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

My WishNEW!AI

AI「my wish」（Official Music Video）

This is a ballad themed around “wishes” and “prayers,” and it serves as the image song for the film Hanamanma, released during Golden Week in 2025.

The overall key isn’t high, so it’s easy for women to sing in the original key.

Around the final chorus, the singing style shifts with a melody-like arrangement, so please practice that part by listening to the song multiple times.

You’ll likely feel very refreshed when you can sing it well! Also, since the tempo is slow, the pauses are very important.

You can breathe sufficiently, so if you place each phrase carefully without rushing, the tempo won’t run.

It feels great to sing when you immerse yourself in the song’s world, so cherish the lyrics as you sing.

JupiterAyaka Hirahara

Jupiter – Ayaka Hirahara (Full)

It was Ayaka Hirahara’s debut single, released in December 2003.

The song itself is “Jupiter” from British composer Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets, with Japanese lyrics added.

So even if you don’t know Hirahara’s version, many of you have probably heard the melody.

Now, this song is indeed difficult for women who can’t produce low notes; it suits singers who are strong in the lower register, but it also goes up into fairly high notes.

Since the original melody wasn’t composed with “singing” in mind, some of the leaps into the high notes feel unnatural from a vocalist’s perspective, and I’d say it takes considerable vocal skill to pull it off.

That said, if you can nail the switches from low to high, and from chest voice to falsetto, you’ll definitely earn the respect of your peers.

If you’re interested in tackling a song at this level, this might be a good time to consider taking voice training lessons.

BEACONNEW!DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE「BEACON」【Official Audio】

For women in their 40s, isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE arguably the most popular musical duo? They have many classic songs, but the one I recommend as an easy pick even for those who aren’t great at singing is BEACON.

This relatively new track was released in July 2025 as the theme song for the TV drama “The Great Pursuit: Metropolitan Police Department SSBC Major Crimes Unit.” The song marks a return to the late-1990s to early-2000s style, featuring a wistful yet nostalgic melody.

In particular, the bass line carries a nostalgic effect that you don’t often hear in contemporary Japanese pop.

As for the vocal line, it has a relatively narrow range for a DREAMS COME TRUE song.

While there are plenty of long sustained notes, the overall pitch movement is gentle.

#Tokyo LIFENEW!Miliyah Kato

#Tokyo LIFE

It’s a slightly cool song with an R&B vibe that’s very Miliyah Kato, and the second verse even has a rap-like section.

The vocal range isn’t very high, so it’s a song you can sing quite smoothly.

As long as you lock into the rhythm, you can make it sound really cool, so be sure to listen carefully to the backing track and keep the rhythm.

If you clap while singing, it’s easier to know where to place the accents.

Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly at the same spots, those parts become the accents, making it easier to stay aware of them.

Overall, you want to keep things relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.

ElectricityNEW!Hikaru Utada

Hikaru Utada “Electricity” Music Video

It’s a track with an authentic electro, dance-beat-infused sound where the rhythm and the groove of the vocals are key.

It might seem difficult when you first listen, but once you get the feel for the rhythm, you’ll be fine.

By the way, it’s easier to catch the groove in this song by counting the off-beats rather than the usual downbeats.

Instead of counting “1, 2, 3, 4,” count “1-and-2-and-3-and-4,” where the “and” is the off-beat.

If you’re not used to it, you might gradually slip out of time, but try to work through that.

Also, the vocal range isn’t that high, so you can sing it lightly without bracing yourself.

At first, it’s fine to sing everything connected and flowing.

Definitely try to catch this groove and enjoy Hikaru Utada’s song!

Message of RougeYumi Matsutoya

Rouge's Message – Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) (Full)

This was Yumi Matsutoya’s fifth single, released in February 1995.

Naturally, at the time it came out, it was released under the name Yumi Arai.

Speaking of Yuming, she’s known for that distinctive slightly lower, fuller voice, so for women with lower voices looking for a karaoke pick, this song—indeed, her songs in general—could be considered a sure bet.

In the original recording, since she was younger, her voice sounds somewhat less full and her distinctive singing style feels a bit more restrained compared to now, which is quite interesting.

Compared to her later songs, there isn’t much of that intense, impassioned “emotional undercurrent” in the vocals, so I think it’s best enjoyed by singing it lightly, almost like humming along.

The Story of the Wind and MeNEW!Ado

The Story of the Wind and Me [Ado]

It’s the theme song for the film “The Silent Service: Great Naval Battle in the Arctic Ocean,” released on September 26, 2025—a very lavish track with lyrics and composition by Hiroji Miyamoto and arrangement by Mafumafu! When I listened to it, I immediately thought, “This is so Miyamoto Hiroji!” With this song, you can enjoy Ado’s lower register and falsetto more than her high notes and shouts, so it’s a great pick for those who want to sing in a calmer style.

You don’t need to focus too much on Ado’s signature powerful delivery; singing naturally and smoothly will still sound beautiful.

Even the high notes in the chorus that are in chest voice seem fine to sing in falsetto.

Whether you’re better at low notes or high notes, you can bring out your strengths, so definitely give it a try and learn it.
