When I first heard their songs and saw them on TV, I was surprised—so this is a girls’ band?—and I even felt a bit envious of how good the music was.

With literary lyrics and catchy melodies, they gained widespread popularity.

Shangri-La is a hit song that sets adolescent love to a catchy rhythm.

SCANDAL is a girls’ rock band that gained immense popularity in the late 2000s.

Even now, as a representative girls’ rock band, they continue to churn out hit numbers from time to time.

Among their songs, “DOLL” is likely a deeply nostalgic track for women in their 30s.

This piece covers a relatively narrow vocal range of mid1 G# to hi D, and its vocal lines have gentle rises and falls, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

For women in their 30s, the most popular idol group would have to be Morning Musume, wouldn’t it? Produced by Tsunku, they’ve created many hit numbers despite their eccentric musical style.

Among Morning Musume’s songs, Happy Summer Wedding is especially recommended.

It’s a fast-tempo piece with a wide vocal range, partly because it includes phrases close to scat singing.

However, the basic vocal line doesn’t require an especially wide range, so as long as you choose which parts to sing carefully, it’s relatively easy to perform.

As pioneers among Kansai-born Johnny’s groups, the idol duo KinKi Kids has continued to assert a solid presence both as a group and as individuals.

“Ai no Katamari,” included as the B-side to their 13th single “Hey! Minna Genki Kai?,” is a melancholy number that was used as the theme for Morinaga’s “DARS” commercial.

While it features quick melodic passages and falsetto leaps, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, making it relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a lyrical song that really comes alive when you harmonize with friends.

Osaka LoverDREAMS COME TRUE

It was released in 2007 as DREAMS COME TRUE’s 38th single.

The lyrics center on a woman in a long-distance relationship and incorporate Osaka dialect.

Written specifically for Universal Studios Japan’s attraction “Hollywood Dream – The Ride,” the song captures the real frustrations of long-distance love and the everyday back-and-forth between a couple, making it a realistic and enjoyable track.

6 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Frequently played at ski resorts at the time, it remains a popular winter staple.
