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

shameless; indecentNEW!CHANMINA

CHANMINA – Lewd (Official Music Video) –

Chanmina’s Harenchi is sung mostly in a lower register, giving off a mature, sultry vibe.

Just when you think it will end quietly, the last chorus turns emotional and shifts into a slightly higher range.

I think that switch is really important.

There’s also a rap section in the middle, so that part needs practice too.

My students practiced the rap section a lot as well.

When the rap really lands, it feels great to sing and sounds very cool.

For the rap melody, it seems easy to memorize if you first focus on humming or using a neutral syllable like “la” instead of the lyrics.

Try singing without forcing or pushing your voice!

Your voice when I sleepANNA

Anna 'Your Voice When I Sleep' MUSIC VIDEO

Emerging in the late 2010s and now solidifying her place with vocals that are both catchy and cool, singer-songwriter Anna has become a standout.

Many of you have probably heard her songs on TikTok and elsewhere.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is ‘Your Voice When I Sleep.

’ While the melody has a touch of strength, the overall range isn’t very wide, with most of it sitting in the mid register.

By singing it with a thicker, richer tone than the original, low-voiced female singers can make the most of their strengths.

Time goes byEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing / Time goes by（from「ELT 15th Anniversary Concert Tour “ORDINARY”」）

It’s Every Little Thing’s 8th single, released in February 1998.

It’s true that the song doesn’t demand extremely high notes in terms of range, but if you sing with a heavy, low-emphasized tone, you might undermine the song’s atmosphere.

So even for low-voiced women, try to focus on a brighter, higher overtone and aim for a cute, gentle delivery.

The melody itself isn’t very difficult, so if possible, memorize the lyrics and sing in a way that fully conveys the song’s world.

SoupSakura Fujiwara

Sakura Fujiwara – “Soup” (short ver.)

Sakura Fujiwara’s debut single, released in June 2016.

It was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Love Song,” with lyrics and music by Masaharu Fukuyama! I can confidently recommend this as a song that even women who struggle with high notes can sing with ease.

The vocal range used is so narrow that it makes you wonder if Fukuyama composed it with the idea of singing it himself—so you’ll likely be fine.

That said, you might need to polish your singing technique a bit to capture the slightly languid vibe of the song.

youHikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada “Anata” (Short Version)

Utada Hikaru released her eighth single as a digital-only track in December 2007.

It’s true that the song doesn’t demand ultra-high notes, and if you look only at range and timbre, it might seem well-suited for female singers with lower voices.

However, as you’d expect from a Utada track—given her reputation for vocal prowess—pulling it off is quite challenging.

Key points include whether you can execute the trills—those continuous pitch variations—cleanly, and avoiding too much chest voice overall; sung that way, it likely won’t resonate beautifully.

You’ll need to skillfully use mixed voice in the mid-to-high range.

Using mixed (middle) voice well can be difficult without vocal training or lessons, but for now, try to focus on singing as gently and softly as possible.

I love youNEW!Wednesday Campanella

Wednesday Campanella “Wo Ai Ni”

This is the second opening theme for the TV anime Ranma 1/2.

Because the lyrics prioritize catchy wordplay, including mahjong terms, you’ll need to learn the rhythm and wording, but once you lock into the groove it’s very easy to sing! The key itself isn’t high, so it’s recommended for people who like rap-style songs or aren’t comfortable with big, belted melodies.

When singing, focus on listening to the bouncy backbeat—you’ll find your body naturally moving with it.

The combination of Shihou from Wednesday Campanella on vocals and a Chinese-inspired vibe is a perfect match, so be sure to enjoy the music video as well!

Unfit to be a loverKoresawa

Koresawa “Unqualified as a Lover” [Music Video]

This is the 4th single by the female artist Koresawa, released digitally in June 2020.

While Koresawa herself isn’t necessarily known for having a low voice, this song has many sections that are sung in a murmuring, hushed way, which I think suits women with naturally lower speaking voices.

The highest notes in the chorus aren’t that high either, so many people who struggle with high tones should still be able to sing this one.

Aim to produce as bright a tone as possible on the high parts, and it should sound nice.

A key tip is to place the voice as if you’re resonating it against your upper palate.

Give it a try and do your best!
