Female (31–40)
Azure RabbitNoriko Sakai
Noriko Sakai, the idol singer affectionately known as Nori-P.
Despite past scandals, her cute songs are still loved by people of her generation.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Aoi Usagi (Blue Rabbit).
This song spans a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A to high C, but since the highest note is only a high C, the high phrases aren’t particularly hard to sing.
Considering when it was released, it’s likely to be sung by those who’ve gained some years since then, so you may find that even the lower phrases, including the lowest notes, are easier to produce than you might expect.
Summeringjin
Jin, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a novelist and screenwriter.
He’s created many classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend is Summering.
It’s his new song, characterized by a sound that evokes Japanese rock.
Many people think of Vocaloid songs as having a wide vocal range, but that’s not the case here.
There’s only one high part in the chorus, and even then it’s not so high that you’d need falsetto.
Anyone with a typical female vocal range should be able to sing it comfortably.
Be sure to check it out.
aporiaYorushika
Yorushika is a musical duo that keeps delivering hit after hit.
Their song “Aporia” has just been released.
This track features A and B sections that highlight vocalist suis’s lower register.
While the chorus does rise, it still stays within the mid range, making it better suited for women with lower voices rather than the average female range.
If you want to perform it more skillfully, try using a whispery vocal technique that mixes in breath, like suis does.
Never Grow Upchanmina
Female rapper Chanmina, who enjoys overwhelming support from women in their teens and twenties.
Released in 2019, this track gained popularity with its tropical house-inspired sound and downbeat, whisper-like vocals.
The song’s range is mid2A to hiD#, which is high but relatively narrow overall.
Since the key can be lowered sufficiently, it’s one of the more singable songs among Chanmina’s works.
Because of the nature of rap, there tend to be fewer breakpoints, so it’s recommended to adjust your vocal output to align with the sections where you can take proper breaths.
Give me a gentle kiss.DREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a very emotional love song, and it really feels like you can immerse yourself in its world.
I sing this one often too, and since the notes used are basically from F#3 up an octave, it’s a song you can sing without too much strain.
If other DREAMS COME TRUE songs are too high for you, try “Yasashii Kiss o Shite.” There’s a high D5 that comes in partway through, but give it a solid accent and sing it comfortably! You can take plenty of breath before you start phonating, so imagine taking a big inhale through your mouth and launching into the sound with a running start.
Also, the “n” line can be tricky to pronounce.
Pushing your voice out more than you think you need to is probably just right! If you aim your voice into the distance as you do this, it’ll come out smoothly without catching in your throat.
Memory ScrollAKB48
It’s an idol song, but since it’s not overly sparkly, I think it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
The structure is very straightforward—verse A to verse B to the chorus—with the energy building in order, so even if your range is narrow, adding momentum to each melodic section may help you gradually get a feel for projecting your voice.
That said, the chorus is a bit high.
If it’s hard to sing in chest voice, don’t push yourself—use falsetto.
Falsetto uses a lot of breath, so with practice, you might suddenly find yourself able to produce a stronger falsetto! Try inhaling through your mouth properly and singing as if you’re sending your voice forward.
SmileMori Nana
Mori Nana’s debut song “Smile” is actually a cover of a classic by HOF DYNAMITE from 1996.
I didn’t know this myself until a student told me when they said they wanted to sing “Smile.” We watched the original PV together and really felt the era! “Smile” has a relatively narrow vocal range, but it suddenly jumps up in pitch in the C section.
If you’re not comfortable with high notes in chest voice, use your head voice skillfully in that part.
My student practiced that section a lot—raising the facial muscles and aiming the voice straight up in a narrow, focused way.
Also, if you lock into the rhythm where the words flow continuously, it helps you place accents more consciously and makes them easier to produce.
Try singing it carefully with that in mind.
