Women Artists (91–100)
Hell Love Lettertuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki., who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
Since scoring a nationwide hit with “Bansanka,” she’s been consistently releasing hit songs.
“Jigoku Koibumi” is one of her latest tracks.
She’s known for her expressive, shape-shifting vocal style, but this song settles into a somewhat downbeat mood.
With almost no high sections, it’s a very singable piece for lower-voiced women who struggle with falsetto or mixed voice.
My RevolutionWatanabe Misato
This was Misato Watanabe’s fourth single, released in 1986, and it can be considered the first song that brought its composer, the one and only Tetsuya Komuro, into the spotlight.
It was used as the theme song for the TV drama Sailor-fuku Dori and steadily climbed the charts on music programs, boosting its sales.
While Misato Watanabe is a singer capable of hitting high notes, the sections in the A melody that stay in the lower register make it a perfect fit for low-voiced female singers.
Female Artists (101–110)
It’s so heartbreaking it makes me want to cry.Mayo Okamoto
A quintessential 90s love song by one of the era’s leading female singers, Mayo Okamoto: “Nakechau Hodo Setsunai Kedo.” Released in 1997 as her fifth single, it was a time when everyone was scrambling to sing her songs.
This is a track I’d especially like low-voiced singers to try—rather than those who struggle with high keys.
The opening, in particular, is incredibly low.
SHOW MEMorikawa Yukari
“SHOW ME” is Yukari Morikawa’s second single, released in 1987.
It is also well known for gaining attention as the theme song for the TBS drama “Otoko to Onna 7-nin Aki Monogatari” (Autumn Story of Seven Men and Women).
From the opening lines to the chorus, the key hardly changes.
It’s a very easy song to sing for women who don’t have a wide vocal range or who have lower voices, making it a perfect fit.
The True Face of the StormKudō Shizuka
This was Shizuka Kudo’s seventh single overall, released in May 1989.
1989 was the first year of the Heisei era.
Reflecting that period, the melody still has a strong Showa kayō (Showa-era pop) flavor.
Compared with songs from the Reiwa era, it’s crafted to be very straightforward and easy to sing, and combined with Kudo’s slightly lower vocal tone, it’s an ideal choice for people who aren’t comfortable with high notes.
If you study videos and recreate the chorus choreography while singing it at karaoke, it might liven up the atmosphere even more!
ShipwreckNakamori Akina
It won the Gold Prize at the 29th Japan Record Awards in 1987.
Akina Nakamori’s husky, whispery voice really resonates in this song, and it’s highly recommended for those who struggle with high notes! The overall range is fairly wide, from D3 to C#5, but the song shines more in expressiveness than in vocal power.
The melody in the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to let your voice become mumbly.
Try taking plenty of air through your mouth and letting your voice ride on your breath.
The structure builds up from the chorus onward, so sing each of the opening notes clearly and deliberately.
Keep your facial muscles lifted and try to avoid using your throat as much as possible—you should find it easier to sing that way!
Shut up.Ado
Ado’s first major-label single, released on October 23, 2020.
It’s an upbeat, high-energy track where Ado’s powerful vocals are a perfect match, and her vocal style and tone vividly convey the “anger” expressed in the lyrics.
I feel that only women with naturally low speaking voices can truly recreate the original feel when singing it at karaoke.
Enjoy bringing out the full appeal of powerful low notes! That said, while the original is sung very powerfully, please be careful not to strain your throat by forcing your voice—avoid singing with unnecessary tension to prevent injury.
