Singer-songwriter miwa, who grew up immersed in music under her family’s influence, made her major debut while still in high school.

The track “Tsuki ga Kirei Desu ne” from her EP Wish Upon the Moon, released on November 15, 2023, lingers in the ears with its piano- and strings-driven ensemble and melodies that evoke a sense of traditional Japanese aesthetics.

The title and lyrics, inspired by an anecdote about the famed novelist Natsume Soseki, convey a refined beauty.

It’s a lyrical ballad whose delicate arrangement resonates deeply with the heart.

This song, brimming with the pop vibe characteristic of singer-songwriter asmi, was released in 2023.

It also drew attention because the lyrics and composition were handled by Hidefumi Kenmochi, known for his work with Wednesday Campanella.

The lyrics portray the feelings of a woman who has fallen for a man who already has a partner—something many listeners may find relatable.

While the words depict a rather complicated emotional state, the track itself is extremely poppy and approachable.

Koresawa, a female singer-songwriter known for lyrics that stir romantic feelings, has gained widespread popularity.

If you’re a woman in your twenties, chances are you’ve sung or listened to her songs at least once.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Uwaki Shitara Akan de” (“Don’t You Dare Cheat”).

Although it has a pop feel, it actually has a very narrow vocal range, making it easy for any woman to sing.

And because each phrase is short, you won’t miss your cue after taking a breath.

Singer-songwriter Noashi, who has gained popularity with her offbeat melodies and lyrics that resonate strongly with women.

She’s known for her genreless musical style, releasing songs with a different vibe from her previous work each time.

Speaking of her signature tracks, wouldn’t it be “Hatsukoi Killer” (First Love Killer)? While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.

The vocals incorporate some rap, and because the range is very narrow, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

AIMYON – Sketch [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Aimyon’s new song “Sketch.” Until a little while ago, she was releasing many slightly showy tracks that incorporated trendy J-pop, but lately she’s returned to her roots and has been focusing on folk.

This work is no exception, crafted into a gentle folk song that plays to her greatest strengths.

The vocal range is somewhat wide, but aside from a few phrases that use falsetto, it stays mostly in the midrange, making it very easy to sing overall.

It’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke.
