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 (31–40)
Sweet FateUA
Released in February 1997 as UA’s seventh single.
It’s also her biggest hit, the only single she’s released to make the Oricon Top 10.
UA is known for her slightly soulful, husky, and low-toned voice, and even in this medium-slow, shuffle-beat, R&B-style track, those vocal qualities are brought out beautifully, creating a unique charm that other singers can’t easily imitate.
While the song calls for solid low notes as well as bright, resonant highs—making it a bit challenging for the average person to sing at karaoke—give it a try, and be sure to keep the beat from becoming flat!
friendsiri
A digital-only single by female singer-songwriter iri, released in October 2022.
With iri’s alluringly adult, low-register voice, this track is a perfect fit for women with deeper voices.
However, if you sing in a mumbling way just because your voice is low, you’ll dull the very appeal of that lower tone.
When you sing, practice producing a solid chest voice that resonates in the thoracic cavity, aiming the sound toward your lower jaw inside your mouth.
Also, the rhythm has a bounce to it, so be careful not to let it turn flat.
If you listen closely to her performance, you’ll notice she uses mix voice effectively in parts of the song where the pitch rises a bit, making this choice somewhat advanced.
Even so, it’s a number I highly recommend women with lower voices to try.
Dance with That Girl feat. chelmicoMEGA SHINNOSUKE
Singer-songwriter Mega Shinnosuke is known for his languid, stylish melodies and has earned high praise from dedicated music fans.
His track with the popular female rap duo chelmico is this one, “Mega Shinnosuke.” It’s a piece with a distinctly laid-back vibe.
The song stays within a narrow vocal range.
Mega Shinnosuke’s verse isn’t too low, so while it’s primarily a male-led track, women with lower registers should be able to sing it without issue.
Living My Lifemilet
This is singer-songwriter milet’s 11th digital-only single, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for Kansai TV/Fuji TV’s new Monday 10 p.m.
drama, “The Job-Changing Devil.” The slightly languid mood of the track pairs exquisitely with milet’s somewhat lower vocal tone.
You could even say that being able to sing this kind of song well at karaoke is a special privilege of women with lower voices! To make it sound good, try singing with a slightly lingering sense of rhythm and beat—that’s the key.
Keep that in mind when you sing.
ResonantiaAimer
Included on Aimer’s seventh full-length album, “Open α Door,” released in July 2023, this track “Resonantia” serves as the album’s lead song.
It’s a cool, uptempo piece with a stylish, sophisticated arrangement.
Over that wonderful arrangement, you can fully enjoy Aimer’s slightly husky vocals.
For those who, like Aimer herself, have a somewhat husky lower register, this will likely be one of the best choices for karaoke.
When singing it, focus strongly on the lateral flow of the beat in the backing track so it doesn’t turn into a straight up-and-down groove, and even in the powerful sections, aim for as soft an attack as possible with your phrasing.
Give it a try!
Female vocal songs where low-voiced women can shine (41–50)
Put ‘Em UpAmuro Namie
This is Namie Amuro’s 24th single released under her solo name, issued in July 2003.
During the era when she was racking up million-selling hits produced by Tetsuya Komuro, she actually had more allure in her mid-to-low vocal range than in the high notes often featured in Komuro’s melodies.
On this track, produced by Dallas Austin, the sound design is such that you could almost call it Western music with Japanese lyrics, which helps showcase the full appeal of her lower register.
To sing this song well, it really comes down to how naturally you can deliver Japanese lyrics with a Western-style groove.
O warriors of weakness with broken wingsupiko
Upiko is a singer-songwriter drawing attention for a musicality reminiscent of Miyuki Nakajima.
She’s known for lyrics that stir the heart, an emotionally rich singing style, and a characteristically low voice.
Among her works, “O Broken-Winged, Weary Warriors” is one I especially recommend for women with lower voices.
The vocal line is close to Showa-era pop, so there aren’t complex leaps in pitch.
While expressive delivery is required, the overall range is narrow, making it a relatively easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
