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 women with low voices can shine (111–120)
AmbivalentUru
This is Uru’s ninth digital-only single overall, released in January 2024.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the second cour of the anime The Apothecary Diaries.
The production lets you fully enjoy Uru’s soft yet richly resonant vocals over a lively up-tempo groove.
Recreating that depth in karaoke is almost like a special privilege for women who are strong in the lower register, isn’t it? If your voice gets rough, it can spoil the feel of the original, so try to sing with as soft a touch as possible.
For the closing phrases at the end of each chorus, try placing the sound toward your lower jaw as you sing—you’ll likely get a deeper, better-sounding low tone.
Give it a try!

pure whiteFuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Mashiro.” Unlike most of his works, this track features little R&B influence and comes together with an overall dream-pop feel.
Notably, its vocal range is quite narrow—not just small, but shaped into a gently flowing vocal line throughout—making it very easy to sing.
For some women with lower voices, the range may be narrow enough to sing without changing the key, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
BohemianKatsuragi Yuki
This was Yuki Katsuragi’s seventh single, released in May 1983.
It’s crafted as a rock song that brings out the full appeal of Yuki Katsuragi, whose husky singing voice is so compelling.
That powerful voice could easily hold its own against male vocalists! It would also be an excellent karaoke choice for women with lower voices.
However, no matter how attractive Yuki Katsuragi’s husky tone may be, please do not try to sing in a way that deliberately damages your own voice.
Speaking as a vocal coach, I want to strongly emphasize and caution you on that point.
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.
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.
Riding on the back of a silver dragonNakajima Miyuki
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For women in their 30s, you might remember it as the theme song for the drama Dr.
Cotto.
Although the song is notable for its passionate vocal delivery, its range is surprisingly narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without issue.
The vocal line itself is simple, but because the song has fairly dramatic dynamics, be careful not to start off with too much volume.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
MermaidYuka
Singer-songwriter Yuka, who has gained popularity for her refined musical sensibilities inspired by Western music.
She has many catchy songs, but her artistry has really sharpened lately.
Her new track “Mermaid” is a piece I particularly recommend for women with lower voices.
Although it’s sung in mixed voice, it doesn’t require a belted mix, so even women with low voices may find it surprisingly singable.
The range is also narrow, so if mixed voice is challenging for you, try boldly lowering the key.
