Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s. A collection of classics that are great to listen to and great to sing (21–30)
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO’s hit song “Ashita mo.” The key change in the chorus feels incredibly satisfying, and thanks to its exhilarating vibe, this J-rock number gained popularity nationwide.
The vocal range is standard, spanning mid1F# to hiC.
The highest note, hiC, appears frequently in the chorus, so it’s a song that requires a bit of stamina.
If it feels tough, try lowering the key.
If the lowest notes are hard to hit, you can alternatively shift them up to around mid1G#.
It’s a track that’s sure to hype up any J-rock fan, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Delusional scriptwriting activityasmi
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.

I love youuu!HoneyWorks feat. chū-tan
The song “Sukicchu-no!” by HoneyWorks and Chu-tan.
Compared to the previous track “Kawaikute Gomen,” this one tones down the cutesy, coquettish elements and overall delivers a more traditionally girly vibe.
The vocal range is mid2B to hiC, which is slightly high for a typical female vocal piece, but since the song shines through breath work—like breaths and consonants—to enhance its charm, the overall difficulty is on the lower side.
It’s a track that’s sure to be a hit among girls or at mixers.
shameless; indecentchanmina
Currently drawing attention after being targeted with a diss by NENE, the female rapper Chanmina.
Her track “HARENCHI” is a masterpiece that showcases her wide musical range.
In this song, the lowest note is mid1 E, which is on the lower side for a female track, but the highest note is hi B, so the overall range is relatively narrow.
Therefore, as long as you adjust the key, most women should be able to sing it without issue.
The song carries a languid vibe throughout, making the vocal technique known as “fall” particularly important.
You’ll likely learn this technique faster by referencing Western music rather than J‑pop, so while working on this track, listen to Western R&B as well to build your repertoire of falls.
Sketchaimyon
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.
Don’t cheat on me.Koresawa
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.
snakeYorushika
Yorushika is a music duo that captures the hearts of young people with a wide musical range, from ennui-tinged tracks to pop songs.
Any woman in her twenties probably knows them, don’t you think? Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Hebi (Snake).
This piece is among the narrower vocal-range works in Yorushika’s catalog, with a vocal line that remains relatively even throughout.
There are also few long sustained notes and a fair number of rests, making it possible to aim for high scores even if your fundamental singing ability isn’t very strong.
