Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Mela!' Music Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Mela!

A song I definitely want women to sing when they want to pump things up is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Mela!”.

The range is on the higher side (G#3–F5), so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.

Many people practice this song in vocal training, and with practice you can definitely master it! You’ll probably want the high notes in the chorus to come out more powerfully than in falsetto.

Start by practicing with falsetto, then gradually strengthen that sound.

Raise your facial muscles and eyebrows, and focus on resonating in the same spot at all times; keep the same awareness when switching between chest voice and falsetto.

Stay relaxed, place the accent as far forward as possible, and project your voice clearly!

Like a flower that blooms beautifully despite its thorns, this song embodies a determination to live powerfully in any environment.

By accepting past wounds without hiding them and moving forward on one’s own feet, its message of independence and the protagonist’s strong will set listeners’ hearts ablaze.

Released in April 2025, this work is the debut single of HANA, a group formed from the audition program “No No Girls,” led by Chanmina and SKY-HI.

[MV] FRUITS ZIPPER - My Cutest Part

It went viral on TikTok with over 900 million views, instantly boosting its recognition as FRUITS ZIPPER’s signature song.

Since it’s an idol track, the melody is divided among members, so the range is wide and the melody becomes complex if you sing it solo.

The overall vocal range is F#3–D5.

In the latter half of the chorus where high notes come in succession, if you tense up you’ll end up using your throat and won’t be able to sustain your voice, so aim to sing lightly with the sensation of resonating in your head.

The “i” vowel is easier for producing head voice, so those high notes should be easier compared to other vowels.

For other vowels, be careful not to tense up—lift your facial muscles and sing with a bright expression!

Wednesday Campanella “Edison”

They’re popular across a wide range of generations—from hardcore techno fans to more visually oriented general audiences—but if we’re talking about their most popular works, wouldn’t it have to be “Edison”? It showcases the cuteness of a female vocal to the fullest, while also conveying a certain fragile quality.

The vocal line is very feminine, but the range is not very wide at mid2B to hiC#, so definitely give it a try.

Here we go! Phantom Thief GirlMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto89rank/position

[Momoclo MV] Go for it! Phantom Thief Girl / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER / IKUZE! KAITOU SHOUJO)

Released in May 2010 as their major-label debut single, this track was written and composed by Kenichi Maeyamada.

Its charm lies in a phantom-thief story inspired by the world of the film The Castle of Cagliostro from the Lupin III series.

The exhilarating premise—“taking aim at listeners’ hearts” with smiles and vocals—pairs with frequent key changes that create a thrilling progression, drawing the audience in at once.

It was also chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s Rank Kingdom, helping spread the name of Momoiro Clover.

It’s the perfect song to sing and dance to at full power with friends at karaoke, or to boost your energy when you need a lift.
