GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
With lyrics by Ai Yazawa, the original author of NANA, and composition/production by HYDE, it was a smash hit created by an all-star team! The song itself isn’t too high, so it’s in a range that many women can sing comfortably—so I imagine a lot of people choose it.
However, the highest note E5 appears at the end of the second chorus.
That’s where you’ll want to nail it with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to be nasal and are harder to produce than other sounds.
So try projecting your voice a bit stronger than you think! Make sure to place the accents firmly to match the timing there.
If the key feels difficult, it’s fine to use falsetto at first.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger falsetto; brace your lower abdomen and add those accents!
Lingering Snowiruka
The song we’re introducing this time is famous for Iruka’s cover, but it was originally by Shozo Ise’s folk trio, Kaguyahime.
Iruka’s cover version, which we’re featuring here, was released in November 1975.
It’s a slightly melancholic yet heartwarming piece, with a vocal melody that doesn’t have extreme highs and lows, so it’s a song you can sing reflectively.
That means it should be comfortable at karaoke even for women who struggle with high notes or have lower voices.
The key to making it sound good is to cherish the scenes evoked by the lyrics and sing the whole song gently and smoothly.
When you actually sing it, try to keep it calm and unforced.

Living My Lifemilet
This is singer-songwriter milet’s 11th digital-only single, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for Kansai TV/Fuji TV’s new Monday 10 p.m.
drama, “The Job-Changing Devil.” The slightly languid mood of the track pairs exquisitely with milet’s somewhat lower vocal tone.
You could even say that being able to sing this kind of song well at karaoke is a special privilege of women with lower voices! To make it sound good, try singing with a slightly lingering sense of rhythm and beat—that’s the key.
Keep that in mind when you sing.
Starry NightYuka
This is Yuka’s sixth digital-only single, released in February 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Hoshifuru Yoru ni” (“On a Starry Night”).
It’s a beautifully crafted, slow-tempo ballad.
What adds even more depth to the song is Yuka’s singing voice.
Recreating this in karaoke is a particular advantage for women with lower voices.
Be sure to listen closely to her original performance for reference, and showcase the charm of your own voice to your friends.
There are many sections in the chorus that are sung in falsetto, so practice switching registers smoothly.
LONELYKatō Miriya feat. LANA
Miliyah Kato is a female R&B singer who represents the Heisei era.
Her music, which has supported many women over the years, has now collaborated with a female R&B singer who represents the Reiwa era.
One such track is LONELY, featuring LANA.
Centered on contemporary R&B, the piece has a somewhat downbeat tone.
As it’s R&B, advanced techniques like vocal runs appear, but there are no sections that are un-singable due to low notes.
If you want to belt it out like LANA, try slightly raising the pitch by a quarter note value right at the moment of phonation and deliver the note with strong projection.
StarsNakajima Mika
Mika Nakashima’s debut single, released on November 7, 2001.
It was used as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Scarred Love Song.” It’s a quiet ballad, but you can enjoy some very passionate vocals in the chorus.
Mika Nakashima herself has a wonderfully rich voice with plenty of low overtones, so it’s a great song for women with lower voices to try at karaoke.
That said, the melody does include quite a few high notes.
As Mika does in the track, make good use of falsetto when you sing.
Whether you can switch smoothly between registers will make or break how good this song sounds.
If you’re not confident with register transitions, try lowering the key at karaoke.
Blouse and GhostKuroki Nagisa
Women with low voices are often thought to struggle with falsetto, but that’s not actually the case.
In many instances, low-voiced women mainly find low-register falsetto difficult, while higher-register falsetto is relatively attainable.
“Blouse and Ghost” is a must-sing track for low-voiced women working on falsetto.
The song’s structure places the A section in the low–mid range, the B section in the mid range, and the chorus in the mid–high range.
Because the falsetto passages are set relatively high, even women with low voices can often sing them with surprising ease.
Although the pitch can be a bit tricky to track at times, it’s highly recommended for low-voiced women looking to strengthen their falsetto.
