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.

Aina the End is a singer who lets us hear a very calm, captivating low register! I found her simple, unadorned tone and singing style incredibly appealing.

It’s true there are some high notes in the chorus where she uses falsetto, but don’t worry about that—just sing simply and naturally, like she does.

I think it’s one of the best choices for women with lower voices!

Someone more important than a friendGoriki Ayame

Ayame Gōriki “A Person More Important Than Friends”
Someone more important than a friendGoriki Ayame

Released in July 2013 as Ayame Gouriki’s debut single.

This is a song I can recommend not only to those who struggle with high notes—the theme of this piece—but also to people who find singing itself difficult.

That said, I’m not claiming Ayame Gouriki’s vocal ability is low; rather, the song is composed so that you can fully enjoy singing it without needing special vocal skills or expressive power.

Coupled with Gouriki’s simple, youthful charm, it’s been crafted into a track that demonstrates more than enough power as a single.

Don’t overthink it—just sing and have fun.

Even if you’re not confident in your singing, I’m sure you’ll discover the joy of it!

Boo…raisan

Reisan is a band formed mainly by Saya from the comedy duo Lalande and Enon Kawatani from Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

Their sound is characterized by sophistication, with a well-balanced infusion of Black music influences and a reputation for downer, moody melodies.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Uramesshiya.

It maintains a very calm atmosphere throughout, with no high parts.

Because it leans toward a downer vibe, breath control is key—if you focus on vocal weight and audible breaths while singing, it will highlight the appeal of women with low-pitched voices.

Cent Chihiro Chicchi, who was active as a member of BiSH, has transitioned to a solo artist after the group disbanded, and thanks to her wide-ranging musicality, she’s been making waves second only to AiNA THE END among BiSH’s members.

The work in which she co-stars with Uta, known from Wednesday Campanella, is this piece titled “jack quaid claudia doumit.” This stylish, downer-tinged track is marked by a narrow vocal range and a gently undulating melody line.

Sung by a woman with a lower voice, it will likely sound even more seductive.

Women Artists (271–280)

applausechiaki naomi

This was Naomi Chiaki’s 13th single overall, released in September 1972.

It’s truly a classic of the Showa-era kayōkyoku genre.

It sold over 1.3 million copies in total, and with this song Chiaki won the Grand Prize at the 14th Japan Record Awards in 1972.

From the very beginning, Chiaki’s wonderfully alluring low voice jumps out and immediately draws the listener into the world of the song.

True to Showa-era kayōkyoku, the melody and structure are very simple compared to today’s music, making it extremely easy to sing and remember.

Of course, as fits the theme of this piece—women with low voices—it’s also a very singable number for them.

With this song, why not occasionally immerse yourself in the world of Showa-era kayōkyoku?

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her stylish musicality.

Heavily influenced by Western music, she excels at complex rhythms and vocal lines that you don’t often hear in mainstream J-pop.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Mermaid.

It’s a chic, subdued track reminiscent of Billie Eilish, arranged mostly in the higher register.

High notes might seem challenging for women with lower voices, but because the song’s range is quite narrow, if you set it to the right key, it’s actually very singable.

A quintessential song of summer, ZARD’s classic “Yureru Omoi” is characterized by its pleasant melody.

The gently emotive opening has been becoming a karaoke staple.

For example, the bittersweet melody in the chorus really grips listeners’ hearts, yet it actually doesn’t rely heavily on high notes, giving it a subtle charm that doesn’t limit who can sing it.

Indeed, it’s easy to sing for both men and women, and the fact that you can comfortably attempt it without changing the key is likely one reason for its popularity.

Like the dazzling summer sunshine, why not try singing “Yureru Omoi” in the original key and enjoy a uniquely personal karaoke time?
