Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s. A collection of masterpieces that are great to listen to and great to sing (41–50)
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.

First Love Killernozomi
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 While the song carries a slightly retro, Showa-era feel, its fresh production keeps it from sounding outdated.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.
CinderellaTomei
Singer-songwriter TOMEI, who drew attention after being selected as the lead vocalist for the theme song of the animated film Suzume, has been in the spotlight.
Her debut single, Ashen Cinderella, also made waves for being produced by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS.
Her beautiful yet aggressive vocals riding over a dark track can make you feel emotions surging into you just by listening.
With its dramatic progression that hints at exceptional talent, it’s a gem of a pop tune.
P.S.Ikuta Rira
Lila Ikuta, a singer-songwriter also active as the vocalist of YOASOBI and praised for her crystal-clear, era-defining voice, has released her ninth digital-only single, “P.S.,” written as the theme song for the film One Second Ahead, One Second Behind.
Its dramatically unfolding beats and arrangements create a unique sonic world.
The lyrics, depicting feelings that won’t stop even if they never reach their destination, will likely resonate with many who had similar experiences in their youth.
It’s a nostalgic number that tightens the chest yet somehow leaves you with a comforting warmth.
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.
Darling Darlingyuka
Yuka is a singer-songwriter who studied piano and vocal music from a young age and continued pursuing music even after entering the workforce, ultimately making her major debut.
Her digital single “Darling Darling,” released on July 5, 2023, features a musical-style arrangement with a West Coast vibe that really sticks in your ears.
The lyrics, which portray the feelings of a woman who wants to be adorably coquettish but can’t quite pull it off, are likely to resonate with many people in relationships.
It’s a cute pop tune with a refreshing, summery sound that feels wonderfully pleasant.
Heisei Dawn GALMayumura Chiaki
Chiaki Mayumura is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity for her distinctive musical style.
Her new track, Heisei Reimei GAL, is put together with a different feel from her previous work.
In particular, the phrase leading into the chorus features a rap-like delivery, showing the breadth of her musical range.
That said, it’s by no means a gimmick track; it’s ultimately a catchy, breezy J-pop song.
How about giving it a listen as springtime driving music?
