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 where lower-voiced women can shine (71–80)
Futabaaimyon
This is Aimyon’s fourth digital-only single, released on March 24, 2022.
It was released as the theme song for NHK’s “Aimyon 18 Festival.” Aimyon is a highly compelling singer with a slightly husky voice, and that vocal quality shines through in this track as well.
In particular, the slightly relaxed delivery heard in the A melody, which is centered on the lower register, helps create a clear contrast with the brighter, more resonant vocals in the latter half of the B melody through the chorus, adding dynamic contour to the song.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s 37th single, released in July 2000.
It was created as the theme song for NHK’s popular program “Project X,” which was a hot topic for a time.
As for Nakajima’s vocals, it’s true you won’t hear extreme high notes, and her voice could be described as attractively rich in the lower register.
But in her case, more than anything else, it’s fair to say the real appeal lies in her one-of-a-kind, distinctive vocal expression itself.
I do think it’s an easy song for women who struggle with high notes to sing at karaoke, but if you go for an imitation-style delivery, it might come off a bit comical, so that’s something to be careful about when performing it.
Of course, presenting it explicitly as an impression/impersonation bit is also an option (lol).
I want to protect youMatsutōya Yumi
This is Yumi Matsutoya’s 17th single, released in June 1981.
It was written at the request of producer Haruki Kadokawa as the theme song for the Kadokawa film “Nerawareta Gakuen,” which was released the same year.
It’s such a classic of Showa-era New Music that it almost needs no introduction! The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, so I feel it’s an easy song for anyone to pick for karaoke—not just those who are strong in the lower register.
That said, the A-melody sections in particular are great parts for low-voiced women to showcase the charm of their vocals, so please give it a try.
Yuming’s songs are known for their distinctive vocal delivery, so it could also be fun to lean into an impression-style approach when you sing!
A Naked Heartaimyon
This is Aimyon’s 10th major single, released in June 2020.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” Given that Aimyon’s songs feature her charmingly simple, conversational vocal style, there are hardly any parts that demand extreme high notes.
So even those who struggle with high pitches will likely find it relatively easy to sing.
Choosing a key that feels comfortable is fine, but right before the chorus, where the chest voice goes a bit higher, I think pushing a little and belting it out will make it sound even better.
Even if you don’t quite hit every note, it’s perfectly fine to just go for it!
escalateAimer
Aimer is a singer-songwriter who debuted in 2011.
She’s also known for contributing many theme songs for films, TV dramas, and anime.
In particular, Zankyo Sanka, the opening theme for Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc, topped numerous music charts.
One of her charms is how dramatically her style changes from song to song—sometimes delivering intense tracks, other times tender ballads.
Be sure to listen to several of her songs and enjoy the contrast.
I’m falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi
The original song is by Billy BanBan, and the version I’m introducing here is a cover by Fuyumi Sakamoto.
It was released in January 2009 as her 37th single.
While the song doesn’t demand extremely high notes like the theme of this article might suggest, singing it as she does still requires considerable vocal skill.
Not only solid vocal projection, but expressive techniques like kobushi (ornamentation), as well as an understanding of the lyrics, are important when performing it.
That said, it’s a song I’d definitely recommend to those who may struggle with high notes but are confident in their singing!
The True Face of the StormKudō Shizuka
It’s Shizuka Kudo’s seventh single, released in May 1989.
Since Kudo has a voice that’s particularly appealing in the lower register, the song doesn’t require any extreme high notes throughout.
So even women who aren’t comfortable with high pitches should be able to sing it well.
However, conveying that touch of cuteness within a low voice can be tricky, so don’t underestimate it just because the range seems easy.
When you sing it, try to pay close attention to capturing the original song’s vibe as faithfully as possible!
