ll also need explosive power, so project your voice as if you’re aiming far into the distance.
The final chorus modulates and goes even higher, so it’s okay to sing out more than you think you need!
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.
Seimei (Voice-Life)tuki.
Released on May 26, 2025, tuki.’s “Seimei” is a very short song—under three minutes—structured as Verse A → Verse B → Chorus → Bridge → Last Chorus.
The melody is easy to remember and doesn’t require belting, so it’s comfortable to sing gently in head voice.
The tempo is very relaxed, so breathing shouldn’t be an issue either.
To summarize the key points: the A section sits a bit low, so avoid squeezing your throat—raise your eyebrows firmly, and imagine releasing the sound slowly right in front of you as you sing.
In fact, rather than only practicing high notes, low notes are surprisingly important! Once your low range is stable, it will directly support your high notes, greatly improving your overall vocal balance.
Also, unfamiliar pitches use more air than you think, so make sure to take in plenty of breath through your mouth!

Ikimono-gakari’s “Irodori” is set for release in April 2025 and will be used as a commercial song for the Odakyu Group companies.
Some of you might already find it familiar.
The song’s defining feature is how it builds steadily from the A verse to the B verse and then to the chorus, making it easy for anyone to grasp a clear image of how to sing it.
True to Ikimono-gakari’s style, it’s bright and energetic, and the long tones feel great to listen to.
When singing, pay attention to the bouncing rhythm.
From the B section into the chorus, the way you feel the beat shifts little by little, so instead of counting in 4/4, try feeling it in 2/4 as “1, 2, 1, 2”—it will lock in with the melody and make it easier to sing.
The phrases aren’t heavily connected, so it’s also easy to take breaths.
Don’t forget to inhale, and project your voice clearly!
