A Naked Heartaimyon
A song by Aimyon released in June 2020.
She feels absolutely at her peak right now—her charm is exploding—and that slightly husky voice and her singing ability… or rather, her expressive power, is truly striking! “Naked Heart” is an extremely straightforward ballad with a simple arrangement that hardly feels like a song from 2020, and the fact that a singer in her twenties delivers it with such expressive depth is really impressive.
She isn’t relying on any arrangement gimmicks at all! Because it’s an Aimyon song like this, performing it perfectly might be a bit of a high bar, but the melody is very simple and easy to grasp, and there aren’t any flashy high notes either, so it’s a song I’d love to recommend to women with husky voices.
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis,” known as Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis or just “Zan-te,” is an ever-popular anime song.
Its singable melody and high recognition make it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
The chorus is a bit high, but overall it sits in a lower range and is easy to sing.
It also sounds natural if you lower the key, so it’s perfect for women with lower voices.
Give it a try!
AldebaranAI
AI’s digital-only single was released on November 1, 2021, as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Come Come Everybody.” It’s a beautiful ballad that lets you fully enjoy AI’s husky, powerful vocals.
The way she uses mixed voice in the B melody can serve as a great reference for vocal expression.
Even in the strong, soaring chorus, her singing never turns rough, showcasing AI’s high level of vocal skill and expressive ability.
It may be quite difficult to sing it just like she does simply because you have a low voice or are good at low notes; however, being strong in the lower register is definitely an advantage when performing this song.
Give it a try!
Tears aren’t just for show.Nakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori released this as her 10th single in November 1984.
The lyrics and composition are by Yosui Inoue, who later released a self-cover version himself.
Since Akina Nakamori naturally has a slightly muffled, lower-pitched voice, this song is ideal for women with lower voices who struggle with high notes.
The key point when singing this song is whether you can clearly convey the low register.
The A-melody features many very low notes, so even women who are confident in their low range might find it a bit challenging.
Fortunately, the high notes don’t go that high, so you might consider raising the karaoke key to make the A-melody part come through clearly.
NAOHY
This is the song “Nao” by HY, a hugely popular band from Okinawa.
It’s included on the album “Confidence.” In this track you can enjoy both vocalist Izumi Nakasone’s powerful low range and her clear, airy falsetto.
It’s a heartbreaking breakup song whose sorrowful vocals really hit you in the chest.
Since it’s a relaxed, slow-paced song, take in more breath than usual and sing it fully! It’s a song that really shines because of its lower vocal range.
HEROAmuro Namie
Released in July 2016 as Namie Amuro’s 45th single, the “Heisei-era songstress” was chosen as the theme song for NHK’s broadcasts of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics.
Although Amuro is semi-deified due to her astonishing sales record, in terms of pure vocal ability she hasn’t exactly reached the realm of a “hardcore vocalist,” so there’s no need to be intimidated when singing this song at karaoke.
The key is how well you can recreate the clever contrast: a somewhat muffled tone in the verses (A and B sections) that sit mostly in the low-to-mid range, switching in the chorus to a bright, open vocal quality.
The chorus isn’t especially high in pitch, so even those not confident with high notes should manage as long as they focus on keeping a bright tone.
Prioritize conveying a sense of openness in the chorus as you sing.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
Released in 2001 as ZONE’s third single, this song was written and composed by Norihiko Machida.
It served as the theme song for the drama Kids War 3 starring Mao Inoue, and to this day it has been covered by a remarkable number of artists.
The vocal range is a bit on the high side, but since the song has a steady, understated feel, lowering the key makes it comfortable for lower-voiced female singers.
