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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your voice when I sleepANNA
Emerging in the late 2010s and now solidifying her place with vocals that are both catchy and cool, singer-songwriter Anna has become a standout.
Many of you have probably heard her songs on TikTok and elsewhere.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend is ‘Your Voice When I Sleep.’ While the melody has a touch of strength, the overall range isn’t very wide, with most of it sitting in the mid register.
By singing it with a thicker, richer tone than the original, low-voiced female singers can make the most of their strengths.
Chocolate DiscoPerfume
Chocolate Disco is a surefire hit for any gathering of people in their 20s and 30s! The chorus repeats the same lyrics in a simple pattern, so everyone can hum along, and even if someone there doesn’t know the song, they’ll be able to join in the fun from the second verse!
