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 (51–60) where low-voiced women can shine
Futabaaimyon
This is Aimyon’s fourth digital-only single, released on March 24, 2022.
It was released as the theme song for NHK’s “Aimyon 18 Festival.” Aimyon is a highly compelling singer with a slightly husky voice, and that vocal quality shines through in this track as well.
In particular, the slightly relaxed delivery heard in the A melody, which is centered on the lower register, helps create a clear contrast with the brighter, more resonant vocals in the latter half of the B melody through the chorus, adding dynamic contour to the song.
Playback Part 2Yamaguchi Momoe
This was the 22nd single by Showa-era superstar Momoe Yamaguchi, released in May 1978.
It was a major hit, selling over 500,000 copies.
The melody is crafted to make the most of Yamaguchi’s alluring lower register, so women who struggle with high notes but are strong in the low range should be able to sing it stylishly.
It’s important to clearly understand the placement of rests and use the space between phrases effectively when singing this song.
Also, when producing your voice, aim the sound toward the inside area of your lower back molars and resonate the chest cavity; this will help you achieve a cooler, lower-toned voice.
Listening with modern ears, there are quite a few elements—like the use of synthesizers in the arrangement—that feel very much of their time, which is interesting in its own right.
Give it a try and sing it cool and stylishly!
Not Drunkyouen kingyo
Although it’s called R&B, most of today’s Japanese R&B scene is really pop with an R&B flavor.
If you’re a low-voiced woman who loves true R&B, you probably struggle to find songs that fit, right? For you, I recommend Not Drunk, sung by Youen Kingyo.
It’s crafted like the smooth, sexy R&B of the late ’90s and early 2000s.
The vocals sit mainly in the low-to-mid range, making it a perfect fit for low-voiced women.
you areArche
Arche is a female singer-songwriter who’s gaining attention for her music rooted in hip-hop and neo-soul.
Her artist name is pronounced “Arki.” Although she has a remarkably powerful voice that feels beyond typical for Japan, her song “you are” is quite singable even if you’re not used to Western vocal styles.
It requires groove, but since it leans toward rap-like R&B, you won’t encounter difficult techniques like elaborate vocal runs.
In addition, the song is sung throughout in the low–mid to mid range, so women with lower, rhythmically solid voices should be able to sing it with ease.
Female vocal songs (61–70) where women with low voices can shine
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Hitoto Yo
This is Yo Hitoto’s fifth single, released in February 2004.
Yo Hitoto’s gentle, heartfelt vocal style is incredibly captivating.
She’s not the type of singer who flaunts superhuman high notes, and the song itself is highly recommended as material for women who aren’t comfortable with high pitches.
That said, her vocal ability is quite high, and singing it just like the original may be rather difficult.
Since her father is Taiwanese, there’s a sense that her fundamental vocal production differs from that of native Japanese singers.
Even so, I believe you can gain a great deal by practicing this song, so please give it a try.
EclipseAimer
Aimer’s “Eclipse” has lots of breathy elements and isn’t a song where you belt, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing! Like the other artists I’ve introduced so far, Aimer is also an artist whose low register is really captivating.
Compared to her signature song “Zankyosanka,” this one has fewer high notes, making the pitch easier to catch, and the song’s structure builds up gradually rather than suddenly jumping high.
The rhythm doesn’t have any particularly difficult parts either, so if you want to sing something gently and tenderly, how about “Eclipse”? Try singing softly without straining your throat!
I hate this love songchanmina
In most of Chanmina’s songs, her wonderful low voice really stands out! Listening to “I hate this love song,” there are almost no high notes; the overall range is A3–C#5.
There’s a brief high note in the chorus, but given the song’s vibe, using falsetto is perfectly fine.
Also, can you hear that finger-snapping sound in the backing track? It plays a very important role in the rhythm of the song, so when you sing, try to lock into the rhythm by listening closely to those snaps! Chanmina has a lot of rap-heavy tracks, but this one doesn’t have bold rap sections, so it’s easier to learn as a song.
Highly recommended!
