Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even with a low voice (for women in their 30s)
Compared to a decade or so ago, recent Japanese pop music tends to demand more delicacy.
Perhaps it’s the result of advances in live sound engineering and broader cultural trends, but for people with lower voices, it can be tough—so many songs lean heavily on high notes, including lots of falsetto.
So this time, we’ve selected easy-to-sing karaoke songs for women in their 30s who have lower voices!
We also chose with karaoke crowd-pleasing in mind, so be sure to read to the end and find the tracks that suit you best!
[For women in their 30s] Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even with a low voice (1–10)
Riding on the back of a silver dragonMiyuki Nakajima
Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon.” For women in their 30s, you might remember it as the theme song for the drama Dr.
Cotto.
Although the song is notable for its passionate vocal delivery, its range is surprisingly narrow, so even women with lower voices can sing it without issue.
The vocal line itself is simple, but because the song has fairly dramatic dynamics, be careful not to start off with too much volume.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
I love you more than anyone.Toko Furuuchi
Toko Furuuchi’s classic song “Dare Yori Suki Nanoni” (“Even Though I Love You More Than Anyone”).
For those in their late 30s, this track is likely to be deeply nostalgic.
While it’s categorized as J-pop, it features phrases here and there that are close to Black music—especially the neo-soul genre.
It’s characterized by a calm vocal line, typical of neo-soul, and a relatively narrow range, making it an easy song to sing for women with lower voices.
Queen of KabukichoRingo Sheena
Shiina Ringo’s iconic song “Queen of Kabukicho” stands out for its decadent atmosphere.
It’s a bluesy rock piece characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range throughout.
Most of the singing sits in the mid register, and even the highest parts stay in the lower-high range.
There’s a key change midway that raises the key by one semitone, so set the starting key to feel slightly low for you.
If you want to emulate Shiina Ringo’s style, try finding a key where you can use edge voice.
A slightly higher key makes producing edge voice easier, so give it a try.
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS COME TRUE has produced many masterpieces.
For women in their 30s, they’re an artist that really resonates with their generation.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is SNOW DANCE.
Compared to many DREAMS COME TRUE songs, which tend to have wide vocal ranges, this track falls on the narrower side, and its vocal lines are gently contoured.
Because the dynamics are clearly defined, if you sing with a conscious sense of when to hold back, it will sound professional.
Give it a try for reference.
The strong and fleeting onesCocco
Cocco is a female singer-songwriter who was active from the late 1990s to the 2000s.
She is known for a style that incorporates alternative rock and grunge into J-pop, and she excelled at soft, delicate vocals.
Among Cocco’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Tsuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).
The vocal line has gentle rises and falls, and the range isn’t very wide, so even women in their 30s with lower voices can sing it without any trouble.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Flavor Of LifeHikaru Utada
Having a low voice doesn’t mean you can’t produce falsetto at all.
In fact, many people can manage falsetto just fine; it’s just mixed voice that feels harder.
With that in mind, I recommend Hikaru Utada’s classic “Flavor Of Life.” Among Utada’s songs, this one features some of the deepest low notes.
The A melody, which is very low and brimming with allure, will enhance the charm of women in their 30s with low voices.
The chorus brings in falsetto several times, but it’s not extremely high, nor does it require much volume, so if you can produce a normal falsetto, it shouldn’t pose a challenge.
shameless; indecentNEW!CHANMINA
Chanmina’s Harenchi is sung mostly in a lower register, giving off a mature, sultry vibe.
Just when you think it will end quietly, the last chorus turns emotional and shifts into a slightly higher range.
I think that switch is really important.
There’s also a rap section in the middle, so that part needs practice too.
My students practiced the rap section a lot as well.
When the rap really lands, it feels great to sing and sounds very cool.
For the rap melody, it seems easy to memorize if you first focus on humming or using a neutral syllable like “la” instead of the lyrics.
Try singing without forcing or pushing your voice!
