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

Princess Princess 'Diamonds <Diamond>'
DiamondPurinsesu Purinsesu

This was Princess Princess’s seventh single, released in April 1989.

It also appeared in a Sony cassette tape commercial and became the band’s first No.

1 on the Oricon singles chart.

The band’s vocalist, Kaori Okui, has a slightly husky, raspy tone that’s very appealing, so even if you’re not great with high notes, singing this in the original key at karaoke shouldn’t be too difficult.

The melody itself is easy to sing casually as well, so when you perform it at karaoke, listen closely to the snare drum in the backing track and be careful not to let your vocal rhythm become monotonous.

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.
