Female Artists (101–110)
slashyama
Released as a digital single by yama in April 2023, with a CD single scheduled for release in May of the same year.
It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2.
Over a dramatically unfolding backing track that blends a weighty, hard rock sound with lavish string arrangements, you can fully savor yama’s powerful vocals that rival those of male singers.
Yama is a singer whose slightly husky, and somewhat masculine, voice is especially appealing, making this a great song for low-voiced female singers to try at karaoke.
There are sections that require fairly high notes, so practice singing them without straining your throat.
friendsiri
It’s a single by singer-songwriter iri that was released digitally in October 2022.
It’s also been used as a tie-in song for the Mercedes-AMG SL.
iri has a very masculine, deep voice, so this alone might make her and this song a top choice for women with low voices to pick at karaoke.
However, the track does include a rap section, and it’s undeniable that you need a fairly strong sense of beat and rhythm to sing it well.
Listen closely to both the vocal and rap parts, study the phrase breaks and rests, and then try singing while paying close attention to the drums and bass in the backing track.
SunshadeYuka
Yuka, a female singer-songwriter whose unique musical style influenced by Western music has earned her high acclaim in the industry.
She’s known for her wide musical range—from R&B-flavored tracks to sharp, punchy rock—but this work is crafted as classic alternative rock.
While the overall groove is tight and edgy, the vocal lines are surprisingly centered in the low-to-mid to mid range.
If you’re a lower-voiced female singer who excels at delivering a rich, powerful tone, definitely give this piece a try.
Girl ANakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s second single, released in July 1982.
Akina’s low voice hardly needs mentioning—you all know it well.
Back in ’82, recording and production methods were completely different from today, and things like pitch correction, which are now commonplace, simply weren’t possible.
In that sense, it might actually be relatively easier to recreate in karaoke.
In the A-melody section, the notes are quite low for female singers, so be careful not to let your voice become mumbled or indistinct.
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!
Women Artists (111–120)
death anniversarychanmina
This is rapper Chanmina’s 17th digital-only single, released in August 2023.
Chanmina, who sings this track, has an incredibly appealing, slightly gritty low-register voice.
The song we’re featuring here, Memorial Day (Meinichi), is crafted to showcase the full charm of her voice, so I wholeheartedly recommend it as a karaoke pick for women with lower voices! When you sing it, try to place the sound toward your lower jaw inside your mouth and use a well-resonant chest voice that vibrates through your chest cavity.
And for the rap section near the end, keep the rhythm tight and avoid any stumbles so it sounds cool!
Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
This is Kumi Koda’s 11th single, released in May 2004.
It’s a remake and rearrangement of the theme song from the popular 1973 anime Cutie Honey.
While the original featured an adorably cute, quintessentially Showa-era anime vocal style, this remake is arranged to make the most of Kumi Koda’s slightly lower, sultry voice, making it easy to sing for women with lower ranges—in fact, it’s a song that truly shines when sung by lower-voiced women.
Combined with a very singable melody characteristic of Showa anime songs, it could be considered a top pick for women who struggle with high notes.
However! Even with a low voice, be sure to aim for a resonant, well-supported tone, okay?
