A must-see for low-voiced women! Popular songs that are easy to sing at karaoke

I'll be by your side.Uru

[Official] Uru 'I'll Be By Your Side'

This is the second digital-download-only single by female singer-songwriter Uru, released in November 2022.

It was reportedly created as the theme song for the ABEMA original dating show series We Got Married 4.

Uru, who performs this song, has a voice rich in wonderfully appealing low tones, making it one of the best choices for low-voiced women to sing at karaoke.

In particular, the vocal melody in this track doesn’t cover a very wide range, so I highly recommend it even for those who have low voices and struggle with high notes.

That said, to sing it like Uru herself requires a correspondingly high level of expressive vocal technique, so it might be a slightly advanced selection.

Still, try the challenge—just be careful to keep your tone from becoming rough throughout the song.

eternityZARD

eternity

This is ZARD’s 22nd single, released in August 1997.

It was also the theme song for the drama “Shitsurakuen” (Lost Paradise).

Not just this song, but ZARD’s tracks in general are ideal for women who struggle with high notes or wide vocal ranges when singing karaoke.

1997 was a time when J-pop was racking up million-seller hits, and getting people to sing your song at karaoke was a major factor in achieving a hit.

ZARD’s songs were created with that in mind, so they’re all easy to remember and easy to sing.

Although Izumi Sakai’s voice doesn’t have a particularly wide range, it has a distinctive charm in its high overtones, which can make perfectly recreating the original vibe a bit challenging.

Still, the songs themselves are very singable, so try expressing the world of the music in a way that fits your own image.

milet “Anytime Anywhere” MUSIC VIDEO (TV anime “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” ending theme)

This is a digital-only single by milet, released in September 2023.

It was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV anime series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” The song features a very dramatic arrangement at a medium-to-slow tempo.

In particular, the rich lower-register vocals heard in sections like the first verse make it a great choice for women with lower voices to try and recreate at karaoke.

The mixed voice to falsetto singing used in the chorus is also something to aim to reproduce; however, if you’re not confident, please lower the key at karaoke to suit your range.

Flower of loveAimyon

ai no hana

This is Aimyon’s 14th single, released in June 2023.

The song features a laid-back, medium-tempo feel that really highlights Aimyon’s slightly husky vocals.

For a female vocal piece, it uses relatively low notes, especially in the A-melody sections, so it could be a great fit for lower-voiced women to fully showcase their vocal charm.

Be careful in the low register: if the sound vibrates directly in the throat, the resonance won’t be beautiful, so practice to sing solidly with chest voice.

There are also many sections in the chorus and elsewhere that require mixed voice to falsetto, so it might be a slightly advanced choice—but it’s definitely a song I’d encourage lower-voiced women to take on.

love and joyMiliyah Kato × Ringo Sheena

Miliyah Kato × Ringo Sheena “Airaku (Love and Pleasure)”

Miliyah Kato, a female singer-songwriter who was hugely active in the Heisei era.

Lately she’s been working energetically again and collaborating with many famous artists.

The recommendation I’d like to make is this track, Aigaku.

It’s a collaboration with Ringo Sheena, and elements of R&B and jazz appear throughout the piece.

While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it’s not a track that keeps you in high parts the whole time.

In fact, most of the most appealing sections sit in the midrange, making it a very easy song to sing for women with lower voices.

iri – friends (Music Video)

It’s a single by singer-songwriter iri that was released digitally in October 2022.

It’s also been used as a tie-in song for the Mercedes-AMG SL.

iri has a very masculine, deep voice, so this alone might make her and this song a top choice for women with low voices to pick at karaoke.

However, the track does include a rap section, and it’s undeniable that you need a fairly strong sense of beat and rhythm to sing it well.

Listen closely to both the vocal and rap parts, study the phrase breaks and rests, and then try singing while paying close attention to the drums and bass in the backing track.

Mariya Takeuchi – Let Me Give You a Song (Official Music Video)

Mariya Takeuchi’s new song “Uta wo Okurou” (“Let Me Send You a Song”).

Thanks to the global boom in city pop, she’s now drawing attention from younger generations as well.

Even today, without changing the musical style she’s had since back then, she continues to release wonderful tracks that highlight her unique character.

Among her songs, this one is marked by a particularly gentle melody.

Since it doesn’t include any difficult high notes, it’s perfect for showcasing lower tones in a calm atmosphere.
