Sakura Fujiwara – Spring Song (Lyric Video) – 360 Reality Audio

Sakura Fujiwara is a female singer-songwriter popular for her country-inspired musical style.

Active since the 2010s, she has produced several hit numbers.

Among her songs, the one especially recommended for women with lower voices is Haru no Uta (Spring Song).

It’s frequently used on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, so many people may find it familiar.

The chorus has a calm feel, and the verses through the pre-chorus sit mostly in the low to low-mid range, making it very easy to sing for women with lower voices.

I'll be by your side.Thelma Aoyama ft. SoulJa

Thelma Aoyama feat. Soulja – I’m by Your Side (TOUR “DIARY” Live Ver.)

Thelma Aoyama’s second single, released in January 2008.

According to some reports, SoulJa and Thelma met through a mutual friend; at a karaoke box, SoulJa was impressed by Thelma’s singing, leading to the creation of “Koko ni Iru yo.” As thanks for Thelma’s participation, SoulJa then took part in “Soba ni Iru ne,” but the full story has not been publicly confirmed.

This song doesn’t require any extreme high notes, so it’s ideal for women with lower—or rather, strong lower-mid—ranges to sing at karaoke.

However, because the usable range isn’t very wide, if you just trace the melody casually, there’s a risk the performance will sound very flat and dull.

The tempo is slow, but try to feel the 16th-note pulse and sing with as much groove as possible.

That said, don’t lose the song’s inherent soothing, moist quality—maintain the groove while keeping your delivery gentle and soft.

Thread – Miyuki Nakajima (Full)

Released in 1998 as Miyuki Nakajima’s 35th single, in a double A-side format with “Inochi no Betsumei.” Nakajima’s own voice has a very appealing quality in the lower to mid range, so this is an ideal song for people who feel confident in their low notes but struggle a bit with the highs when singing karaoke.

Although the song came out in 1998, it’s a classic Nakajima composition—by then she was already a veteran—and its melody carries the lineage of Showa-era folk, making it very easy to remember and sing.

You’ll rarely have trouble with vocal range or pitch in this song.

If possible, memorize the lyrics and sing expressively while understanding their meaning.

In the latter half of the chorus, just before the final closing phrase, be careful not to let the high note pop out and stand out awkwardly; aim for a soft, gentle delivery.

doll

Hitsujibungaku is an alternative rock band notable for its Western-influenced musical style.

Among bands of this type, they stand out for their especially wide stylistic range, consistently delighting listeners with songs that showcase different charms each time.

Their track “doll” is crafted with a post-punk flavor, achieving a tempo that’s upbeat yet retains a chill vibe.

The vocal line is grounded mainly in the low–mid to mid range throughout, making it very easy to sing in terms of vocal range.

As for the falsetto in the chorus, it’s a pitch you can definitely hit in chest voice as well, so try not to imitate the original too closely and sing it in your own way.

Marunouchi Sadistic

It’s a stylish, quirky sound with jazz and blues elements, isn’t it? In fact, one of my students who had a limited range and couldn’t hit very high notes practiced this song many times in vocal training.

The overall range isn’t wide and it’s sung mainly in the mid register, but there are a few higher spots in the chorus.

As long as you catch the rhythm and nail the timing there, you’ll be able to sing them smoothly! Since the song is all about rhythm, it’s important to mark the beats clearly—even a bit exaggerated.

If you move with the groove while singing, it helps you relax and keeps you from pushing your voice, so I really want you to lean into the cool vibe.

Also, you’ll probably notice this once you’re in the groove, but be sure to cut off the notes cleanly where needed and give space its due as you sing.

HY “366 Days” MV (MBS “+music” ver.)

A track from HY’s fifth album “HeartY,” it was also used as the theme song for the drama “Akai Ito.” Now then, while this song generally gives the impression of being built around a melody that emphasizes the low to mid range, there are many parts that demand strong high-register vocals—such as the soft falsetto at the end of the B section and the wide-range phrases in the D section—so women who struggle with high notes should take some care when singing it.

It might be a good idea to lower the key a bit so the low notes don’t become uncomfortable.

For the high parts in the final chorus, try not to rely on falsetto as much as possible; aim to deliver them solidly in chest voice like HY themselves!

Never Grow UpNEW!CHANMINA

Chanmina – Never Grow Up (Official Music Video)

Female rapper Chanmina, who enjoys overwhelming support from women in their teens and twenties.

Released in 2019, this track gained popularity with its tropical house-inspired sound and downbeat, whisper-like vocals.

The song’s range is mid2A to hiD#, which is high but relatively narrow overall.

Since the key can be lowered sufficiently, it’s one of the more singable songs among Chanmina’s works.

Because of the nature of rap, there tend to be fewer breakpoints, so it’s recommended to adjust your vocal output to align with the sections where you can take proper breaths.
