Mela!Ryokushokushakai
A song I definitely want women to sing when they want to pump things up is Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Mela!”.
The range is on the higher side (G#3–F5), so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.
Many people practice this song in vocal training, and with practice you can definitely master it! You’ll probably want the high notes in the chorus to come out more powerfully than in falsetto.
Start by practicing with falsetto, then gradually strengthen that sound.
Raise your facial muscles and eyebrows, and focus on resonating in the same spot at all times; keep the same awareness when switching between chest voice and falsetto.
Stay relaxed, place the accent as far forward as possible, and project your voice clearly!
