[Standard Karaoke] Songs with lower vocal ranges that are easy for women in their 50s to sing (1–10)
StoryNEW!AI
AI’s signature song, “Story.” It’s also very popular among vocal training students, and many people with lower voices start with this song! Released by Universal Music on May 18, 2005 as her 12th single, it’s a million-selling ballad.
The tempo is relaxed, making it highly recommended for beginners.
The song stays within a range that’s easy for low-voiced women to sing, but a sudden high note appears in the C-melody, which is where everyone struggles.
I recommend aiming your accents “far away” to project your voice without forcing it.
Clearing the C-melody and then entering the final chorus feels great, so keep that part in mind and give it a try!
PRIDENEW!Imai Miki
It was released on November 4, 1996 as her 12th single.
This love song was written, composed, and arranged by guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei, who later became Miki Imai’s husband, and it became Imai’s biggest hit, selling over a million copies.
The overall vocal range of the song is G#3 to A#4, and because it’s sung in a consistently calm range with a quiet atmosphere, it’s recommended even for those who find high notes difficult.
The tempo is also relaxed, so it should be easy to trace the melody carefully, note by note.
If you try singing while putting your feelings into the lyrics, your voice will come out naturally and it will be easier to sing.
atonementNEW!Teresa Ten
This is the 14th single, released on January 21, 1984.
It was a huge hit that came close to a million seller and became one of the signature songs marking the start of her golden era in Japan.
While some may think of “Toki no Nagare ni Mi o Makase” when it comes to Teresa Teng, for this theme I think “Tsugunai” fits better in terms of vocal range.
It would be quite striking if a woman with a low voice sang it in a calm tone.
Since the chorus gradually rises in range, be careful not to let the phrasing get sloppy.
If you sing as if projecting your voice farther away, your voice should come out smoothly and you’ll be able to sing cleanly.
Falling in LoveNEW!Kobayashi Akiko
This is Akiko Kobayashi’s signature song, which became a huge hit as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “To the Wives on Friday III: Falling in Love” and was released on August 31, 1985.
The melody is very simple, but since a fair amount of English lyrics appear from the second verse, some people may have avoided it.
The overall vocal range of the song is wide, from G#3 to C#5, but the highest notes are in the elevated part of the chorus, so if you can clear that section with falsetto, I think you can add it to your list of songs that are easy to sing.
To smoothly hit the pitches, always raise your eyebrows and project your voice forward from the position of your eyebrows.
If that feels difficult, simply holding your hand at eyebrow level while you sing should help you stay aware of it, so give it a try.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessNEW!Matsutōya Yumi
It’s also widely known as the ending theme of Studio Ghibli’s film Kiki’s Delivery Service, and the positive message in the lyrics has been loved across generations.
The acoustic guitar gives it a very gentle, soothing feel, doesn’t it? The overall vocal range is F3–A#4, and while some parts of the chorus may feel a bit high, since the vibe isn’t forceful, it’s a good idea to sing those sections softly in falsetto.
Rather than singing powerfully, staying true to the title and singing gently will help the song come together beautifully.
Try singing with a light side-to-side sway.
stationNEW!Takeuchi Mariya
This is a minor-key ballad written for Akina Nakamori in 1986.
It portrays a bittersweet scene in which the narrator spots a former lover by chance at a station at dusk, chooses not to speak, boards the neighboring car, and says goodbye in her heart.
I actually didn’t know that “Eki” was a self-cover and had assumed it was an original song by Mariya Takeuchi! Since it wasn’t even released as a single for Akina, it might not be very well known.
I realized that the more restrained vocal range compared to Takeuchi’s other songs makes sense for that reason.
The song sits lower than you might expect, so be careful not to strain your throat when singing.
If you add some momentum as you enter the chorus, your voice should come out more smoothly.
Ah, heartlessNEW!An Ruisu
It’s a rock number that was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Season of Doubt: Woman Wars,” and it became a huge hit following “Roppongi Shinju.” This song really heats things up—at karaoke, live shows, or even at a snack bar.
The chorus allows for call-and-response, so the person singing looks like they’re having fun, and the listeners can enjoy it a lot too—highly recommended.
Since it’s a rock track, keeping your facial muscles and eyebrows lifted throughout and really resonating your voice will boost your volume and make it feel great to sing.
The idea is to project your voice not to what’s right in front of you, but off into the distance.
That way, your voice won’t catch in your throat and will come out smoothly, letting you feel how effortless it can be.
