[Diva] Akina Nakamori’s songs that are easy to sing. Even for those who struggle with low notes (21–30)
Your portraitNakamori Akina
A refined, gently flowing pop song crafted by the songwriting duo Takao Kisugi and Etsuko.
In stark contrast to the hard-edged style of “Shoujo A,” it highlights her idol-like charm and is an early, under-the-radar gem beloved by fans.
The overall vocal range spans F#3 to A#4, which might be on the higher side among Akina’s songs.
While the track has a smooth, almost understated feel, be careful not to let it become too uniform.
When singing, emphasize the start of each phrase firmly to avoid flatness and add definition.
Clearly enunciating the words may also work well.
Flowers in waterNakamori Akina
It’s extremely popular among fans as a “hidden gem,” with lyrics and vocals that are highly praised for expressing an urban sense of loneliness and the fleeting beauty of a quietly standing flower.
Unlike intense dance numbers or flashy tracks, it’s known as a calm, soothing melancholic ballad.
Since the song is performed in a quiet mood, it might be best to maintain a gently conversational tone throughout.
Using your breath while projecting a clear, straight tone should work very well for the atmosphere.
Try singing while moving your hand forward from your vocal cords and letting your breath flow.
Gypsy QueenNakamori Akina
Akina Nakamori’s “Gypsy Queen,” released in 1986, is distinguished by its exotic-sounding arrangement and is easy to try at karaoke.
With a clear, ringing voice, the transition from the A verse to the B verse gently settles while evoking a poignant ache that stirs the heart.
Nakamori’s vocals, fully showcasing her singing and expressive power, bring forth an exceptional melody, and the enveloping chorus is truly breathtaking.
The song’s range is comfortable for men as well, so if you’ve been wanting to try singing Nakamori’s songs, this is the one I recommend starting with.
BLONDENakamori Akina
“BLONDE” is Akina Nakamori’s 18th single, a song that highlights the chic, stylish romance of the bubble era.
In particular, the cool vibrato that rings out in the chorus accentuates her elegance.
Thanks to Nakamori’s superb vocal technique, many of her songs are simply difficult to sing, but this one seems relatively easier among them.
Its melody stays within a range that’s comfortable even for male singers, so it’s a recommended choice for men who want to try singing one of her songs.
TANGO NOIRNakamori Akina
This piece is themed around tango and brims with an exotic atmosphere.
Given Akina Nakamori’s vocal timbre and persona, she tends to suit this kind of song.
It’s also fun how the city-pop style—accented by the then-popular electronic drums—gradually takes on a tango feeling.
When singing it at karaoke, try keeping things restrained and mature up to the chorus, then unleash your full power in the chorus—you might find it clicks nicely.
It’s a track I’d love to see men try as well.
What a romantic night.Nakamori Akina
EPO, who scored hits as a singer-songwriter with songs like “Saturday Night is Paradise” and “U, Fu, Fu, Fu,” is a leading artist of 1980s J-pop.
Here is a song she provided to Akina Nakamori.
With both lyrics and music by EPO, this track gives the impression of stylish, urban sophistication characteristic of the era.
The alternating sections—some with a driving beat and others with a floating, airy feel—likely make it easier to express yourself when singing it at karaoke.
DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina
Written by lyricist Yoko Aki and composed by Kisaburo Suzuki, this song was released in 1986 as the 14th single.
Its structure brings the chorus in right at the very beginning, which felt innovative, didn’t it? Speaking of innovation, the bob wig and the kimono-inspired outfit were also striking for the time.
It was around then that a trend toward wearing kimonos casually began to take shape, wasn’t it? While the chorus showcases her beautifully expansive vibrato, the melody is relatively easy to remember, so please feel free to give it a try.
