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.
