Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s: A collection of classics that are great to listen to and great to sing (31–40)
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.
vip?Nisshoku Natsuko
Nisshoku Natsuko is known as a singer-songwriter who accompanies herself on piano.
Her appeal lies in a worldview that, while grounded in lyrics that feel like slices of everyday life, also carries a touch of Ghibli-like fantasy in its melodies.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.
It’s a very languid piece with a fairly narrow vocal range; although there are many long tones in the vocal line, the pitch movement itself is gently contoured.
It’s basically an easy song, but the voltage rises a bit in the C section, so be sure to carefully determine the appropriate key.
fortnighteill
Singer-songwriter eill, who has gained popularity for her sophisticated musicality, draws influence from overseas music and is known for her smooth vocal lines that are uncommon in J-pop.
Among her works, the track I especially recommend is “fortnight.” Since it incorporates elements of Western music, it takes a bit of skill to lock into the groove; however, the vocal line itself has a narrow range and gentle contours, making it undeniably easy to sing.
The dust on the shade extendszutto mayonaka de ii no ni.
ZUTOMAYO is a band that enjoys overwhelming support from listeners in their teens and early twenties.
They specialize in songs that blend catchiness with emotional depth, and among those, the track I especially recommend is Shade no Hoko-ri wa Enchō (The Dust of the Shade Extends).
It features a large number of mixed-voice sections and very few rests, so it demands strong stamina and precise pitch control in the high range.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
I’m leaving tonight.22/7
22/7, the digital idol unit produced by Yasushi Akimoto, has released their 11th single, “I’m Leaving Tonight.” The song centers on the theme of sneaking out of the house late at night, portraying the inner conflicts unique to adolescence and a growing sense of optimism.
Listeners in their teens and twenties may find it especially relatable.
Be sure to check it out along with the music video, where the characters move fluidly—their expressions also convey the song’s message.

PSYCHOFurui Riho
“PSYCHO,” released in August 2023 by Hokkaido-born singer-songwriter Furui Riho.
The lyrics feel like a secret confession of thoughts she wouldn’t usually say out loud, and although the song explores a slightly dark-side mood, its R&B flavor turns it into a danceable track that makes your body want to move.
The cool image that’s one of Furui Riho’s trademarks fits the song perfectly.
The music video is also cute, so be sure to watch it together.
Sukitchu no! (feat. Kapi)HONEY WORKS
HoneyWorks is a creator unit gaining attention through internet-centered activities such as TikTok and YouTube.
Their 2023 release “Sukicchu-no!” is a song that portrays a girl’s honest feelings of love.
Saori Hayami, who sang the viral SNS hit “Kawaikute Gomen,” serves as the vocalist, and as part of a collaboration project, Kapi also performs a vocal version.
Set to a rhythmic band arrangement, it’s a love song that strings together words of affection for one’s oshi (favorite idol/person).
