Female artists (41–50)
ChaO!NEW!Kumi Koda
ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.
Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.
At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!
Women artists (51–60)
moonlightChihiro Onitsuka
This was Chihiro Onitsuka’s second single, released in August 2000.
It also became a big hit as the theme song for the drama “Trick.” Originally, there were no plans to release it as a single, but the drama’s huge success led to a sudden decision to put it out.
Onitsuka’s songs are characterized by her very gentle, composed vocal tone, making this an ideal choice for women with similarly lower voice types.
That said, it may be quite difficult for most people to replicate this level of vocal skill in karaoke.
There are plenty of high-tone sections, and she adroitly switches between chest voice in her natural register and a soft, tender falsetto.
Precisely because of that, it’s a song worth challenging yourself with—so give it a try!
holly (Japanese holly tree, Ilex crenata)Do As Infinity
This is Hiiragi by Do As Infinity, a male-female duo that disbanded in 2005.
They reunited in 2009.
Do As Infinity is known for their strong vocals and has many fans.
This song uses the winter flower, the holly (hiiragi), as a metaphor for feelings of loneliness and pain, expressing those emotions earnestly.
The melody stays within a narrow range at the beginning, so even people who aren’t confident at karaoke may find it easy to sing.
Stars on EarthMiyuki Nakajima
When people hear this song, many probably remember the NHK program Project X, right? That’s how widely known and strongly evocative this piece is: Miyuki Nakajima’s “Chijō no Hoshi” (Stars Over the Land).
This song is a good example, but many of her works feel like something rising from deep within the heart—feelings that turn into words and ride on the melody.
If you sing with that image in mind, you’ll sing it well!
GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
With lyrics by Ai Yazawa, the original author of NANA, and composition/production by HYDE, it was a smash hit created by an all-star team! The song itself isn’t too high, so it’s in a range that many women can sing comfortably—so I imagine a lot of people choose it.
However, the highest note E5 appears at the end of the second chorus.
That’s where you’ll want to nail it with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to be nasal and are harder to produce than other sounds.
So try projecting your voice a bit stronger than you think! Make sure to place the accents firmly to match the timing there.
If the key feels difficult, it’s fine to use falsetto at first.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger falsetto; brace your lower abdomen and add those accents!
ORIONMika Nakashima
ORION is Mika Nakashima’s winter hit ballad.
I think you can sing most of it in chest voice if you get through part of the chorus in falsetto.
Since it was the theme song of a drama, it’s very well-known, so it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke!
snakeYorushika
Yorushika’s latest song, “Hebi” (“Snake”).
Since releasing “Aporia,” Yorushika has continued putting out lower-key tracks, and this new song is also arranged within a narrow range that’s easy for anyone to sing.
This work doesn’t feature the extremely low phrases that are characteristic of Yorushika.
Rather than being a “low” song, it feels more like a piece with a limited vocal range, and in keeping with that, the vocal line is crafted to be gently shaped with minimal rises and falls.
Because the instrumentation is somewhat subdued, be mindful of fade-outs and breathing when singing so the vocals don’t stick out awkwardly.
