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 (131–140)
applausechiaki naomi
This was Naomi Chiaki’s 13th single overall, released in September 1972.
It’s truly a classic of the Showa-era kayōkyoku genre.
It sold over 1.3 million copies in total, and with this song Chiaki won the Grand Prize at the 14th Japan Record Awards in 1972.
From the very beginning, Chiaki’s wonderfully alluring low voice jumps out and immediately draws the listener into the world of the song.
True to Showa-era kayōkyoku, the melody and structure are very simple compared to today’s music, making it extremely easy to sing and remember.
Of course, as fits the theme of this piece—women with low voices—it’s also a very singable number for them.
With this song, why not occasionally immerse yourself in the world of Showa-era kayōkyoku?
Super BallTOMOO
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.
ROLLiri
A digital-only single by iri released in December 2022.
When you hear iri singing this, some people might momentarily think, “Wait, is this a male singer?” just from the tone of her voice—but of course, iri is a woman! That’s why I can confidently recommend this as a karaoke pick for women with lower voices.
The vocal melody itself is relatively simple, but the key to singing this well is how faithfully you can reproduce the feel of the 16-beat groove.
I encourage you to study that aspect carefully and give it a try.
The important point is to really feel the off-beats as you sing.
purplejoōbachi
Queen Bee is a three-piece rock band that continues to command a singular presence in Japan’s music scene with overwhelming vocal ability, genre-defying songs, and dramatic live performances rooted in their own aesthetics.
While retaining an underground vibe, Queen Bee has also achieved commercial success.
Their digital single “Murasaki,” released in February 2025, reveals a new side of the band: it’s a straightforward ballad of grand scale that captivates from the very first lines.
Vocalist Avu-chan is known for a wide vocal range, but “Murasaki” is largely built around low to mid-range melodies, making it a comfortable song even for women with lower voices to sing.
On a better dayayaka
A digital-only single by Japanese female singer Ayaka, released on April 11, 2021.
Known for her highly acclaimed vocal ability, Ayaka delivers a wonderfully solid and powerful low register in this track as well.
Especially in the A melody sections, I think it’s a song that women who are good at low notes can sing with a really nice feel.
For the high notes in the chorus, you’ll need to have mastered techniques like mixed voice, so the overall difficulty of singing the song may be a bit on the higher side.
Still, I highly recommend selecting it for karaoke and giving it a try.
Night Grooveiri
A track by iri, released on August 8, 2015.
It strongly conveys influences from Black music such as hip-hop, jazz, and bossa nova, and the frequent use of rap-style vocals throughout makes it, I think, one of the best materials for showcasing the appeal of low-voiced female singers.
However, what’s most important when singing a song like this isn’t so much your singable range as how well you can reproduce the groove.
So make sure to lock in the rhythm and practice so you can clearly “sing” the rests within the melody and rap parts!
Only on nights when I want to dieAina ji Endo
Aina the End is a singer who lets us hear a very calm, captivating low register! I found her simple, unadorned tone and singing style incredibly appealing.
It’s true there are some high notes in the chorus where she uses falsetto, but don’t worry about that—just sing simply and naturally, like she does.
I think it’s one of the best choices for women with lower voices!
