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 (91–100) where low-voiced women can showcase their charm
366 daysHY
This song is included on HY’s fifth album, HeartY, which was released on April 16, 2008.
It was selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama and Toho-distributed film Akai Ito (The Red Thread).
The lead vocals on this track are by member Izumi Nakasone, a singer known for her captivatingly rich low register, and I believe the charm of her voice is showcased to the fullest in this simple, quiet ballad.
When you sing it at karaoke, I encourage you to try to recreate this ‘depth of voice.’ Practice so you can resonate a solid chest voice while you sing!
love’s proofKōda Kumi
This is Kumi Koda’s 35th single, released in March 2007.
The title is pronounced “Aishō.” By the way, this single was released as a double A-side with a song called “BUT.” It also served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Ai no Rukenchi.” Since it’s a track by Kumi Koda, whose appeal includes her somewhat wild, low-register voice, it should be easy to sing even for women who struggle with high notes—or rather, it might be a selection that really lets their voices shine.
There are parts in the chorus that feature high notes using falsetto effectively, so ideally, it’s best if you can switch registers smoothly there.
Of course, changing the key is also a valid approach.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
It was Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single, released in July 1993.
It served as the theme song for the drama “Dare ni mo Ienai,” the sequel to the much-talked-about series “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which became a hot topic thanks to the character Fuyuhiko.
Speaking of Yuming, she’s known for a rich, low-register vocal style that never sounds like she’s straining, and that appeal is on full display in this song as well.
In a sense, it could be seen as a model example of a female vocal that doesn’t rely on high notes as its selling point.
While I think it’s very difficult to recreate her unique atmosphere when singing it at karaoke, the range itself is easy for anyone to handle, so I hope you’ll enjoy it in your own expressive way.
Musically, it’s a pretty cool track that incorporates a slightly Latin-flavored rhythm and melody.
impulseGLIM SPANKY
GLIM SPANKY is a duo popular for their distinctive husky vocals and decadent melodies.
For women with a narrower vocal range, they might be one of the top bands with many easy-to-sing songs.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Shōdō” (Impulse).
There’s a falsetto part in the pre-chorus, but it’s simply a section that could be sung in chest voice performed in falsetto by choice, so it shouldn’t pose a problem.
I think dropping the key by about one semitone from your ideal key will make it easiest to sing, so please use that as a reference.
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.
RespectAI
AI’s 31st digital-only single, released in May 2023.
AI is well known for her captivating low-register voice, and this track is truly an ideal choice for women who want to showcase the full appeal of their own low tones.
With its distinctive hip-hop-inspired arrangement, make sure you really feel the beat of the backing track and be careful not to let your singing become monotonous as you take on the challenge.
Also remember to use a chest voice that resonates firmly in the thoracic cavity.
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!
