[Diva] Akina Nakamori’s easy-to-sing songs. Even for those who struggle with low notes (1–10)
FinNakamori Akina
As the title, which means “The End” in French, suggests, this is a rock-style song depicting the dramatic end of love.
With lyrics by Hajime Matsumoto, composition by Ken Sato, and arrangement by Jun Sato, it’s a masterpiece highly praised for its mature expressiveness.
The A section is sung in a lower range, almost spoken, and the pitch rises toward the chorus.
When singing, be careful not to drop your vocal placement too low.
Raising your hand above your head and directing your voice there, or lifting your eyebrows, can make it easier to produce low notes—highly recommended.
If you keep that placement even when the melody changes, you’ll find it easier to land the pitches smoothly, so give it a try.
SAND BEIGE -To the Desert-Nakamori Akina
A hallmark of exotic songs, it refers to the ocher and sandy hues of the desert, and uses keywords that express the scenery and emotions of a heartbroken woman who sets off for Egypt and what she sees there, depicting a fantastical, lyrical tale of parting.
This song later became the starting point for an exotic musical direction.
In the chorus, a flowing melodic line is characteristic, and breath placement is important.
Rather than singing everything in one go, if you sing each phrase one by one, I think you can catch the flow.
Try starting with an accent and letting your voice taper off at the end.
ShipwreckNakamori Akina
This is the 19th single, released on June 5, 1987, and a cover of a classic written and composed by singer-songwriter Tokiko Kato.
Its profound lyrics liken the end of love to a shipwreck, and Akina’s delicate, emotional vocal performance was highly praised, earning it the No.
1 spot on the Oricon chart as an enduring ballad.
It remains beloved by fans today as the pinnacle of a “serious ballad,” marked by intense emotional immersion.
The A melody sits low, so be careful not to strain your throat.
Raise your eyebrows firmly as you inhale, then release your voice slowly straight ahead; letting both voice and breath out together can make the low notes a bit easier.
The chorus should fall into a more comfortable range, so try singing it with a slightly more attacking approach.
AL-MAUJ (Al-Māj)Nakamori Akina
A signature song of the late 1980s’ more assertive style, it captivated many fans with its unique worldview.
True to its title, which means “wave” in Arabic, it’s a mysterious track characterized by an exotic, foreign-inspired atmosphere and a bittersweet vocal delivery with an adult mood.
The melody comes in solidly right from the start, and compared to other songs, the range isn’t excessively low.
It feels like you should sing each phrase with care and intention.
If you let your whole mouth resonate and produce a fuller, thicker tone, you should achieve a presence in your voice similar to Nakamori’s.
Keep that in mind as you sing.
Twilight -An Evening Dusk Letter-Nakamori Akina
A ballad written and composed by the sibling duo Etsuko and Takao Kisugi.
It was released to mark the first anniversary of her debut, featuring lyrics that depict nostalgic scenery and a sultry vocal performance.
It’s said to be a highly popular track among fans as a representative early ballad by Akina.
The A melody is sung quietly, almost like speaking, while the chorus is delivered boldly and firmly.
Since it gradually builds in intensity, it might be good to let your emotions burst in the chorus and sing with your full voice.
Try singing with a polished, slightly higher-placed tone.
Myth of 1/2Nakamori Akina
This song follows the rebellious “tsuppari” rock direction after the smash hit “Shoujo A.” With lyrics by Masao Urino and music by Yoshiyuki Ohsawa, it’s a classic of fast-paced rock kayō that strikingly captures the sharp emotions and throwaway lines of a teenage girl.
The sound, fusing hard rock-style guitar riffs with synthesizers, is super cool.
The structure builds toward the chorus, so put your voice solidly into the mic in the verse, and for the chorus, sing out with a sense of release for a really satisfying performance.
The track itself is a short 3 minutes and 20 seconds, so definitely learn it and give it a try!
Futari Shizuka – from The Tenkawa Legend Murder CaseNakamori Akina
It’s a masterpiece with a mysterious aura that emerged after their return from the 1989 hiatus.
It was written specifically as the theme song for the film “The Murders of the Tenkawa Legend,” with lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Makoto Sekiguchi.
The sound of the Chinese instrument erhu is striking, giving it a Japanese-style, ethnic-flavored ballad feel.
The song itself doesn’t sit too low in range, so it should be relatively easy for most women to sing.
If it still feels low, you can adjust the key, or try mastering some low-register techniques.
People tend to sing low notes from the throat, so you need to engage the vocal cords and turn them into a resonant singing voice.
Try placing your hand on your larynx to feel the vibration as you sing.
The key is to project the voice forward, right in front of you.
