ROLLiri
A digital-only single by iri, released in December 2022.
When you hear iri singing this, some people might momentarily think, “Wait, is this a male singer?” just from the sound of her voice—but of course, iri is a woman! With that in mind, I can confidently recommend this as a karaoke pick for women with lower voices.
The vocal melody is relatively simple, but the key to singing it well is how convincingly you can reproduce the feel of the 16-beat groove.
Take time to study that aspect carefully and give it a try.
The point is to really feel and sing into the off-beats.
Jealousy toward catsAimyon
The song “Jealousy of the Cat” is characterized by its calm melody.
Because the vocals include some percussive elements, a certain sense of rhythm is required, but the overall vocal line is simple.
The challenging parts are the ad-libs in the pre-chorus and the falsetto in the chorus.
Regarding the pre-chorus, the ad-libs are not as intricate as authentic R&B; they’re closer to the level of an enka-style kobushi, so you should be able to master them with repeated practice.
If you find the chorus falsetto difficult, it’s recommended to adjust the key to one where falsetto is easier for you to produce.
BEST POSITIVElecca
Lecca, who was active as a reggae singer in the late 2000s, has a low vocal register that gives her a distinctive richness uncommon among Japanese artists.
Women who were in their late teens or twenties back then and are now in their thirties probably have a few of her songs in their repertoire.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is BEST POSITIVE.
The reggae elements are subtle here, and the album is arranged as easy-to-sing pop throughout.
With its narrow vocal range and mid-tempo pace, it should be effortless for women with lower voices to sing.
Deceptive Lovetuki.
Singer-songwriter tuki.
, whose true identity remains unknown, has amassed tremendous popularity among young women.
Many of you have probably sung one of her songs at least once.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Damashi-ai.
The chorus of this piece—marked by its serious melody—is primarily built around low-mid to mid range vocals.
Because the pitch movement isn’t too drastic, it can be sung in a voice close to natural speech.
heartAimyon
This is Aimyon’s 12th single, released on November 24, 2021.
It was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “Only Just Married” (Kekkon Todoke ni Han o Oshita Dake desu ga).
In the original track, the song opens with a slightly high, mix-voice-like scat, so some lower-voiced women might hesitate to select it for karaoke.
However, Aimyon herself has a very appealing mid-to-low vocal range, so don’t be afraid to give it a try.
Overall, singing with a soft, relaxed delivery—without tensing up—will help it sound great.
Even in the powerful sections, be careful not to get rough; aim for controlled, expressive singing.
Gasolinebewitching goldfish
Bewitching Goldfish is a female R&B duo gaining popularity for authentic R&B.
They embody genuine Black music by blending deep R&B with hip-hop, and their high level of musicianship has earned strong acclaim from hardcore music enthusiasts.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Gasoline.
It has a very narrow vocal range with no drastic pitch jumps in any section.
Instead, it requires a strong sense of groove—something many Japanese singers struggle with—but for those accustomed to singing Black music, it should be a very easy song to perform.

A Good Day to Set Out on a JourneyMomoe Yamaguchi
This was Momoe Yamaguchi’s 24th single, released in November 1978.
The lyrics and music were written by Shinji Tanimura of the band Alice, who was at the height of his popularity at the time.
The song was also used for a Japan National Railways (now JR) travel promotion campaign.
Speaking of Momoe Yamaguchi, she was known for her remarkably composed, richly resonant low voice—a key part of her appeal—and that charm is fully on display in this track as well.
For those of you confident in your lower register like she was, it’s a song you should definitely try singing.
I believe Shinji Tanimura also released a self-cover of the song, so if you’re interested, that would be a good reference too.
