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

Lowest Community – Saitei Kaiwaituki.

tuki. 'The Worst Community' Official Audio

It’s a song that sticks in your head because the same phrase repeats in the chorus.

The overall range is wide (F3 to C#5), but it’s mostly sung in the mid to low register, so the key is to keep your voice from getting heavy.

If your pitch drops, you’ll tend to sing from your throat, so be careful to avoid that! Before singing, try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows to make a surprised expression—this helps you produce sound easily without straining your throat.

It also makes it easier to stay on pitch overall, so I highly recommend this face! For the low notes, project your voice toward a close distance, and for the high notes in the chorus, aim your voice farther away than yourself—this keeps your vocal cords vibrating consistently, so give it a try! Get everyone hyped during the chorus!

NAOHY

SOLIDEMO / NAO（HY cover）

This is the song “Nao” by HY, a hugely popular band from Okinawa.

It’s included on the album “Confidence.” In this track you can enjoy both vocalist Izumi Nakasone’s powerful low range and her clear, airy falsetto.

It’s a heartbreaking breakup song whose sorrowful vocals really hit you in the chest.

Since it’s a relaxed, slow-paced song, take in more breath than usual and sing it fully! It’s a song that really shines because of its lower vocal range.

A Cruel Angel's Thesis – Yoko Takahashi (Full)

“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis,” known as Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis or just “Zan-te,” is an ever-popular anime song.

Its singable melody and high recognition make it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

The chorus is a bit high, but overall it sits in a lower range and is easy to sing.

It also sounds natural if you lower the key, so it’s perfect for women with lower voices.

Give it a try!

Bud of LoveKumi Koda

Bud of Love

Kumi Koda’s 31st single, released in May 2006.

Kumi Koda is known as a female singer with a relatively husky, robust voice, so she’s one of the best artists for lower-voiced women to choose as karaoke material.

The song “Koi no Tsubomi” doesn’t have a wide vocal range in its melody, so even women who are not good with high notes and have lower voices should be able to sing it without strain.

One point to watch out for is the B-melody, which is sung in falsetto.

I recommend singing this part as close to the original as possible, using falsetto skillfully and gently.

If you can clearly create contrast in your voice within the song, I’m sure you’ll get high marks from those around you!

Kumi Koda – Love Song

This is Kumi Koda’s signature song, “Ai no Uta” (“Love Song”).

It’s a song that portrays the complex feelings of a young woman in love—something any woman in a relationship can relate to.

Her husky voice is incredibly captivating, isn’t it? It makes the song’s world feel more real and bittersweet.

When your heart feels restless with love, sing it at karaoke.

If you sing the verse shyly and the chorus with powerful, heartfelt emotion, you’ll feel refreshed!

HERONamie Amuro

Hero – Namie Amuro (Full)

Released in July 2016 as Namie Amuro’s 45th single, the “Heisei-era songstress” was chosen as the theme song for NHK’s broadcasts of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics.

Although Amuro is semi-deified due to her astonishing sales record, in terms of pure vocal ability she hasn’t exactly reached the realm of a “hardcore vocalist,” so there’s no need to be intimidated when singing this song at karaoke.

The key is how well you can recreate the clever contrast: a somewhat muffled tone in the verses (A and B sections) that sit mostly in the low-to-mid range, switching in the chorus to a bright, open vocal quality.

The chorus isn’t especially high in pitch, so even those not confident with high notes should manage as long as they focus on keeping a bright tone.

Prioritize conveying a sense of openness in the chorus as you sing.

Don't give up on your dreamsTakako Okamura

Don't Give Up on Your Dreams – Takako Okamura (Full)

This is the fifth solo single by Takako Okamura, who debuted as part of the duo Aming, initially released in February 1987.

It’s one of Okamura’s signature songs, used as a theme for various TV programs and commercials, and in 2005 a remastered version was featured as the theme song for the film ‘Gyakkyo Nine.

’ Although Okamura herself has said she wrote it as “just a heartbreak song,” it seems to be widely recognized by the public as a motivational anthem.

Now, if you’re going to sing this song at karaoke, there aren’t any extremely high notes or tricky leaps, so even those who struggle with high pitches shouldn’t find it too difficult.

In performing it, you might want to keep in mind Okamura’s own view that “this is not a cheer song but a breakup song.” Instead of trying to cheer someone on, try singing it as a way to express your own bittersweet feelings.

Also, be careful to avoid letting the overall delivery become too flat.
