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.

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?

This is the second digital-only single by the music duo Yorushika, released in March 2020.

It was also used as an insert song in the feature-length animated film “A Whisker Away.” The vocalist of Yorushika, suis, has a singing voice that contains very beautiful higher-order overtones, so people who struggle with high notes might shy away after just one listen.

However, I feel that the vocal melody’s range is one that many women can sing without much difficulty.

Even in the high-register sections like the chorus, try practicing so you can produce the sound as gently as possible.

If you sing with the image of sending your breath slowly toward the center of your upper palate, I think you’ll get a really nice tone—so please give it a try if you like.

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.

Ayaka / A Better Day – Lyric Video – (Included on the album “LOVE CYCLE,” out 2/1)
On a better dayayaka

A digital-only single by Japanese singer Ayaka, released on April 11, 2021.

As expected of Ayaka, whose vocal ability is highly acclaimed, this track showcases her wonderfully solid and powerful low register.

Especially in the A-melody sections, I think it’s a song that female singers who are good with low notes can sing really well.

For the high notes in the chorus, you’ll need to have techniques like mixed voice, so overall the song might be a bit challenging to sing.

Still, I definitely recommend selecting it for karaoke and giving it a try.

FREAKELAIZA

Elaiza Ikeda has achieved great success both as an actress and as an artist.

Under the name ELAIZA, she continues to make a striking impact on Japan’s music scene.

Among her songs, one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is FREAK.

Its alternative rock style is reminiscent of early Shiina Ringo.

While it’s not a song with a particularly narrow vocal range, it doesn’t require belting, so I think it’s quite comfortable to sing for women with lower voices.

Male artists (281–290)

Songs with male vocals are a treasure trove of tracks where women with low voices can really shine!

Songs with male vocals sung by women confident in their mid-to-low range—women with deeper voices—can take on a whole new vibe in a great way! In particular, many recent male singers have androgynous vocal tones, so there are plenty of tracks I’d recommend to women with lower voices. From among those male-vocal songs, I’ve selected ones that sound even more compelling when sung by women!

This is Motohiro Hata’s 17th single, released in August 2014.

Hata’s songs, which mainly use mixed voice and emphasize the mid-to-high range, might be very easy to choose as karaoke material for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes.

When a woman sings it, the melody would likely be taken an octave lower, so the result will differ from the original, which features belted high notes in the chorus.

However, by turning that into an advantage and delivering a softer vocal performance, it can definitely become a really nice rendition.

Ghost AvenueEVE

I think Eve’s songs include a relatively large number that are easy for lower-voiced female singers to sing.

The vocal range for this time’s “Ghost Avenue” is E3–A4, and it sits more in the low to mid range rather than the high range, so there aren’t many parts where you need to belt.

The main thing to watch out for when singing is the rhythm! The song has a bouncy groove overall, so keeping the beat with your hands or body while you sing will help you get into the groove and make it easier to sing.

Eve’s music spans various genres, so definitely listen to different tracks and add them to your repertoire!
