Karaoke songs that are easy to sing even with a low voice (for women in their 30s)

BALLADAyumi Hamasaki

Ayumi Hamasaki / BALLAD

For women in their 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki is the quintessential artist of their generation.

However, if you have a lower voice, you might feel her songs are challenging because of their wide vocal range.

That’s why I recommend “BALLAD.” As the title suggests, it’s a classic ballad, but unusually for an Ayumi Hamasaki song, it’s sung within a relatively narrow range.

The tempo is also slow, giving you plenty of time to prepare for the next entrance.

It’s sure to get a great response when you sing it in front of people from the same generation, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Song of LoveNEW!Kumi Koda

Kumi Koda – Ai no Uta

Kumi Koda’s classic song “Ai no Uta.” Since it was released in 2007, some people might not know it, but many have likely heard it through TV dramas and the like.

The piece is crafted as an emotionally rich ballad.

While it calls for a bit of expressiveness, its vocal range is narrow—mid1 G# to hi C—and the melodic rises and falls are gentle.

If you track the pitch carefully, it’s a song with which you can definitely aim for a high karaoke score.

MermaidYuka

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her unique musicality influenced by Western music.

She’s an artist with a slightly lower voice, and her mellow, gentle singing style is particularly striking.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Mermaid.

While it’s built on a slow-jam foundation, it doesn’t feature a challenging R&B-style vocal line with frequent ad-libs; instead, the vocal line maintains a relatively even contour throughout.

The chorus does incorporate mixed voice, but since it’s a non-belting mixed voice, even women in their 30s with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

Love & PopHaze

Haze / Love & Pop / Official Music Video

If you’re looking for an easy-to-sing song from recent releases, we recommend Love & Pop.

This track is by Haze, a girls’ band that’s been rapidly gaining momentum lately.

The vocalist, Kati, has a singing style and tone very similar to AiNA THE END, delivering a breathy, raspy vocal performance here as well.

Although the main technique is the hiccup style—where the voice flips, which may make it seem high—the actual range is narrow, and there are no high-register phrases.

That makes it a very singable choice for women in their 30s with lower voices.

LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE

Loneliness

This song is included on the 5th album “ANTENNA,” released on July 4, 2023, and it conveys Ms.

Omori’s strength and gentleness.

The overall vocal range is C3–D5, but there aren’t many high notes in the song; it mostly sits around G3, so I think it’s a piece you can sing almost entirely in chest voice.

That said, there are spots where falsetto appears—switch lightly into head voice, aiming for a gentle head resonance.

The chorus is where the emotion really surges and you can feel the power.

Keep a solid sense of rhythm and hit the first note cleanly.

Also, when the melody changes, be mindful of pitch.

If your singing style shifts drastically, you may tense up or strain your throat, so keep your facial muscles lifted to prevent the pitch from dropping.

Try to maintain the sensation of resonance around the glabella (between the eyebrows) throughout.

STARSMika Nakashima

Mika Nakashima 'STARS' MUSIC VIDEO Shorts ver.

Mika Nakashima is a female singer who has left many masterpieces with her distinctive vocal technique and catchy J-pop.

Because she’s an artist with many high-pitched phrases, you might be inclined to avoid her songs if you’re aiming for a high score.

Even so, there are surely people who still want to go for a high score with her tracks.

In that case, we recommend STARS.

It’s a mature-sounding ballad with a very high frequency of long tones, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and the pitch movement isn’t overly dramatic.

If you can hold steady long notes without wavering, you should be able to sing it without issue.

You can also take advantage of the abundance of long tones to rack up extra points with vibrato.

Never endsUru

[Official] Uru “Never ends” Theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigations Unit”

“Never ends,” the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigation Unit,” will be familiar to those watching the show.

The verse to pre-chorus range is set on the lower side, so try singing gently and carefully from the start without belting.

The high notes in the chorus go up to around D#5, but avoid forcing it—aim to deliver them cleanly in head voice like Uru.

There’s also a low note around C3 in the bridge, which may be low for many women, though lower-voiced female singers might find it manageable.

Sing gently without straining your throat.
