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
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.
Anytime Anywheremilet
This is a digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.
It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” The song features a very dramatic arrangement at a medium-to-slow tempo.
In particular, the rich lower-register vocals heard in sections like the first verse make it a great choice for women with lower voices to try and recreate at karaoke.
The mixed voice to falsetto singing used in the chorus is also something to aim to reproduce; however, if you’re not confident, please lower the key at karaoke to suit your range.
Ordinary daysmilet
This is a song by milet that was chosen as the theme for the drama “Police in a Pod,” and many of you may have heard it.
The way milet sings in this track resonates with higher overtones very effectively, and women who struggle with high notes might think, “There’s no way I can sing this!” But don’t be afraid—give it a try.
As milet herself does, if you blend in head voice and mixed voice for the chorus and other high sections, you should be fine.
In fact, what’s more important in performing this song isn’t so much “Can you hit the high notes?” as it is the vocal expression that comes from switching between those techniques.
When using head voice or mixed voice, be careful not to tighten your throat.
white mayflyAimer
This is Aimer’s 23rd single overall, released in December 2023.
By the way, the title is pronounced “Shiroiro Kagerou.” It’s a very pleasant ballad where Aimer’s slightly husky voice—rich in warm low-order overtones—sounds absolutely beautiful.
The most important thing for singing this well at karaoke is to avoid rushing; try to sing slightly behind the beat.
Pay close attention to the spacing between phrases and words—in other words, how you handle the rests.
There are a few spots in the chorus that require a bit of a higher register, but try not to strain your throat; imagine placing the sound against your upper palate as you sing.
In Love with the Mirrorraisan
The band Raisan was formed mainly by Sayaka from the comedy duo Rarando and Enon Kawatani.
Although the group consists of members with unconventional backgrounds, they’re far from a novelty act and are highly regarded by critics for their sophisticated musicality.
Their new song, “Kagami ni Koishite” (“In Love with the Mirror”), stands out as a relatively bright tune for Raisan, who are known for their downer-tinged sound.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide; the A melody, in particular, will highlight the charm of women with lower voices.
If you use a vocal technique called “fall,” it instantly gives the delivery a Western pop feel, so be sure to master this technique and give it a try.
GoodbyeGAO
GAO’s second single, released in April 1992.
GAO’s voice is thick and husky, with a cool quality that can make you think for a moment, “Is this a male vocal?” at first listen.
This song is crafted to fully showcase GAO’s unique tone and expressive singing, and I think there’s a lot here that will be useful for women aiming for a unisex vocal style.
That said, I sometimes have female students who admire GAO’s sound and try to deliberately roughen their voices—please don’t do that.
Revolutionary Journey – On the WayAina ji Endo
Since Aina the End is famous for her husky voice, I imagine some low-voiced women have included her songs in their repertoire.
“Kakumei Dōchū – On The Way” has great tempo and is a really cool track! There’s a call-and-response section in the A-melody, and it seems like it would be a blast at karaoke—perfect for getting the crowd going—so I’d love for low-voiced women to try singing it! The chorus mainly sits on higher notes, reaching up to C5, but sing boldly without fear—project your voice as if you’re sending it far, and add some drive.
If you can get through this part, you’ll definitely level up!
