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 low-voiced women can shine (81–90)
wailing in griefKudō Shizuka
Shizuka Kudo’s classic song “Dōkoku.” While Shizuka Kudo sometimes showcases an intense vocal style depending on the song, she is actually an artist with a very limited vocal range.
Among her works, this piece in particular has a notably narrow range.
Even the highest notes sit around the boundary between the middle and upper-middle register, and they appear only briefly.
In addition, the melodic movement is very gentle, so for women with lower voices, it’s actually an easy song to sing.
It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
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!
Who likes you?Sanghee
Sanghee is a female singer-songwriter who was born in South Korea and raised in Japan.
With a background of growing up in Osaka, she’s gained popularity for her highly original lyrics written in Osaka dialect.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Omae no Koto Daredesuki nan? (Who Even Likes You?).
It’s characterized by slurred, tipsy-sounding Osaka dialect and arranged as hip-hop-tinged R&B throughout.
While the vocal lines and Osaka dialect are somewhat intricate, the overall range is relatively narrow, so women from the Kansai region should have no trouble pulling it off.
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!
Capsuleaiko
Aiko’s new song “Capsule.” When you think of Aiko, you might recall her striking high-register phrases, including her falsetto, but she’s actually an artist with compelling lower tones as well.
This piece lets you savor Aiko’s lower range.
The overall range is somewhat wide, but that’s mainly because the pre-chorus sits high; the chorus, by contrast, is crafted around a low-register vocal line.
Because the chorus tends to lose volume, be mindful of enriching the overtones so you can compensate for the smaller sound with greater resonance.
Overall, the vocal line is straightforward and easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
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).
Female vocal songs (91–100) where low-voiced women can showcase their charm
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!
