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.

Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s popular song “Sharin no Uta” (“Song of the Wheels”).
Women who have tried to sing BUMP songs—have you ever given up thinking, “The verse is way too low…”? Some of their tracks are in keys that are tough even for women with lower voices.
But this song’s verse isn’t that low, and the chorus sits at a height that feels great for female vocals.
Give it a try!
cherry blossomKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in November 2005.
It’s a very beautiful ballad, and it’s also one of those songs that takes on a new charm when sung by a female vocalist.
I’ve included Anri Kumaki’s cover version in Video 2, so please use it as a reference.
While Kumaki’s version presents a fully realized image of the song as a “female vocal piece,” there’s no need to be bound by that—feel free to express your own version of “Sakura” in your own way!
TheaterMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is a song included on the best-of album released in July 2020, pronounced “Theater.” With a tempo of 140, it’s very easy to groove to.
The overall vocal range is E3–D5, and while the pitch rises a bit from the chorus, I think it’s an easy song to sing in chest voice.
For about the first three minutes, keeping a strong sense of rhythm and singing firmly will really bring out the character of the song.
From around the three-minute mark, the accompaniment briefly drops out and Omori’s falsetto stands out, so sing this part gently, using your breath.
Take a good breath, and try producing your falsetto as if letting a thin stream of sound out from directly above your head.
After that, the same melody continues and the intensity gradually builds, so it’s a section you’ll want to sing grandly and pleasurably.
If you take solid breaths between phrases and sing each one carefully, I think it will feel great to sing.
Try imagining yourself singing right in the middle of a vast grassland!
Male artist (41–50)
cherry blossomMoriyama Naotaro
This was Naotaro Moriyama’s second single, released in March 2003.
Although it’s a male-vocal song, Moriyama himself has a very androgynous voice, so it might actually feel more natural when sung by a woman.
In terms of melodic range, it’s high for a typical male key but on the low side for most women—making it one of the best choices for lower-voiced female singers.
Many of my female vocal training students choose this song, too.
The lyrics also sound completely natural when sung by a woman, so give it a try.
Gray and BlueYonezu Kenshi + Suda Masaki
A track released on various music streaming services starting October 11, 2017, as an advance release from Kenshi Yonezu’s fourth album, BOOTLEG.
It was produced with actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.
Incidentally, the same song is also included on Masaki Suda’s first album.
Judging by the credits alone, you might briefly think it’s a “duet,” but it doesn’t really feel like one; it’s a song that can be fully performed as a solo.
If a woman with a boyish voice sings it, the track comes across as calmer and quite lovely.
I think it would be a great choice for women with lower voices!
BFFMrs. GREEN APPLE
It seems that the performance style of “BFF” features only the three members of Mrs.
Green Apple, with no supporting instruments.
Each sound is clean, making it a simple ballad.
The vocal range is C3 to D5, with C#4 used frequently throughout the song.
The first note of the A melody is the lowest pitch, which might make it a bit tricky to hit accurately.
For the low notes, focus not on “pushing strongly” but on “releasing your voice slowly.” If you lift your facial muscles properly and project your voice as if placing it right in front of you, it will resonate well even in the low register.
By the way, when singing, it’s generally ideal to keep your facial muscles lifted the entire time.
I always tell my students this, and since Omori-san often does it, be sure to watch closely! Also, there’s humming in the song, so definitely try it.
If you can hum lightly, singing the rest will become easier!
LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song is included on the 5th album “ANTENNA,” released on July 4, 2023, and it conveys Ms.
Omori’s strength and gentleness.
The overall vocal range is C3–D5, but there aren’t many high notes in the song; it mostly sits around G3, so I think it’s a piece you can sing almost entirely in chest voice.
That said, there are spots where falsetto appears—switch lightly into head voice, aiming for a gentle head resonance.
The chorus is where the emotion really surges and you can feel the power.
Keep a solid sense of rhythm and hit the first note cleanly.
Also, when the melody changes, be mindful of pitch.
If your singing style shifts drastically, you may tense up or strain your throat, so keep your facial muscles lifted to prevent the pitch from dropping.
Try to maintain the sensation of resonance around the glabella (between the eyebrows) throughout.
