Top Japanese Female Singers and Popular Songs for Women [2026] (Ranks 81–90)
foreignerKUBOTA Saki81rank/position
Saki Kubota’s classic “Ihōjin” (Foreigner).
It probably hits squarely for people in their late 50s to 60s, but since it’s such a famous song, many in their 40s can likely sing it too.
The song’s range is quite wide for a female vocal—mid1 A to hi C#—and the pitch movement is rather dramatic.
While that would normally make it a difficult piece, the contrast between falsetto and chest voice is very clear, which actually makes it surprisingly easy to sing.
Be sure to check it out.
I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko82rank/position
Kyoko Koizumi, an idol who was hugely active from the late ’80s through the ’90s.
Her song “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” was released in 1992, and from around this track she began putting out increasingly original, distinctive songs.
This work emphasizes catchiness, featuring a very singable vocal line throughout.
In particular, the range—mid1 G# to hi B—is quite narrow for a female song, so as long as you adjust the key, it should be easy for singers of any voice type to perform.
Northern CrossMay’n83rank/position
In the 2008 TV anime Macross Frontier, the character Sheryl Nome appears as one of the heroine songstresses.
The person who provided her singing voice was the singer May’n.
This song, which was also used as the anime’s ending theme, is highly popular among fans.
It would be really cool to nail the high-difficulty, fast-paced parts perfectly.
LOVE 2000hitomi84rank/position
The song “LOVE 2000” by hitomi gained nationwide popularity with its energetic melody.
At the time, many women in their 30s likely admired her for her straightforward persona and powerful, rock-tinged musical style.
Although the piece stands out for its strength, its vocal range is surprisingly narrow, centered in the mid to upper-mid range.
There isn’t much pitch variation, and the tempo is mid-range, making it perfect for aiming for a high score.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Rebootmiwa85rank/position
This is singer-songwriter miwa’s 25th single, which also drew attention for her achievement in 2018 as the first female solo artist to successfully perform a solo acoustic guitar concert at Yokohama Arena.
Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Nagi’s Long Vacation,” it’s a cool number that contrasts her cute vocals with a hard-hitting rock sound.
It’s challenging due to its driving feel and overall high key, but it’s great fun to play as a band, so I highly recommend it.
If the key really doesn’t suit you, try tackling it flexibly by asking the instrumentalists to change the chords or by tuning down.
