Even so, onlymiwa
Miwa is a female singer-songwriter who continues to attract popularity with her catchy musical style.
She has created many classic songs, but among her relatively newer works, the one I recommend is Soredemo Tada.
While it isn’t a song with no high parts at all, the lyrics have relatively few words, which gives you ample breathing room before the next phrase.
Since many recent songs don’t offer that kind of space, the vocal line in this track should be very easy to sing for those who worry about breathing or swallowing saliva.

I’ll be by your side.ribbon
This song was released in 1990 as ribbon’s second single.
Ribbon was a three-member idol unit that included Hiromi Nagasaku, who is now active as an actress.
Everyone has their own history, don’t they? This song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Time Trouble Tondekeman!” and was composed by Tsugutoshi Goto.
He is known for providing songs to idol groups, and you could say his works helped define an era.
nonsenserinri
Rinri’s song “Sorage-to” is a piece that resonates with anyone carrying the pain of heartbreak.
Carried by the crystalline voice of Narumaki Hime, it weaves feelings of bittersweet sorrow that many have felt at least once.
Overflowing with longing for someone precious you can no longer meet, it gently embraces the listener’s heart.
Its gently flowing melody is sure to give you the courage to move toward a new beginning.
Why not soothe the sorrow of heartbreak with this heartwarming song by rinri?
mutual feelingsthe shes gone
The rock band the she gone has gained popularity with lyrics that spotlight the small realizations hidden in everyday life.
As a rock band, their music is fundamentally rock-centered, but that’s mainly in the instrumentation; the vocal lines are arranged in an easy-to-sing J-pop style.
Among their works, a particularly recommended, karaoke-friendly breakup song is Omoi Ai.
You can probably sing it just by slightly raising your natural voice, so even those who can’t hit high notes can sing it with confidence.
It’s there.unwave
Unwave’s song, themed around the will to confront the reality before us, features a catchy vocal and melody that are sweet yet steely at the core.
Blended with a robust rock sound that transcends the typical confines of a girls’ unit, this track was written and composed by FRAM and released in December 2019 as the lead song from the album “Combination!”.
The energetic guitar solo and drumming lend the piece strong dynamism, drawing listeners in.
It emphasizes a readiness to face one’s shifting emotions amid changing daily life and surroundings, seeming to offer the strength to overcome inner conflict.
I like that kind of thing.wacci
Wacci’s song, with feelings so straight and aching they press against your chest.
It captures, through delicate lyrics and melody, the mindset of a woman troubled by a mismatch of feelings with her partner.
Many will likely relate to her struggle: unable to suppress her love, yet torn over whether to continue a convenient, one-sided arrangement.
Released in April 2024, this work marks the first installment in Wacci’s new series of love song releases.
The music video starring Airi Matsui also drew attention.
It’s a song that stays close to the hearts of those bearing the pain of unrequited love or wrestling with romance.
If I sing to the skywacci
For those working hard in their clubs or studying hard for their dreams, I highly recommend wacci’s song “Sora ni Waraeba” (“If You Smile at the Sky”).
This single was released digitally in 2018.
It’s a track many will relate to, capturing the pains, frustrations, and heartaches of youth.
Even in club activities, there will be pivotal moments—times when you’ll continue on, and when wins and losses could shape your future.
When you feel like you might break, letting the power of music give you courage isn’t a bad idea at all.
