Recommended karaoke songs for women in their 20s — Heisei/Reiwa hits and the latest tracks

Your eyes only ~The Vague Contours of Me~EXILE

EXILE / Your eyes only ~My Vague Outline~

This one’s a classic hit too.

It’s by EXILE, but it’s not up-tempo, and I think it works great as a duet song! You’ll definitely find yourself going, “So nostalgic!” when the chorus hits.

It’ll make you once again realize just how beautiful the melody is.

NAOHY

HY – NAO (Official Music Video)

A soothing song included on the album “Confidence.” The title “NAO” refers to a real person who is a friend of HY’s Nakasone.

It’s said the song was written based on her romantic experiences.

With that background, every lyric resonates with realism, starting from the feeling that “no matter how much I fall in love, this will only ever be unrequited.” If you sing it at karaoke, try keeping the A melody restrained and controlled.

It’s a wonderful song that requires practice, so if you’re confident in your singing, give it a try!

Best FriendKiroro

Kiroro 「Best Friend」 Music Video (Short ver.)

Since we’re talking about easy-to-sing songs, I chose Kiroro’s “Best Friend.” I think it’s a great recommendation as a first song for girls who aren’t confident with karaoke.

Start by practicing this one, and then try performing it in front of everyone.

Both the lyrics and the melody are familiar and approachable, so it’s a song that’s well-received across a wide range of ages.

flameLiSA

LiSA “Homura” -MUSIC CLIP-

This song served as the theme for a smash-hit animated film.

With over 300 million streams and million-selling digital downloads, it became a social phenomenon.

Released in October 2020, it topped the Oricon charts in the CD single, digital single, and streaming categories.

The song carries a powerful message about overcoming sorrow and hardship and moving forward in life.

LiSA’s strong vocals and the grand sound truly resonate.

Give it a try the next time you go to karaoke with friends or coworkers—it’s sure to bring the house down!

Purple Skymitsu

Honey – Purple Sky

This is a heart-wrenching song released on October 3, 2012 by the male-female vocal duo Mitsu.

Its acoustic, warm sound is layered with soft vocal melodies, creating a track that could make you cry if you let your guard down.

If someone sang this at karaoke, I might end up in tears.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan

Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

This track, Suki-cchew no!, which could be considered a sequel to HoneyWorks’ smash hit I’m Sorry, I’m So Cute, once again features voice actor–artist Saori Hayami performing as “Chu-tan.” From the chorus that repeatedly chants the title to the hook that sticks in your head after just one listen, its addictive appeal is fully intact.

At the same time, the midsection is captivating too, revealing the inner conflict you can sense beneath Chu-tan’s confident persona.

When you sing it at karaoke, try fully becoming Chu-tan and deliver it with a deliberately cutesy yet endearing vibe!

Bunny GirlAKASAKI

[AKASAKI] Bunny Girl (Lyric Video)

To aim for a perfect 100, women don’t necessarily have to sing songs by female artists.

That’s why I recommend Bunny Girl.

It’s the well-known classic by AKASAKI.

Although the song is noted for its light, breezy melody, it surprisingly has a very narrow vocal range—among the narrowest even in Japanese pop.

The vocal line is also gently contoured with little variation, so as long as you set the right key, it should be easy to shoot for 100.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
