Female vocal songs where women with low voices can shine
In Japan, where a high voice is often considered “good,” the reason originally lies in the country’s agrarian roots.
To communicate by voice with farmers working at a distance, a higher, more intelligible pitch was more convenient; thus, in Japan and other agrarian Asian societies, people with higher voices have traditionally been preferred.
However, when it comes to singing, higher is not always better!
In fact, lower voices have overwhelming advantages in overtones and resonance.
So this time, we’ve picked out songs that bring out the maximum charm of women with lower voices!
Of course, we also selected them with karaoke appeal in mind, so if you’re a woman with a drinking party or group date coming up, this is a must-see.

Female vocal songs (61–70) where women with low voices can shine
HeavenRei
Right now, the female artist drawing the most attention from critics and hardcore music fans is Rei.
She’s a guitarist and singer-songwriter whose long years abroad give her a complex musicality not often found in Japanese pop.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Heaven.
It features a downer-tinged melody and is sung within a narrow vocal range throughout.
Because vocal thickness—such as rich overtones—is crucial, it’s a track where women with lower voices can really play to their strengths.
Kiss the windGLIM SPANKY
GLIM SPANKY is a two-piece rock band gaining attention across generations for their husky-voiced female vocalist.
While the husky tone often stands out, she is also a low-register female singer.
Their song “Kaze ni Kiss wo Shite” is a must-recommend for low-voiced women.
With its relatively narrow range and catchy vocal lines, it lets you emphasize the low notes well despite its low difficulty.
It’s a must-listen for low-voiced women who want to sing a bright, upbeat track!
UFOpinku redii
Released in December 1977 as the sixth single by Pink Lady, the superstar idol duo of the ’70s.
It’s also the unit’s biggest hit.
Compared to Mie’s relatively cute, clear voice, Kei’s is lower and fuller, making Pink Lady’s songs—this one included—great picks for women who are good at singing low notes in karaoke.
The melody is extremely simple and easy to remember, which is characteristic of hits from that era.
While the two members of Pink Lady are highly skilled vocalists, this is a song that’s easy for anyone to sing.
If you can, learn the choreography too and enjoy it with everyone!
PLAYERSYOASOBI
This song was created to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, with a theme centered around gaming.
Listening to it, you can really feel that distinctive YOASOBI style.
The chorus sits around E5, so the range is quite high, but there are constant call-and-response shouts in the backing vocals, which makes it nice because you can catch your breath while singing! That chorus is super cute and makes you want to dance, so it seems like it would hype up a live show too! When you sing it, enunciate clearly so the phrases don’t blur together—doing so will make it easier to hear and easier to sing.
Pay attention to your diction!
Lonely Tropical FishWink
Wink’s fifth single, released in July 1989.
Perhaps because Wink themselves had such a strong idol-unit vibe, the relaxed, unforced singing style here is used to great effect.
At the time of this release, Eurobeat and dance-beat styles were gaining momentum, and I think the songwriting—layering an easy-to-sing melody with a touch of wistfulness that appeals to Japanese listeners over those arrangements—is superb.
Overall, it feels very much like a “professional job” in crafting a hit song.
And of course, even women who aren’t comfortable with high notes can enjoy singing it at karaoke with confidence!
hugiri
A single by iri released in January 2024.
It was apparently written specifically as the CM song for JR East’s “JR SKISKI.” Laid over a backing track crafted as a piano ballad that makes you feel wonderfully at ease just by listening, iri’s deep, expressively nuanced vocals sound incredibly compelling.
To recreate this in karaoke, being able to produce a rich, low register is essential! In other words, if you’re a woman who excels at lower notes, there’s no reason not to sing this one.
There are also sections—especially around the chorus—where the vocals go high in falsetto, so practice singing those as softly and smoothly as possible.
Flower of loveaimyon
This is Aimyon’s 14th single, released in June 2023.
The song features a laid-back, medium-tempo feel that really highlights Aimyon’s slightly husky vocals.
For a female vocal piece, it uses relatively low notes, especially in the A-melody sections, so it could be a great fit for lower-voiced women to fully showcase their vocal charm.
Be careful in the low register: if the sound vibrates directly in the throat, the resonance won’t be beautiful, so practice to sing solidly with chest voice.
There are also many sections in the chorus and elsewhere that require mixed voice to falsetto, so it might be a slightly advanced choice—but it’s definitely a song I’d encourage lower-voiced women to take on.
