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 (41–50)
vexing lipsTakahashi Mariko
Mari Takahashi released her 18th single in May 1992.
Known for her calm and very “mature” voice and singing, Takahashi is highly acclaimed—and this song showcases that charm to the fullest.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke, not only for those who struggle with high notes but also for anyone wanting to project a sophisticated, adult feminine vibe.
Come to think of it, I’ve directed and recorded male singers covering this song several times in the past, and it brought out a different side of its appeal compared to a female vocal.
I can definitely recommend it as a women’s song that also works beautifully when sung by men.
PromiseTamaki Nami
This is the 15th single by Nami Tamaki—singer, actress, voice actress, and YouTuber—released in December 2007.
It’s said to be her first ballad single.
The track features beautifully crafted sound production, and Tamaki’s vocals have notable depth; for a female vocalist, her register is on the lower side.
Since the vocal melody is centered in the low–mid range, this song could be one of the best karaoke choices for women with lower voices.
If you try placing your voice as if it’s resonating around the upper molars on the roof of your mouth, you should be able to achieve a low yet harmonically rich tone similar to Tamaki’s.
Give it a try.
STAND-ALONEAimer
It was released as a digital-only single by Aimer and used as the main theme for the first part of the NTV Sunday drama “Your Turn to Kill.” The song has a melody that seems crafted to bring out the full appeal of Aimer’s rich, powerful voice, and through her vocals and delivery you can really feel her rock edge.
Now, if you’re planning to sing this at karaoke, the opening A-melodic section in particular should be a great fit for women with lower voices, letting you showcase that quality.
In the chorus there are some fairly high passages; Aimer herself appears to blend mixed voice and falsetto there.
Even if you’re not confident with high notes, I hope you’ll work on practicing and mastering this part.
Try to avoid clamping down on your throat; instead, open the back of your mouth in a rounded shape, aim the sound toward your upper palate, and practice resonating firmly within the oral cavity.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
It’s AKB48’s 32nd single, released in August 2013.
It’s such a hit that it hardly needs any introduction.
Since it’s an idol song, it’s not particularly about showcasing deep low notes or anything like that.
That said, I think it’s an easy song even for women who struggle with high notes, so I hope you’ll all sing it together with your friends and have a blast.
It’s an excellent cute idol song and party track, so don’t worry about vocal technique or the little details—just have fun!
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!
Lingering Snowiruka
This was the third single by female folk singer Iruka, released in November 1975.
Iruka’s version became a hit, but the song originally belonged to the group Kaguyahime, and her rendition was produced as a cover.
It’s a quintessential 1970s folk composition with a simple melody, and since the original featured a male vocalist, there are no extremely high notes; it’s an easy song to sing even for those who struggle with high pitches.
Iruka’s unadorned voice matches the melody and the lyrical worldview perfectly, making it clear why the song was such a big hit at the time.
Gold ~Until We Meet Again~Utada Hikaru
This is Hikaru Utada’s 15th digital single, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Kingdom: The Flame of Destiny.” Hikaru Utada, who performs this song, is a singer known for her beautifully subdued and composed vocal style, and I find her voice especially captivating when she sings melodies in the mid-to-low range.
In particular, this track I’m introducing here is centered around mid-to-low vocal lines, with hardly any parts that require high notes, making it one of the best choices for lower-voiced women to select for karaoke.
Throughout the entire song, focus on singing each word of the lyrics with care and precision.
