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 (101–110)

SCOPEAimer

Aimer 「SCOPE」Lyric Video
SCOPEAimer

Aimer is a female singer-songwriter known for her distinctive husky voice.

Because she’s an artist whose lower register is also appealing, many women with low voices may already have her songs in their repertoire.

Among Aimer’s tracks, I especially recommend “SCOPE.” While it has a strong rock character, its vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and even the chorus stays within the lower-mid to mid range.

There aren’t any complex pitch jumps either, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – 「SNOW DANCE」
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.

For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.

Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.

Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.

Give it a try for reference.

Dear My FriendEvery Little Thing

「Dear My Friend 」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing
Dear My FriendEvery Little Thing

When it comes to singing this song, the tempo sits in a comfortable medium-to-upbeat range, and the melodic range isn’t very wide, so I think even those who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to sing.

However, there are a few spots in the D section that require some higher notes, and the final chorus modulates and goes up in key, so please be careful with the karaoke key settings.

Overall, as long as you keep a good groove and avoid dragging the rhythm, you’ll be fine!

ReceiptVIDA Hollywood

VIDA Hollywood – Receipt(Lyric Video)
ReceiptVIDA Hollywood

VIDA Hollywood is a four-member music group.

As you’d expect from a unit formed by members who graduated from American music schools, their style is sophisticated and close to Western pop.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Receipt.” It has an R&B flavor; while there are a few high notes that verge on falsetto, the song overall sits in the low-to-mid to mid vocal range, so even women with lower voices can sing it with ease.

Capsuleaiko

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.

BEST POSITIVElecca

lecca / For You from BEST ALBUM 『BEST POSITIVE』
BEST POSITIVElecca

Lecca, who was active as a reggae singer in the late 2000s, has a low vocal register that gives her a distinctive richness uncommon among Japanese artists.

Women who were in their late teens or twenties back then and are now in their thirties probably have a few of her songs in their repertoire.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is BEST POSITIVE.

The reggae elements are subtle here, and the album is arranged as easy-to-sing pop throughout.

With its narrow vocal range and mid-tempo pace, it should be effortless for women with lower voices to sing.

This is a poignant, ballad-style song that captures the feeling of carefully nurturing a small glimmer of hope.

It delicately portrays deep emotions and inner conflict toward a loved one, as well as the warm light felt within that relationship.

milet’s expressive artistry and translucent vocals gently resonate with listeners.

Chosen as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “Anti-Hero,” this track showcases the unique expressive power that only milet—who has produced numerous acclaimed works including the album “eyes”—can deliver.

Its melody beautifully conveys subtle emotional shifts, making it a perfect fit for singers with a powerful voice.

Perform it at karaoke, and you’re sure to turn heads!
