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.

Women Artists (281–290)

SINKERsuisō

Suiso is a multi-artist who’s active both as a Vocaloid producer and a singer-songwriter.

Among female vocalists, she has an especially captivating low register, and her cool, stylish vocals are highly regarded within the industry.

Of all her songs, the one I particularly recommend is SINKER.

It features many low parts sung in a whispery voice, making it not only easy for low-voiced women to sing, but also a great showcase for their appeal.

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?

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.

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!
