It’s a track with an authentic electro, dance-beat-infused sound where the rhythm and the groove of the vocals are key.

It might seem difficult when you first listen, but once you get the feel for the rhythm, you’ll be fine.

By the way, it’s easier to catch the groove in this song by counting the off-beats rather than the usual downbeats.

Instead of counting “1, 2, 3, 4,” count “1-and-2-and-3-and-4,” where the “and” is the off-beat.

If you’re not used to it, you might gradually slip out of time, but try to work through that.

Also, the vocal range isn’t that high, so you can sing it lightly without bracing yourself.

At first, it’s fine to sing everything connected and flowing.

Definitely try to catch this groove and enjoy Hikaru Utada’s song!

GLIM SPANKY is a rock duo that’s gained popularity for their low, husky vocal tone.

Their vocals, which blend emotional depth with cool swagger, leave a strong impression.

Among GLIM SPANKY’s works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is “Kaze ni Kisu o Shite” (“Kiss the Wind”).

Musically, it’s straightforward, rock-tinged J-pop.

The easiest part to sing is, without a doubt, the chorus.

While choruses typically ramp up in intensity, this song does the opposite—the melody actually drops slightly in range.

And since it’s not a key change, there’s no worry about going off pitch.

Tomei is a female singer-songwriter with a sharp musical sensibility who’s highly regarded in the industry.

While her downer-tinged tracks are especially compelling, my top recommendation is Dancing on the Mirror.

It’s close to the electro-swing popular in places like Belgium and France, and it carries an adult, jazzy vibe throughout.

The piece doesn’t have a particularly narrow range, but because it features many low parts, it’s perfect for showcasing the charm of singers with lower voices.

If you find the falsetto in the chorus hard to sing, try delivering it with solid projection instead of the whispery tone used in the original.

Even though it’s marked as falsetto, it’s not extremely high, so you should be able to handle it in chest voice.

It’s a song that sticks in your head because the same phrase repeats in the chorus.

The overall range is wide (F3 to C#5), but it’s mostly sung in the mid to low register, so the key is to keep your voice from getting heavy.

If your pitch drops, you’ll tend to sing from your throat, so be careful to avoid that! Before singing, try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows to make a surprised expression—this helps you produce sound easily without straining your throat.

It also makes it easier to stay on pitch overall, so I highly recommend this face! For the low notes, project your voice toward a close distance, and for the high notes in the chorus, aim your voice farther away than yourself—this keeps your vocal cords vibrating consistently, so give it a try! Get everyone hyped during the chorus!

I want to be lovedYumcha

Yumcha is a singer-songwriter whose love-themed musical style has made her hugely popular among teenage girls.

Her artist name is pronounced “Yamucha.” Because of her pop image, people often assume she sings a lot of high-pitched songs, but that’s not the case.

Her hit song “Aisaretai” has a bright, refreshing feel, yet the vocal range is fairly narrow, and the chorus is mostly in the mid to low register.

If you adjust the key to suit you, even women with lower voices can sing it comfortably—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Never Grow Upchanmina

Female rapper Chanmina, who enjoys overwhelming support from women in their teens and twenties.

Released in 2019, this track gained popularity with its tropical house-inspired sound and downbeat, whisper-like vocals.

The song’s range is mid2A to hiD#, which is high but relatively narrow overall.

Since the key can be lowered sufficiently, it’s one of the more singable songs among Chanmina’s works.

Because of the nature of rap, there tend to be fewer breakpoints, so it’s recommended to adjust your vocal output to align with the sections where you can take proper breaths.

The 4th single “Hoshikuzu Venus,” released as a double A-side with “Anata ni Deawanakereba ~Natsuyuki Fuyuka~.” Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV One Two Next drama “Will Such Extravagant Love Fall Upon Me?,” it features a spacious ensemble highlighted by delicate piano tones that feels wonderfully soothing.

Although the vocal range is narrow and the tempo is relaxed, be careful of the sudden leap in pitch that appears in the chorus, which can be tricky.

With sentimental lyrics that stir the heart, it’s a ballad you’ll want to sing with feeling at karaoke.
