Male artist (41–50)
cherry blossomKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in November 2005.
It’s a very beautiful ballad, and it’s also one of those songs that takes on a new charm when sung by a female vocalist.
I’ve included Anri Kumaki’s cover version in Video 2, so please use it as a reference.
While Kumaki’s version presents a fully realized image of the song as a “female vocal piece,” there’s no need to be bound by that—feel free to express your own version of “Sakura” in your own way!
Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s popular song “Sharin no Uta” (“Song of the Wheels”).
Women who have tried to sing BUMP songs—have you ever given up thinking, “The verse is way too low…”? Some of their tracks are in keys that are tough even for women with lower voices.
But this song’s verse isn’t that low, and the chorus sits at a height that feels great for female vocals.
Give it a try!
budKobukuro
Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is such a great song that I’d love for you to sing it, whether solo or as a duo.
Since Kobukuro is a duo, the range is fairly wide at A#2–A#4, which might make it easier for low-voiced women to sing.
For the record, when I performed this song I had a male partner, and I left all the melody lines to him while I stuck to the harmonies! The harmonies in this song are beautiful, so if you have a partner, definitely try them out.
Overall, aim for a calm, composed delivery without straining.
cherry blossomNaotaro Moriyama
This was Naotaro Moriyama’s second single, released in March 2003.
Although it’s a male-vocal song, Moriyama himself has a very androgynous voice, so it might actually feel more natural when sung by a woman.
In terms of melodic range, it’s high for a typical male key but on the low side for most women—making it one of the best choices for lower-voiced female singers.
Many of my female vocal training students choose this song, too.
The lyrics also sound completely natural when sung by a woman, so give it a try.
Gray and BlueKenshi Yonezu + Masaki Suda
A track released on various music streaming services starting October 11, 2017, as an advance release from Kenshi Yonezu’s fourth album, BOOTLEG.
It was produced with actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.
Incidentally, the same song is also included on Masaki Suda’s first album.
Judging by the credits alone, you might briefly think it’s a “duet,” but it doesn’t really feel like one; it’s a song that can be fully performed as a solo.
If a woman with a boyish voice sings it, the track comes across as calmer and quite lovely.
I think it would be a great choice for women with lower voices!
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s seventh digital-only single, released in April 2023.
It was written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Sunday Night Is About Enough…”.
Motoki Omori’s vocals—masterfully shifting among chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto—make it a track that captivates listeners.
His voice carries a thread of hope that encourages those who hear it.
As a phrase meaning “whatever will be, will be,” “Que Sera Sera” conveys the importance of self-acceptance.
Especially when struggling with worries or self-loathing, listening to this song may help you realize that only you can truly protect yourself.
When singing it at karaoke, try to recreate the song’s message and worldview.
It’s also an ideal piece for learning how to switch between different vocal techniques in expressive singing, so be sure to give it a try.
I love youback number
This is back number’s sixth digital single, released in October 2022.
It was chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Maiagare!” It’s a slow ballad where vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s deep singing voice resonates and permeates the listener.
I’d especially love to hear women with lower voices try to recreate that sense of “depth” at karaoke.
If you sing it using a well-supported chest voice that resonates in the thoracic cavity, I’m sure it will sound great—give it a try.
