This is a song that reveals new charm when sung by a woman.
Performed with the soft voice of Macaroni Enpitsu’s vocalist Hattori, it features a comfortable melody infused with pop-rock elements.
Released in November 2021, the song’s lyrics—centered on the anxieties of love and self-affirmation—leave a strong impression and resonate deeply with listeners.
It has gained popularity on streaming services and ranked high on the Billboard Japan charts.
It’s also a great pick for women who want to sing songs by male artists at karaoke.
If a woman belts out the chorus with power, it’s guaranteed to sound cool!
Mela!Ryokushokushakai32rank/position
This song, with its captivatingly colorful world, is a quality pop tune marked by the interplay of a joyful beat and a brilliantly bursting melody.
Sung by Haruko Nagaya, whose exceptional expressive power captures a stirring impulse that makes you want to get moving, it’s strangely tear-jerking despite its brightness.
Released in April 2020, the track appears on the acclaimed album “SINGALONG,” and served as the CM song for Dariya’s “Palty Coloring Milk,” greatly boosting Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s name recognition.

RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION33rank/position
The opening theme song for the fourth season of the TV anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
It features a fast-paced rock sound and is beloved as a staple at live shows and karaoke.
Rewrite is a very cool song if you sing the chorus in a way that ramps up the energy, and you can probably add a fall after the long tone in the chorus.
However, since it leans toward shouting, it can be quite difficult if you overuse your throat.
Sing powerfully, but don’t forget the feeling of keeping your throat relaxed.
catDISH//34rank/position
DISH//, with actor Takumi Kitamura as the lead vocalist.
The song “Neko,” written and composed by Aimyon, is very popular among men.
One point to watch when singing is not to belt too much on the high notes in the chorus.
The song’s structure is straightforward, gradually building from the verse to the chorus.
Since Kitamura doesn’t use falsetto in his singing, many students end up belting the chorus in chest voice, which puts strain on the throat.
If you open your eyes wide and focus on projecting the voice forward rather than pulling it back, your core will be engaged and you’ll gradually be able to produce the sound more easily.
