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

That gentle girlsupittsu

Spitz / That Gentle Girl

It’s Spitz’s 42nd single, released in June 2019.

It’s a light, buoyant song with a bouncy shuffle beat that feels great, and perhaps because it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Natsuzora, just listening to it conjures up images of a refreshing summer sky.

Now, what happens when a woman sings this song? For female singers, even those who aren’t confident with high notes likely won’t produce the same taut, ringing high register as the original male vocal; instead, the range may come out quite easily.

As a result, the original sense of “freshness” might diminish a bit, but in exchange, it could become a song that evokes slightly sepia-toned scenes reminiscent of summer vacations from childhood.

I think it’s a song that can express a new worldview when sung by a woman, so I encourage you to give it a try!

Become a flowerflumpool

flumpool - Become a Flower (Music Video)

It’s ‘Hana ni Nare’ by flumpool.

The violin gives it a mysterious vibe.

The key is a bit high for men, but it’s just about right for women, so it should be easy for lower-voiced women to sing.

It’s mid-tempo, so I recommend singing it in the middle of a karaoke session when you want listeners to really take it in.

broad daylightKing Gnu

King Gnu – Hakujitsu

This is King Gnu’s second digital single, released in February 2019.

It was also the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Innocence: False Accusation Lawyer.” As you know, King Gnu is a band with a male vocalist, but the high parts sung in falsetto could work perfectly well for a female singer if taken an octave lower in chest voice.

The vibe of the song would be a bit different from the original, but that’s exactly where a unique charm of a female-sung version could emerge.

It might also be nice to perform it as a duet with a male singer!

Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN 'Song of the Wheels'

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!

TheaterMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Theater

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!
