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
I want to tell you how I feel (my love)aimyon
This is Aimyon’s second single, released in May 2017.
While many female vocalists tend to stand out with frequent use of high tones, she’s a wonderful singer whose charm lies in her mid-to-low range.
Because of that, her songs are easier to sing for those who feel unsure about their high notes, and they may be especially approachable for women who struggle with hitting high pitches.
The song has a slightly bouncy rhythm, so try to feel the groove with your body as you sing to keep the energy lively.
wailing in griefKudō Shizuka
Shizuka Kudo’s classic song “Dōkoku.” While Shizuka Kudo sometimes showcases an intense vocal style depending on the song, she is actually an artist with a very limited vocal range.
Among her works, this piece in particular has a notably narrow range.
Even the highest notes sit around the boundary between the middle and upper-middle register, and they appear only briefly.
In addition, the melodic movement is very gentle, so for women with lower voices, it’s actually an easy song to sing.
It’s also a big hit at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
white mayflyAimer
This is Aimer’s 23rd single overall, released in December 2023.
By the way, the title is pronounced “Shiroiro Kagerou.” It’s a very pleasant ballad where Aimer’s slightly husky voice—rich in warm low-order overtones—sounds absolutely beautiful.
The most important thing for singing this well at karaoke is to avoid rushing; try to sing slightly behind the beat.
Pay close attention to the spacing between phrases and words—in other words, how you handle the rests.
There are a few spots in the chorus that require a bit of a higher register, but try not to strain your throat; imagine placing the sound against your upper palate as you sing.
Female vocal songs (61–70) where women with low voices can shine
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!
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.
loveUru
A digital-only single by female singer-songwriter Uru, released in January 2023.
It’s a track where you can fully savor the charm of Uru’s beautifully mellow voice rich in lower overtones.
I think it’s a wonderful song, produced to showcase the depth and allure of her vocals to the fullest.
The chorus and other sections require the use of mixed voice and falsetto, but if you can handle those parts, it will be an ideal choice for lower-voiced women to sing and highlight the appeal of their own voices.
Since the song is calm and gentle overall, try to sing with care so that your breath control—like the nuance of your breathing and the speed of your exhalation—doesn’t become rough.
