Female Artists (11–20)
In Love with the Mirrorraisan
The band Raisan was formed mainly by Sayaka from the comedy duo Rarando and Enon Kawatani.
Although the group consists of members with unconventional backgrounds, they’re far from a novelty act and are highly regarded by critics for their sophisticated musicality.
Their new song, “Kagami ni Koishite” (“In Love with the Mirror”), stands out as a relatively bright tune for Raisan, who are known for their downer-tinged sound.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide; the A melody, in particular, will highlight the charm of women with lower voices.
If you use a vocal technique called “fall,” it instantly gives the delivery a Western pop feel, so be sure to master this technique and give it a try.
Time goes byEvery Little Thing
It’s Every Little Thing’s 8th single, released in February 1998.
It’s true that the song doesn’t demand extremely high notes in terms of range, but if you sing with a heavy, low-emphasized tone, you might undermine the song’s atmosphere.
So even for low-voiced women, try to focus on a brighter, higher overtone and aim for a cute, gentle delivery.
The melody itself isn’t very difficult, so if possible, memorize the lyrics and sing in a way that fully conveys the song’s world.
SoupFujihara Sakura
Sakura Fujiwara’s debut single, released in June 2016.
It was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Love Song,” with lyrics and music by Masaharu Fukuyama! I can confidently recommend this as a song that even women who struggle with high notes can sing with ease.
The vocal range used is so narrow that it makes you wonder if Fukuyama composed it with the idea of singing it himself—so you’ll likely be fine.
That said, you might need to polish your singing technique a bit to capture the slightly languid vibe of the song.
youUtada Hikaru
Utada Hikaru released her eighth single as a digital-only track in December 2007.
It’s true that the song doesn’t demand ultra-high notes, and if you look only at range and timbre, it might seem well-suited for female singers with lower voices.
However, as you’d expect from a Utada track—given her reputation for vocal prowess—pulling it off is quite challenging.
Key points include whether you can execute the trills—those continuous pitch variations—cleanly, and avoiding too much chest voice overall; sung that way, it likely won’t resonate beautifully.
You’ll need to skillfully use mixed voice in the mid-to-high range.
Using mixed (middle) voice well can be difficult without vocal training or lessons, but for now, try to focus on singing as gently and softly as possible.
Negotiationyouen kingyo
An R&B duo in Japan known for their exceptional taste and highly regarded by hardcore music aficionados, Yoen Kingyo.
Their signature is R&B with a strong hip-hop flavor, and while they remain under the radar, they’ve created numerous hidden gems.
Their new track, “Negotiation,” is a neo-soul piece reminiscent of Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, featuring melodic rap and exquisitely layered choruses.
Since every part sits in the low to low-mid range, it definitely demands groove, but in terms of vocal range, it’s a very singable song for women with lower voices.
The Ten CommandmentsAdo
When you think of Ado, her shouts in the mid-to-high range and the expressive high notes probably come to mind, right? While those aspects are certainly part of her appeal, her lower register actually holds a great deal of charm as well.
In her cover of Akina Nakamori’s classic “Jukkai (The Ten Commandments),” you can fully savor Ado’s rich low tones.
Since it’s an older song, the vocal line is very straightforward.
That simplicity leaves little room for the kinds of tricks you find in modern pop, but it also makes it easy to follow the pitch—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

threadNakajima Miyuki
Released in 1998 as Miyuki Nakajima’s 35th single, in a double A-side format with “Inochi no Betsumei.” Nakajima’s own voice has a very appealing quality in the lower to mid range, so this is an ideal song for people who feel confident in their low notes but struggle a bit with the highs when singing karaoke.
Although the song came out in 1998, it’s a classic Nakajima composition—by then she was already a veteran—and its melody carries the lineage of Showa-era folk, making it very easy to remember and sing.
You’ll rarely have trouble with vocal range or pitch in this song.
If possible, memorize the lyrics and sing expressively while understanding their meaning.
In the latter half of the chorus, just before the final closing phrase, be careful not to let the high note pop out and stand out awkwardly; aim for a soft, gentle delivery.
