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)
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.
Roppongi HeartbreakAn Ruisu
Ann Lewis’s 23rd single, released in October 1984.
Musically, it’s a track that leans into the Japanese heavy metal sound that was starting to draw attention at the time—so-called “Japanese metal”—and it’s crafted to make the most of her robust, rock-inflected vocals.
That said, unlike metal songs that trade on soaring high notes, this one features a very catchy, easy-to-sing melody, making it approachable even for women who aren’t comfortable with high registers.
Don’t overthink the details—just sing it with cool, rocking style!
In the futurehitomi
This was hitomi’s sixth single, released in May 1996.
Perhaps because hitomi isn’t particularly known for high notes, this song—among the series of Tetsuya Komuro–produced hits—doesn’t require much in the way of high vocals.
Since 1996 was also a time when songs needed to be karaoke favorites to become hits, I recommend this one as an easy song for anyone to sing!
Zankyo SankaAimer
This is Aimer’s 20th single, released on January 12, 2022.
It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc.
It’s a fine track where you can fully enjoy Aimer’s slightly husky voice over an up-tempo, somewhat aggressive sound.
Now, the song—especially the chorus—features a vocal melody with steep rises and falls, so it may be difficult for most people to sing at karaoke if they’re simply “good at low notes.” However, the A-melody sections should give low-voiced female singers a chance to shine.
Try to sing throughout without losing your sense of power!
PLAYERSYOASOBI
This song was created to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, with a theme centered around gaming.
Listening to it, you can really feel that distinctive YOASOBI style.
The chorus sits around E5, so the range is quite high, but there are constant call-and-response shouts in the backing vocals, which makes it nice because you can catch your breath while singing! That chorus is super cute and makes you want to dance, so it seems like it would hype up a live show too! When you sing it, enunciate clearly so the phrases don’t blur together—doing so will make it easier to hear and easier to sing.
Pay attention to your diction!

Standing on stageYOASOBI
Surprisingly, this song modulates near the end, but instead of going higher, it drops by a semitone first and then immediately rises again.
It really feels like the meaning of the title, “Standing on Stage,” is packed into this one track! Ikura’s vocals resonate with real strength in the high notes without her having to belt.
Carrying the voice with breath rather than shouting makes the sound come out naturally and leads to that clear, transparent tone! Many of my students sing YOASOBI’s songs, so I hope all of you will give them a try, too!
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.
