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.

Nisshoku Natsuko is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity as a piano-playing vocalist.

She’s not an artist with an extremely low voice, but she does have a nicely relaxed lower register.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.

The section where the chorus builds in voltage and then drops suddenly into a low part really brings out the allure of a low voice.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

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!

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.

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.

In the contemporary Japanese music scene, most popular artists have high-pitched voices.

However, Yorushika is different.

Suis, the vocalist of Yorushika, has a comparatively low voice for a popular artist, and many of their songs are easy to sing for women with lower vocal ranges.

Among them, “Taiyō” (The Sun) particularly emphasizes the lower register, and because the vocal lines are kept simple, the song is structured to be very easy to sing from start to finish.

TOMOO’s songs gently embrace the worries shared by everyone living in modern society.

This heartwarming piece expresses the feelings of people whose individuality can’t be contained by social molds, symbolized through a super ball.

Its message—encouraging the courage to affirm your true self and the importance of embracing diversity—resonates deeply.

Released in September 2023 as a track on the album “TWO MOON,” it was also selected as the theme song for ABEMA Prime starting in April 2024.

It’s a song that gently yet powerfully supports those who want to cherish their uniqueness or who are introverted and struggle with self-confidence.

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!
