[For Women] Songs with a narrow vocal range and easy key adjustment! (161–170)

Melody for TomorrowOka Midori

Tomorrow’s Melody is a pop ballad that steps beyond the realms of enka and kayōkyoku.

Released in 2021, it became a masterpiece that marked a new chapter for Midori Oka.

The song was composed under the name “Komorita Minoru” by Minoru Komorita, known for crafting many classics including SMAP’s massive hits like Dynamite and Lion Heart.

Its poignant yet powerful melody will feel familiar to anyone who often sings J-pop at karaoke.

Among Oka’s songs, the vocal range here is relatively narrow, and the pitch doesn’t jump around drastically, so once you learn the melody it should be easy to sing.

From there, try focusing on expressing the emotional nuances—just like Oka does.

A City Dyed in Apricot Sunset — New VersionNakamura Mitsuko

Speaking of Mitsuko Nakamura, her vocals are characterized by the effective use of falsetto.

In particular, she often uses a hiccup-like flip in her vibrato, and this work employs such vocal techniques throughout.

It might seem difficult, but vibrato that incorporates hiccups tends to be easier than standard vibrato.

Since this piece features a lot of hiccup-focused vibrato, the overall difficulty is relatively low.

The range is also narrow, so if hiccups are tricky for you, lowering the key and singing in chest voice is recommended.

Among the Sakamichi groups, Keyakizaka46 has been gaining momentum in particular.

The Sakamichi groups have always been appealing for their stylish musicality, but with the recent K-pop boom, we’ve seen more music that pushes a sharper edge.

Their new song, “Nightmare Syndrome,” is exactly that.

It’s a fusion of gothic and pop, with a sound reminiscent of Sam Smith’s “Unholy.” The production emphasizes low frequencies throughout, and the vocal lines aren’t as complex as typical K-pop, making it a very singable track for women with lower voices.

Love & PopHaze

Right now, the girls’ rock band Haze is rapidly gaining momentum.

Formed around Katti, a former member of ZOC, the band has been drawing popularity with an authentic Japanese rock sound and a husky vocal tone reminiscent of Aina the End.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, “Love & Pop.” Though the husky vocals might give it a powerful feel, the actual range is narrow and there aren’t complex pitch jumps, making it relatively easy to sing.

However, be aware that the hiccup vocal technique appears multiple times, so that part requires attention.

Angel in my heartSIZUKU

A song by singer and actress SIZUKU, digitally released in July 2023.

It is the theme song for the TV drama “I Used to Be an Idol, Now I’m a Delivery Driver,” starring Yuma Teranishi and featuring SIZUKU herself as the heroine, which begins airing on BS Fuji from July 2.

The track unfolds quite dramatically—starting with a ballad-style opening, shifting to an up-tempo feel, and returning to a ballad tone toward the end.

Despite this, the vocal melody remains consistently easy to sing throughout, and the vocal range used isn’t very wide.

As long as you keep up with the song’s development, I think it will be very easy for anyone to sing.

Mint Cherry CakeToki Asako

Asako Toki is a female singer-songwriter with a jazz backbone.

She’s known for her wide-ranging musicality, from avant-garde jazz tunes to Black music centered on R&B.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Mint Cherry Cake.

This track features a city-pop-like vibe, and while it’s upbeat, the vocal line stays composed within a relatively narrow range.

The pitch movement is gentle as well, so purely as a song, it’s not very difficult.

The popular idol group, Atarashii Gakko no Leaders.

With their distinctive sound that mixes Showa-era pop and hip-hop, they’ve been dominating the top of the charts.

Their new song is Omakase.

This track leans more heavily into Showa pop than usual and delivers a powerful impression throughout.

That said, the vocal line has a relatively narrow range, so it’s easier to sing than it sounds.

For women who can project well in their lower register, it’s especially singable—definitely give it a listen.
