A must-see for low-voiced women! Popular songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

Kiss FoxHIMEHINA
The song “Kisu Kitsune” is currently enjoying overwhelming support in the cover-singing and Vocaloid communities.
It’s a work by HIMEHINA, a virtual YouTuber duo consisting of Hime Tanaka and Hina Suzuki, and is characterized by their perfectly synchronized vocals.
While the piece doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it contains few high phrases that rely heavily on falsetto; from the A section to the B section, it’s primarily built around lines that make use of rich, low tones.
It’s recommended for those who want to emphasize a lower vocal timbre with a slightly rock-tinged style.
A Little SongJUJU
JUJU is also an artist who brings out a gentle low register, and she has lots of easy-to-listen-to songs! The A and B sections have a calm feel based on the mid-to-low range, so sing carefully, one phrase at a time.
Also, the final chorus modulates and goes higher—the top note reaches D5—so it might be a bit tough for lower-voiced women, but be careful not to strain your throat or belt.
Sing with the sensation of a soft hum, imagining the sound resonating in your forehead and the top of your head.
Doing this may expand your vocal range and help you sing a wider variety of songs!

TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
It was Mayo Okamoto’s debut single, released in May 1995.
It also served as the theme song for the TBS drama “Second Chance.” Mayo Okamoto herself doesn’t particularly give the impression of having a low or thick voice, but the vocal range used in the melody isn’t very wide, so it may be easier to select as a karaoke option for women with lower voices—those who aren’t comfortable with high notes.
Because the song is composed with relatively little range between high and low notes, there’s a risk it can sound very flat if you just breeze through it.
Please keep that in mind and pay close attention to expression when you sing it.
To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon
This is Aimyon’s ninth single overall, released in October 2019.
It also serves as the ending theme song for the film “Her Blue Sky.” This track is ideal for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes to sing at karaoke.
For some, the high notes in the chorus might feel a bit tough, but using the karaoke key change function to lower it by about -1 or -2 should make it manageable.
You don’t need to skillfully switch among chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto; you can sing the whole song in chest voice, which makes it a good recommendation for those who aren’t confident singers.
Rather than fixating on “singing perfectly,” focus on giving it your all—you’ll likely deliver a performance that truly resonates with listeners.
Just be careful not to get sloppy in the lower-pitched A-melody sections; even though they’re easier in terms of range, don’t let that lead to careless singing.
moonlightOnitsuka Chihiro
This was Chihiro Onitsuka’s second single, released in August 2000.
It also became a big hit as the theme song for the drama “Trick.” Originally, there were no plans to release it as a single, but the drama’s huge success led to a sudden decision to put it out.
Onitsuka’s songs are characterized by her very gentle, composed vocal tone, making this an ideal choice for women with similarly lower voice types.
That said, it may be quite difficult for most people to replicate this level of vocal skill in karaoke.
There are plenty of high-tone sections, and she adroitly switches between chest voice in her natural register and a soft, tender falsetto.
Precisely because of that, it’s a song worth challenging yourself with—so give it a try!
JupiterHirahara Ayaka
It was Ayaka Hirahara’s debut single, released in December 2003.
The song itself is “Jupiter” from British composer Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets, with Japanese lyrics added.
So even if you don’t know Hirahara’s version, many of you have probably heard the melody.
Now, this song is indeed difficult for women who can’t produce low notes; it suits singers who are strong in the lower register, but it also goes up into fairly high notes.
Since the original melody wasn’t composed with “singing” in mind, some of the leaps into the high notes feel unnatural from a vocalist’s perspective, and I’d say it takes considerable vocal skill to pull it off.
That said, if you can nail the switches from low to high, and from chest voice to falsetto, you’ll definitely earn the respect of your peers.
If you’re interested in tackling a song at this level, this might be a good time to consider taking voice training lessons.
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
When people hear this song, many probably remember the NHK program Project X, right? That’s how widely known and strongly evocative this piece is: Miyuki Nakajima’s “Chijō no Hoshi” (Stars Over the Land).
This song is a good example, but many of her works feel like something rising from deep within the heart—feelings that turn into words and ride on the melody.
If you sing with that image in mind, you’ll sing it well!
