A must-see for low-voiced women! Popular songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

These days, many songs for both women and men are in higher keys, so there are probably many women with lower voices who feel, “I can’t find songs I can sing because my voice is low,” or “I’m looking for lower-key songs for karaoke.” Forcing yourself to sing songs that don’t suit your natural voice can hurt your throat, and it can be stressful when you can’t sing the way you want.

But don’t worry! There are plenty of songs that sound captivating even with a low voice.

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of songs that women with lower ranges can sing comfortably and confidently.

Find your new favorite track!

Women Artists (71–80)

Pure AsiaPUFFY

PUFFY is a female duo produced by Tamio Okuda.

Their songs generally don’t go into very high keys, so even women with lower voices can sing them without worrying much about range.

However, in “Asia no Junshin,” the opening line is high, so if you can’t hit it solidly, the performance might feel a bit loose.

If the opening is tough, try lowering the overall key by one semitone and sing it that way!

When you think of Anri, many people probably remember this song: Olivia o Kikinagara.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it her signature track.

When it was released in 1978, Anri was 17 years old.

It’s remarkably mature for a song sung by a 17-year-old, isn’t it? Even so, it remains a timeless classic that’s still performed today.

It’s gentle and soothing, doesn’t require very high notes, and is very easy to sing.

Song of DreamsKōda Kumi

Kumi Koda / “Yume no Uta” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)
Song of DreamsKōda Kumi

This is Koda Kumi’s 33rd single, released in October 2006.

The song is basically composed to make the most of Kumi’s husky voice, so I think even those who struggle with high notes can fully enjoy singing it.

If there’s one potential sticking point, it would be the falsetto sections used for the highest notes in the chorus.

How smoothly you can switch from chest voice to falsetto will be the key to pulling this song off.

Falsetto used occasionally by women with husky voices sounds very sexy and appealing.

Definitely try to master it! If you want to delve into that part, I’ll be waiting for you in vocal training (lol).

Women artists (81–90)

You are me.Maeda Atsuko

This is Atsuko Maeda’s second single since graduating from AKB48 and going solo, “Kimi wa Boku da” (You Are Me).

It’s a cute, pop love song.

Idol songs are often in a high key with tough choruses, but this one can be sung calmly, so it’s recommended for those who struggle with high keys.

It’s cute, easy to sing, and the music video is set up like a drama—highly recommended.

Marigoldaimyon

Aimyon – Marigold [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
Marigoldaimyon

This was Aimyon’s fifth major-label single, released in August 2018.

Since Aimyon herself is a female singer with a relatively low, rich voice, it’s one of the best choices for low-voiced women to pick as a karaoke number.

However, don’t be misled by that low, full tone—when you actually sing it, the vocal melody includes unexpectedly high notes, so be careful.

In Marigold, this applies to the high parts in the chorus and the big final chorus (the D section) near the end.

If you can use a chest-leaning mixed voice well, singing in the original key shouldn’t be a problem, but if you’re not confident switching registers, pay attention to your key setting.

FOREVER YOURSEvery Little Thing

This is Every Little Thing’s ninth single, “FOREVER YOURS,” released in 1998.

Many of Every Little Thing’s songs are on the lower side and easy to sing, so they’re recommended for people who struggle with high keys.

This track is also a calm, easy one to sing.

Songs from the ’90s tend to be pretty popular at karaoke, don’t they?

Namie Amuro – a walk in the park

This is the song “a walk in the park” by Namie Amuro, the songstress who retired to much regret.

Many of the female singers from the Komuro Family are known for their high-tone voices, aren’t they? Amid that, Namie Amuro’s lower register had more allure than the others and was really cool.

Sing it with a low voice—powerfully and sexily!
