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 (21–30)
DesireDo As Infinity
Do As Infinity’s seventh single, released in January 2001.
The unit’s singer, Tomiko Van, has a robust, cool voice with a very appealing lower register.
In today’s music scene, where high-pitched songs dominate, this might be a style that’s rarely released as new material.
It’s a song I’d love to hear women who like rock and are strong in the low range sing.
The single falsetto line that appears around the highest note of the chorus—where the voice suddenly breathes out lightly—forms a striking and very effective contrast with her low, resonant vocal tone.
Child of the devilHiguchi Ai
This is singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi’s 10th digital-only single, released in January 2022.
It was reportedly written as the ending theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2.
Higuchi, who performs the song, has a very compelling low voice, and you can fully enjoy its richness especially in the so-called A-melody sections.
However, the vocal melody has some quirky elements, and the chorus includes many parts that require singing high notes in falsetto, making it a somewhat advanced choice.
Still, it’s a song I’d love to see women with confident, low-register voices take on.
As mentioned, the vocal lines and the song’s structure include some challenging aspects, so be sure to study the original thoroughly before singing.
Angel’s RestHisamatsu Fumina
Fumina Hisamatsu’s fifth single, released in November 1992.
This may sound a bit colloquial, but Hisamatsu is a really cool singer with a solid, rock-like, powerful voice.
That said, it’s not a stereotypically masculine tone; it still works beautifully as a female vocal, which is wonderful.
In this song too, her voice and delivery mesh perfectly with the rock-arranged, highly pop-leaning melody.
It’s a track I’d love to see all the rock-loving ladies sing.
Dinner Songtuki.
This is tuki.’s debut single, released in September 2023.
It’s a track where the simple arrangement that highlights the acoustic sound and tuki.’s emotionally rich vocals are a perfect match.
To sing the A-melody and B-melody parts beautifully, a deep, low register is essential! So I’d especially recommend it at karaoke for women who are good at lower notes.
That said, the vocal melody spans a fairly wide range, so be sure to practice smoothly switching from chest voice to falsetto in the high sections, such as the chorus.
youKōda Kumi
Kumi Koda’s 19th single, released in December 2005.
Kumi Koda is also a singer whose appeal lies in her slightly husky, lower-register-heavy voice.
From my perspective as a vocal coach, her low notes aren’t necessarily beautifully resonant in a textbook sense, which does catch my attention a bit.
However, looking at the overall completeness of the track, I think it fully brings out Kumi Koda’s charm as a singer.
It reminds you that music production isn’t about following the rulebook to the letter—that’s part of what makes it interesting.
It’s also a song I can confidently recommend as a karaoke pick for low-voiced women, so by all means, sing it and have fun.
foreignerKUBOTA Saki
It was Saki Kubota’s debut single, released in October 1979.
She seems to have been 21 at the time, but even at that young age her mature voice and confident singing could be called astonishing.
The high notes in the section where the song shifts to a major key are great, but her richly resonant low register is especially captivating.
The song features a somewhat oriental-tinged, continental melody and arrangement—as suggested by its subtitle, “Theme of the Silk Road”—and I think its vividly cinematic expression is outstanding.
DiamondPRINCESS PRINCESS
Princess Princess (hereafter, PuriPuri) released their 7th single in April 1989.
It became a huge hit, reaching the top of the Oricon charts.
Vocalist Kaori Okui had always had a slightly husky quality to her voice since their debut, but around the previous single, “Let’s Get Crazy,” the band’s rock flavor grew stronger, and along with that, their songwriting seemed to fully leverage Okui’s huskiness.
In a sense, you could say this song completed the quintessential PuriPuri sound.
It’s also very easy to sing as a karaoke pick, and since there aren’t any extreme high notes, it’s recommended for women who find high pitches difficult.
