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.

ChaO!Kōda Kumi
ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.
Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.
At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!
#Tokyo LIFEKato Miria
It’s a slightly cool song with an R&B vibe that’s very Miliyah Kato, and the second verse even has a rap-like section.
The vocal range isn’t very high, so it’s a song you can sing quite smoothly.
As long as you lock into the rhythm, you can make it sound really cool, so be sure to listen carefully to the backing track and keep the rhythm.
If you clap while singing, it’s easier to know where to place the accents.
Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly at the same spots, those parts become the accents, making it easier to stay aware of them.
Overall, you want to keep things relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.
tragedyChilli Beans.
Chilli Beans.
is a girls’ band that’s gained popularity for their ennui-tinged, high-sense musicality—a name everyone in the Japanese rock scene knows.
While many of their songs carry a languid vibe, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is “tragedy.” It doesn’t have specifically low parts, but it’s sung in the mid-to-low range throughout, making it very comfortable for lower-voiced singers.
It’s also nice that there aren’t complex pitch jumps.
Don’t give upZARD
ZARD’s sixth single overall, released in January 1993.
Not just this song—ZARD’s run of hits and late-’80s to early-’90s J-POP in general are a treasure trove of songs that many people can sing at karaoke without strain! Back then, how often a song was sung at karaoke had a huge impact on CD sales.
So feel free to pick it at karaoke and have fun.
I think most women can sing it without changing the key!
GoodbyeGAO
This was GAO’s second single, released in April 1992.
It was also used as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Suteki ni Damasite!” and went on to become a million seller.
With GAO’s masculine allure in both looks and vocals, this is an ideal karaoke pick for women with low, husky voices.
Plus, the 1990s—when this track came out—were truly a golden age of J-pop, and major labels were far more conscious than today of how often songs would be sung at karaoke.
This track is no exception: it’s built around a very memorable, easy-to-sing melody.
Feel free to select it at karaoke and showcase the appeal of your husky, androgynous tone to the fullest.
Just be careful not to strain your throat when you hit the higher notes.
A Midsummer Night’s DreamMatsutōya Yumi
This is Yumi Matsutoya’s 24th single, released on July 26, 1993.
It was chosen as the theme song for the sequel to the hugely popular drama “Zutto Anata ga Suki Datta,” which caused a sensation at the time with the mama’s-boy character Fuyuhiko—namely, “Dare ni mo Ienai.” Thanks in part to the drama’s popularity, the song became Matsutoya’s second million-selling hit, so many of you have probably heard it.
Despite being such a smash hit, the vocal melody mainly sits in the low to mid range, with no particularly high notes required, making it a highly recommended karaoke choice for women with lower voices.
If you imitate her singing style and really get into character as Matsutoya herself, you’re sure to have a great time singing it.
Cheer up!Takeuchi Mariya
Originally written as a song for Hiroko Yakushimaru, this track appears on her 1984 album KOKINSHU, but Mariya Takeuchi’s 1987 self-cover may be the more famous version.
It’s said that the song was written to comfort Carly Simon after her divorce from James Taylor, which gives it a distinctly global feel.
The gentle vocals suit a low female voice perfectly.
