[Calling all lower-voiced women in their 40s!] Karaoke-friendly songs (51–60)
I can hear humming.Kahimi Karie
Kahimi Karie is a female singer whose music, centered on genres like neo-lounge and Shibuya-kei, gained popularity in certain circles.
If you were a fashionable Shibuya-kei gal in your early 40s at the time, there’s a good chance you know her.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Humming ga Kikoeru (“I Can Hear Humming”).
It’s a very stylish work with great taste, but the vocal lines are simple and mostly sung in a whisper.
The range is narrow as well, so as long as you adjust to a suitable key, anyone can sing it easily.
My pager doesn’t beep anymoreKunitake Mari
Mari Kunitake, who was active as a singer and model.
She’s what you might call a one-hit wonder, but many people probably still remember her.
Speaking of her hit song, of course it has to be “Pokeberu ga Naranakute” (“My Pager Doesn’t Ring”).
Released as the theme song for a drama of the same name, this piece is arranged as a ballad, with a vocal line that has little fluctuation and is very easy to sing.
Many of you likely watched the drama at the time, so consider adding this song to your repertoire.
Fade OutKoizumi Kyoko
Among those in their early 50s, many may have admired Kyoko Koizumi’s looks and personality.
In that case, I recommend Fade Out.
This work is characterized by the heavy synthesizers that were common in the late ’80s.
You might perceive it as dance music, but the vocal line is gentle, like a blend of kayōkyoku and jazz, so it should be easy to sing.
The very long rests also make it easy to perform.
Tokyo at 7 p.m.Pizzicato Five
Pizzicato Five, often called the pioneers of the Shibuya-kei scene.
Their signature is dance pop infused with house, delivering a stylish sound that pairs catchy hooks with an edgy flair.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Tokyo wa Yoru no Shichiji (Tokyo at 7 p.m.).
Since it’s dance music, you might think the rhythm is tricky, but house is based on a four-on-the-floor beat—the easiest kind to follow—so there’s no need to worry.
The vocal line rises and falls gently, and the overall range is quite narrow, meaning anyone, regardless of their voice type, can sing it lightly and confidently.

Don’t give upZARD
ZARD is a band that energized the Japanese music scene from the late 1990s to the 2000s with catchy, straightforward J-pop.
Even after the passing of their frontwoman, Izumi Sakai, their many famous songs continue to be cherished by countless fans.
Among ZARD’s catalog, the one I especially recommend is “Makenaide.” While the song stays within a relatively narrow vocal range overall, a slightly higher section appears just before the end of the chorus.
Since this high note is extremely brief—less than a second—if you find it difficult to hit, I recommend intentionally raising the key and singing that part in falsetto.
Let me stay for the night.Kobayashi Sachiko
It’s a classic Showa-era kayokyoku that has an enka flavor, with striking rock-style guitar solos and riffs.
“Hitoban Tometene,” released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1985, was composed by Katsuhiko Miki, who also worked on one of Kobayashi’s signature songs, “Moshikashite.” The overall key is on the lower side, and it’s the kind of song that expresses a sultry melody through the appeal of the low register, so it’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes.
The enka-style kobushi (ornamental turns) and vibrato are kept to a minimum, making it a great piece for beginners to enka to try!
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.
For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.
Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.
Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.
Give it a try for reference.
