Singer-songwriter AI has an irresistibly rich, expressive voice, doesn’t she? Beyond the allure of her singing itself, we can’t overlook the warmth of the lyrics she writes and the heartfelt messages they carry.

She’s overflowing with appeal, and her breathy delivery leaves a strong impression—the slightly raspy tone deepens the emotional expressiveness of her songs.

Her husky, cool, and at times powerful voice makes these tracks a must-listen for anyone who loves husky vocals.

Since her debut in 2004, singer JUJU has steadily delivered hit songs and become a staple of J-pop.

In Japan, her name recognition is immense; thanks to tie-ins with TV dramas and commercials, most people have heard her voice at least once.

While many of her songs are dramatic and moving to the point of tears, what stands out most is her one-of-a-kind voice—both clear and husky.

Utada Hikaru is undoubtedly a Japanese songstress.

She studied music in the United States during her childhood, and her singing—making use of that Western-style laid-back groove—is incredibly cool and captivating.

Wouldn’t you say her voice could also be described as husky? It’s not an overtly raspy type of huskiness, but her breathy, slightly hoarse tone is distinctive.

She has an attractive vocal range too, from rich, resonant lows to powerful highs.

Ayaka Hirahara is a singer with a captivating voice that seems to soar endlessly.

Her breakout song, Jupiter, is a cover of a classical piece, and what’s especially cool is how flawlessly she delivers the low-key opening.

She’s a musician who captivates not with high notes but with her lower register.

Those low parts have a richness—almost a husky quality—that’s truly appealing, so I hope you’ll listen carefully right from the very beginning.

Her appeal lies in a style that blends not just rock but hints of jazz as well.

With a slightly raspy tone, her voice carries a unique resonance from low to high notes that is incredibly alluring.

That very voice is her signature, and it’s fair to say it’s the identity of the sexy, cool Ringo.
