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.

A streaming-only single by Aimyon released in February 2020.

Aimyon is also a singer whose charm lies in her low voice, so it’s highly recommended for women with lower ranges to pick for karaoke.

“Sayonara no Kyou ni” is mid-tempo and very easy to sing, so even those who feel a bit insecure about singing will probably be able to handle it fairly smoothly.

That said, if you just breeze through it, there’s a risk the song will sound very flat, so you could say it’s a piece where expressiveness matters more than vocal range.

Especially in the chorus, I think it’s good to focus on singing powerfully.

Be mindful of how you build excitement over the course of the song, and try singing with that in mind beforehand.

This is Aimyon’s second single, released in May 2017.

While many female vocalists tend to stand out with frequent use of high tones, she’s a wonderful singer whose charm lies in her mid-to-low range.

Because of that, her songs are easier to sing for those who feel unsure about their high notes, and they may be especially approachable for women who struggle with hitting high pitches.

The song has a slightly bouncy rhythm, so try to feel the groove with your body as you sing to keep the energy lively.

Having a low voice doesn’t mean you can’t produce falsetto at all.

In fact, many people can manage falsetto just fine; it’s just mixed voice that feels harder.

With that in mind, I recommend Hikaru Utada’s classic “Flavor Of Life.” Among Utada’s songs, this one features some of the deepest low notes.

The A melody, which is very low and brimming with allure, will enhance the charm of women in their 30s with low voices.

The chorus brings in falsetto several times, but it’s not extremely high, nor does it require much volume, so if you can produce a normal falsetto, it shouldn’t pose a challenge.

Oneway GenerationHonda Minako

Minako Honda, who made a dazzling transformation from idol singer to musical theater star.

Since her debut in 1985, she shone on the idol scene while also taking on classical music and musicals, showcasing activities that transcended genres.

She successfully held her first concert at the Nippon Budokan and, in 1988, formed the female rock band MINAKO with WILD CATS.

In her debut year, she won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist, earning high acclaim for her talent.

Chosen from 12,000 candidates to play Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, she captivated audiences with her outstanding vocal ability and expressive power.

As a songstress who combines a powerful voice with graceful poise, she is highly recommended for those seeking music of the highest quality.

StoryAI

AI’s 12th single, released in May 2005.

As you’d expect from AI, who’s known for her husky voice, this is a perfect karaoke pick for women who are strong in the lower register.

But working on this feature of “female vocal songs that are easy to sing even for women who struggle with high notes or have lower voices” really drives home how singers who don’t rely on high notes are all incredibly skilled with rich vocal expression! This song is no exception—it’s definitely quite a challenging piece to actually sing.

I think it’s also an ideal track to use as practice material for improving expressive ability.

This is Aimyon’s third major-label single, released in August 2017.

Aimyon is a very compelling singer with a slightly boyish vocal tone, and I think the charm of her voice is brought out to the fullest in this track with its simple, medium-to-slow tempo production.

In particular, the vocal melody in the opening A section makes frequent use of notes that are quite low for a female vocalist, so you could even say it’s a special privilege for women with lower voices to be able to sing this in karaoke! Not just for karaoke—this is also a great pick for lower-voiced women to enjoy covering with acoustic guitar or in a band.

Miyuna is a female singer-songwriter gaining attention in pop music influenced by Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

She’s an artist with a strong R&B flavor.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend for low-voice women is Kikoe ru made.

The beginning has an R&B vibe, while the chorus has a distinctly J-pop finish.

Although it doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, the track emphasizes the lower register, making it an excellent match for women with lower voices.
