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!

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.

This is the song “Ame (Rain)” by Chisato Moritaka.

She wrote the lyrics herself.

It’s a mature love song with a rain theme, full of emotion.

Moritaka’s voice sounds high, and because her tone has both firmness and clarity, it comes across as even more high-pitched.

However, the key of “Ame” itself isn’t that high, so it’s best sung gently and tenderly.

Try to convey a subtle, adult allure while singing with a touch of poignancy!

eternityZARD

This is ZARD’s 22nd single, released in August 1997.

It was also the theme song for the drama “Shitsurakuen” (Lost Paradise).

Not just this song, but ZARD’s tracks in general are ideal for women who struggle with high notes or wide vocal ranges when singing karaoke.

1997 was a time when J-pop was racking up million-seller hits, and getting people to sing your song at karaoke was a major factor in achieving a hit.

ZARD’s songs were created with that in mind, so they’re all easy to remember and easy to sing.

Although Izumi Sakai’s voice doesn’t have a particularly wide range, it has a distinctive charm in its high overtones, which can make perfectly recreating the original vibe a bit challenging.

Still, the songs themselves are very singable, so try expressing the world of the music in a way that fits your own image.

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).

This is a digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.

It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” The song features a very dramatic arrangement at a medium-to-slow tempo.

In particular, the rich lower-register vocals heard in sections like the first verse make it a great choice for women with lower voices to try and recreate at karaoke.

The mixed voice to falsetto singing used in the chorus is also something to aim to reproduce; however, if you’re not confident, please lower the key at karaoke to suit your range.

Coloryama

Coloryama

It’s a single by yama that was released as an advance digital distribution in October 2022.

Yama, who sings this song, keeps all personal details such as age and gender completely private, but their boyish-sounding voice is distinctive, isn’t it? Now, the song we’re introducing here, “Shikisai,” was produced as the ending theme for the second cour of the anime SPY x FAMILY.

Listening to the vocals on this track, it feels like yama’s voice—boyish yet somehow also feminine—shows its full charm.

In karaoke, being able to bring out that boyish quality might be a special advantage for women with lower voices.

That said, perhaps because yama originally started as a Vocaloid producer, the vocal track is processed in a very “Vocaloid-like” way, so it can feel impossible for a human to recreate that vibe live in karaoke.

So don’t overthink it—just have fun doing your best impression of the original!

Watarasebashi by Chisato Moritaka, released in 1993.

It became a hit again when Aya Matsuura covered it in 2004, and it’s a song that has been loved ever since.

It gently and tenderly sings of a woman’s bittersweet feelings and unforgettable memories.

If you sing it as though you’re reading a story, you can infuse it with emotion and deliver it beautifully.
