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.

[Official] Noriyuki Makihara “I Won’t Fall in Love Again” (Music Video) [5th Single] (1992) Noriyuki Makihara / Mou Koi Nante Shinai

This is Noriyuki Makihara’s fifth single, released in May 1992.

In terms of vocal range, it’s a song that women can sing comfortably, even if they’re not confident with high notes.

Makihara’s voice in the original is very clear, so it wouldn’t feel out of place at all for a woman to sing it.

There’s a certain mysterious charm to a breakup song with lyrics from a male perspective being sung by a woman.

If you can convey the worldview of the lyrics with that uniquely feminine sensibility, I think it will add a fresh new appeal to the song!

It’s Sukima Switch’s second single, released in March 2004.

Songs like this one—male vocal tracks centered on a mixed voice with an overall soft touch, characteristic of Sukima Switch—often work well as songs for lower-voiced female singers too, not just this track.

This is definitely one I’d love to hear sung by a woman with a calm, subdued tone.

A track included on Kenshi Yonezu’s fifth studio album, STRAY SHEEP.

The album was released in August 2020, with the track made available for digital streaming ahead of the album in July of the same year.

It’s a medium-tempo, lively, and very cool song—great for karaoke, where it’s sure to hype up the room and make for a solid selection.

As for Yonezu’s vocals, he skillfully weaves between mixed voice and falsetto, and I actually think this makes it an ideal piece for women with lower voices rather than men.

Many women, even those with lower ranges, will likely be able to sing it entirely in chest voice.

If you’re a woman concerned about having a husky voice, give it a try and show off a cool vocal tone like his!

For women in their teens and twenties, the first name that likely comes to mind when you think of a low-voiced artist is Sora Tomonari, right? His songs feature so many low phrases that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the prodigy of low-register tracks.

Among them, “ACTOR” showcases an especially sultry, low tone.

The song has a somewhat gothic vibe, so it’s recommended to highlight the low notes while mixing in some whispery vocals.

There are a few high phrases here and there, but they’re simply an octave up; if you sing the lower line, you won’t have any issues with high notes.

When Love Ends – Rin-ne (Official Music Video)

Rapper Rin-ne, who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

He’s not what you’d call a strictly underground, hardcore rapper; rather, he’s an overground artist with many love-themed songs, and his pop sensibility has made him especially popular among teen girls.

His classic track “Koi ga Owareba” (“When Love Ends”) is a captivating work featuring lyrics that capture the bittersweetness of romance and a delicate vocal line.

Because it’s a mellow rap, pitch plays a significant role, but the parts are on the lower side and there aren’t big jumps in melody, so I think even lower-voiced women can sing it well.
