Ayumi Hamasaki / fairyland (Short Ver.)

Ayumi Hamasaki’s classic “fairyland.” Because it’s a very upbeat song, many women in their 30s may avoid it thinking it’s too high, but surprisingly the vocal range isn’t that wide; it stays within mid1F to hiD.

What makes it easy to sing isn’t just that—the tempo is slightly slow at BPM 112, and the pitch movement is fairly consistent.

If you carefully track the pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke without any issues, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

a song is born

This song is a collaboration between Ayumi Hamasaki, a dominant presence in the music scene of the 2000s, and KEIKO, the vocalist of the music group globe known for producing numerous hits such as “DEPARTURES.” “a song is born” was created as part of the charity project “songnation” and was released as a single in 2001.

Its lyrics carry a grand, powerful message that perfectly matches the strong, resonant vocals of the two artists.

It’s a moving song that naturally brings you to tears as you keep listening.

BALLADHamasaki Ayumi23rank/position

Ayumi Hamasaki / BALLAD

For women in their 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki is the quintessential artist of their generation.

However, if you have a lower voice, you might feel her songs are challenging because of their wide vocal range.

That’s why I recommend “BALLAD.” As the title suggests, it’s a classic ballad, but unusually for an Ayumi Hamasaki song, it’s sung within a relatively narrow range.

The tempo is also slow, giving you plenty of time to prepare for the next entrance.

It’s sure to get a great response when you sing it in front of people from the same generation, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

BYE-BYEHamasaki Ayumi24rank/position

Ayumi Hamasaki / BYE-BYE

A song depicting a heartrending farewell and a new beginning was released in April 2024.

Written specifically for NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” the piece features Ayumi Hamasaki’s delicate vocals.

Set to a melody that seems to bridge the past and the future, it sings of the preciousness of each moment and of hope.

Its distinctive sound—fusing electronic and orchestral elements—is also captivating.

Included on the album “A Song for You,” it stands as a track that symbolizes a new chapter in Hamasaki’s musical career.

It’s a song that gently supports those facing graduation, parting, or key crossroads in life.

Why not take the time to listen closely?

Ayumi Hamasaki / Depend on you

Her fifth single, “Depend on you,” which was released in 1998, became a turning point that boosted Ayumi Hamasaki’s popularity.

Even among her many songs that feature high pitches, the powerful vocals and melody in this track are sure to make you the center of attention at karaoke! Sing with a focus on strong, dynamic delivery over the flowing guitar sound.

Also, this song was used as a theme for a video game, and that anecdote can serve as a great conversation starter at karaoke.
