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)
youUtada Hikaru
Released as Utada Hikaru’s eighth single, available exclusively by digital distribution in December 2007.
This song indeed doesn’t feature ultra-high notes, and if you look only at range and timbre, it seems like good material for women with lower voices.
However, as you’d expect from a track by Utada, who’s renowned for her vocal prowess, it’s quite a high hurdle to truly pull off.
The key points are whether you can execute the trills—those continuous pitch changes—cleanly, and avoiding too much chest voice overall, as it likely won’t resonate beautifully.
You’ll need to skillfully use mixed voice in the mid-to-high range.
Using mixed voice (middle voice) well can be difficult without attending vocal training lessons, but for now, try to keep in mind: sing as gently and softly as possible.
Female vocal songs (51–60) where low-voiced women can shine
Negotiationyouen kingyo
An R&B duo in Japan known for their exceptional taste and highly regarded by hardcore music aficionados, Yoen Kingyo.
Their signature is R&B with a strong hip-hop flavor, and while they remain under the radar, they’ve created numerous hidden gems.
Their new track, “Negotiation,” is a neo-soul piece reminiscent of Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, featuring melodic rap and exquisitely layered choruses.
Since every part sits in the low to low-mid range, it definitely demands groove, but in terms of vocal range, it’s a very singable song for women with lower voices.
Girl ANakamori Akina
This was Akina Nakamori’s second single, released in July 1982.
It’s one of the masterpieces of so-called Showa-era kayōkyoku.
Although Nakamori was only 17 at the time, the song makes full use of the slightly hard-edged, low-register-rich quality she’s had to this day, while still revealing traces of the “youthfulness” of a 17-year-old on only her second release—an intriguing contrast that adds to its unique appeal.
In terms of the vocal melody, there’s essentially no need for a high head voice, so it’s one of the best karaoke choices for people who are strong in the lower range or who struggle with high notes.
That said, precisely because the melody sits lower, if you mumble or sing too softly the performance can feel very loose.
When you sing it, be sure to give clear dynamic contrast to each section of the song and avoid letting it become monotonous.
heartaimyon
It’s Aimyon’s 12th single, released on November 24, 2021.
It’s a very calm ballad with a relaxed vocal melody that makes great use of Aimyon’s slightly husky voice.
Because of that, I think it should be relatively easy to sing even for people with lower voices who aren’t comfortable with high notes.
There is a part at the end of the pre-chorus, right before the chorus, where you’ll need to sing in falsetto, so be sure to practice switching registers smoothly there!
The Ten CommandmentsAdo
When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.
In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.
Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.
That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Kiss the windGLIM SPANKY
GLIM SPANKY is a two-piece rock band gaining attention across generations for their husky-voiced female vocalist.
While the husky tone often stands out, she is also a low-register female singer.
Their song “Kaze ni Kiss wo Shite” is a must-recommend for low-voiced women.
With its relatively narrow range and catchy vocal lines, it lets you emphasize the low notes well despite its low difficulty.
It’s a must-listen for low-voiced women who want to sing a bright, upbeat track!
GodAina ji Endo
Aina The End’s digital distribution-only single, released on November 16, 2021.
Aina The End is known for her slightly raspy, husky voice, and that captivating vocal quality is alive and well in this track, too! Her singing can sound a bit blunt or rough around the edges, but that’s part of her charm.
If you choose this song for karaoke, try to recreate its unique atmosphere as much as possible.
Be careful not to rush the rhythm—doing so can ruin the song, so please pay close attention there.
