Tomonari Sora – “Bergamot” [Lyric Video]

Sora Tomonari is known for an enchanting, fantasy-like musical style.

While he’s often associated with a distinctly Japanese-inspired, ethereal sound, he also has smoother tracks.

One of them is Bergamot.

It features a somewhat city pop-like finish, delivering an adult, smooth feel throughout.

Among Tomonari’s works, this song has a particularly narrow vocal range, so as long as you set an appropriate key, it won’t be too low.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Dong, Nan, Xi, BeiToki Asako

Asako Toki / “Dong, Nan, Xi, Bei” Lyric Video

Asako Toki is a female singer-songwriter and the daughter of jazz saxophonist Hideshi Toki.

Known for her refined musical sensibilities, her appeal lies in a genreless style that incorporates various influences, including but not limited to jazz.

Among her songs, a standout recommendation is Dong, Nan, Xi, Bei.

With a sound close to Chinese pop, it blends chic aesthetics with distinctly Chinese pop melodies that really shine.

Given the style, you might expect a high vocal line, but surprisingly, the song has a narrow range, making it quite singable for women with lower voices.

MermaidYuka

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her stylish musicality.

Strongly influenced by Western music, she excels at complex rhythms and vocal lines rarely found in mainstream Japanese pop.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Mermaid.” It’s a chic, quiet piece reminiscent of Billie Eilish, and it stays mostly in the high register.

High notes might seem challenging for women with lower voices, but this song’s range is quite narrow, so as long as you adjust it to the right key, it’s actually rather easy to sing.

SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – 「SNOW DANCE」

DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.

For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.

Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.

Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.

Give it a try for reference.

Dear My FriendEvery Little Thing

「Dear My Friend 」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

When it comes to singing this song, the tempo sits in a comfortable medium-to-upbeat range, and the melodic range isn’t very wide, so I think even those who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to sing.

However, there are a few spots in the D section that require some higher notes, and the final chorus modulates and goes up in key, so please be careful with the karaoke key settings.

Overall, as long as you keep a good groove and avoid dragging the rhythm, you’ll be fine!
