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.

Female Artists (101–110)

Released on June 3, 2022 as a digital single by Aimer.

It was produced and released as the 5th anniversary theme song for the mobile game app Azur Lane.

Aimer is known for her slightly husky voice, and that charm is fully present in this track as well! She delivers an excellent vocal performance that captures the song’s somewhat dark mood.

With a track like this that carries a darker tone, I think singers with lower female voices can really showcase their appeal.

It feels like an important song to sing with a clear contrast between the slightly languid delivery in the A-melody sections and the powerful chorus.

When you sing it, be mindful of that contrast and try to bring it out.

Otsu feat. NENEAoyama Teruma

A new track, “Otsu feat.

NENE,” by Yurufuwa Gang member NENE and female R&B singer Thelma Aoyama.

Thelma Aoyama is known for her beautiful, ornamented vocals with touches of vocal runs, but in this work she mainly showcases a stylish rap.

Of course, NENE’s part as a female rapper is also delivered in a similarly sleek rap style, so you won’t find the kind of soaring pop-style vocal sections here.

The track really shines with lower voices, so give it a try.

Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai

Released in May 1995 as Noriko Sakai’s 27th single.

It was used as the theme song for the drama “Hoshi no Kinka” (Heaven’s Coins).

With Tetsurō Oda—who has produced many hits for artists like ZARD—composing, the song was clearly crafted with the karaoke market in mind, making it extremely easy to sing.

Its catchy, memorable chorus is accessible to everyone, and it’s also well-suited for karaoke—truly the work of a hitmaker like Tetsurō Oda.

It’s an easy song to sing all the way through, so don’t worry even if you have a low voice or struggle with high notes!

Lately, Ringo Sheena has often been collaborating with other artists and groups.

One such collaboration with Atarashii Gakko! is the track “Dora-1 Dokusō.” The vocals are handled by Ringo Sheena and SUZUKA.

Since this piece was composed with SUZUKA in mind, it’s characterized by a range tailored to her lower vocal timbre.

Surprisingly, the vocal lines are quite easy to sing, so be sure to check it out.

GOLDEN BUDDY feat. Kurumaraisan

Praise – GOLDEN BUDDY feat. Kuruma

Formed under the leadership of Saya from the popular comedy duo LA LA LAND, the band Raisan defies expectations.

Though you might assume they’re a comic band, their musicality is serious and has earned high praise within the industry.

Among Raisan’s tracks, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is GOLDEN BUDDY feat.

Kuruma.

It blends neo-soul and hip-hop, featuring mellow, rap-like verses that fall somewhere between rap and singing.

There are no high parts at all, and you can sing it entirely in a low register.

The male part is also rap, so it’s perfectly manageable for female singers as well.

Women Artists (111–120)

It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.

The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.

As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.

If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.

Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.

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.
