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!
holly (Japanese holly tree, Ilex crenata)Do As Infinity
This is Hiiragi by Do As Infinity, a male-female duo that disbanded in 2005.
They reunited in 2009.
Do As Infinity is known for their strong vocals and has many fans.
This song uses the winter flower, the holly (hiiragi), as a metaphor for feelings of loneliness and pain, expressing those emotions earnestly.
The melody stays within a narrow range at the beginning, so even people who aren’t confident at karaoke may find it easy to sing.
Unchanging ThingsOku Hanako
This is Oku Hanako’s song “Kawaranai Mono,” which was used as an insert song in the film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
It’s included on the album TIME NOTE.
Oku Hanako’s songs often seem high in key, but that’s influenced by her vocal timbre.
When you actually try singing them, the key is quite comfortable for many women.
Sing it gently with a clear, straight tone.
Bud of LoveKōda Kumi
Kumi Koda’s 31st single, released in May 2006.
Kumi Koda is known as a female singer with a relatively husky, robust voice, so she’s one of the best artists for lower-voiced women to choose as karaoke material.
The song “Koi no Tsubomi” doesn’t have a wide vocal range in its melody, so even women who are not good with high notes and have lower voices should be able to sing it without strain.
One point to watch out for is the B-melody, which is sung in falsetto.
I recommend singing this part as close to the original as possible, using falsetto skillfully and gently.
If you can clearly create contrast in your voice within the song, I’m sure you’ll get high marks from those around you!
MICHIKUSANakamura Emi
Artist NakamuraEmi has gained popularity with a hip-hop-influenced sound.
Rather than hard-hitting rap, her style features a relaxed, warm delivery, and some songs incorporate jazz and reggae.
Among her works, the track MICHIKUSA is especially recommended for women with lower voices.
It has a very narrow vocal range, staying mostly in the mid register.
The rap parts also have an easy flow, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Female artists (41–50)
Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako
This is the fifth solo single by Takako Okamura, who debuted as part of the duo Aming, initially released in February 1987.
It’s one of Okamura’s signature songs, used as a theme for various TV programs and commercials, and in 2005 a remastered version was featured as the theme song for the film ‘Gyakkyo Nine.’ Although Okamura herself has said she wrote it as “just a heartbreak song,” it seems to be widely recognized by the public as a motivational anthem.
Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke, there aren’t any extremely high notes or tricky leaps, so even those who struggle with high pitches shouldn’t find it too difficult.
In performing it, you might want to keep in mind Okamura’s own view that “this is not a cheer song but a breakup song.” Instead of trying to cheer someone on, try singing it as a way to express your own bittersweet feelings.
Also, be careful to avoid letting the overall delivery become too flat.
Song of LoveKōda Kumi
This is Kumi Koda’s signature song, “Ai no Uta” (“Love Song”).
It’s a song that portrays the complex feelings of a young woman in love—something any woman in a relationship can relate to.
Her husky voice is incredibly captivating, isn’t it? It makes the song’s world feel more real and bittersweet.
When your heart feels restless with love, sing it at karaoke.
If you sing the verse shyly and the chorus with powerful, heartfelt emotion, you’ll feel refreshed!
