Every Little Thing – – – Love Letter (Live Ver.) (Photo Slideshow)

Is this one a nostalgic oldie too? A moving, quiet song by ELT.

I think it’s a song that goes over really well with men when sung in a cute voice.

Lots of people have probably heard it, and since the lyrics match my age perfectly, it might make you feel a bit bittersweet somewhere in your heart!

Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” Live Music Video

This is a signature song by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, a band widely supported as a classic guitar rock act.

It’s praised for its tricky lyrics and an irresistibly upbeat sound that gets you moving just by listening.

Although it’s sung by a male vocalist, the key is relatively high for a male voice, so I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.

The Goofy Man’s WayKanjani Eight

Kanjani Eight – Zukkoke Otoko Michi ~ Tomo yo / THE FIRST TAKE

It’s a hype song everyone knows.

When someone shouts “Kibatte kōze!” everyone can’t help but respond with “Yeah yeah yeah!”—it’s the unquestionable first track to kick things off.

It’s a song that gets everyone from kids to adults pumped, and since there’s no rap, it’s easy to sing along to.

Blending a retro 1960s vibe with a modern pop flair, the song celebrates the joy of discovering your true self through fashion.

Centered on the theme of meeting a “new you,” it portrays a forward-looking attitude that overcomes setbacks in love and life, offering listeners a sense of courage.

By covering a track by Namie Amuro—an artist MISAMO’s three members have admired since childhood—the piece gains an even more approachable charm.

Included on the album “HAUTE COUTURE,” released in November 2024, it also sparked buzz with its music video.

It’s a recommended track for anyone in the midst of self-discovery or eager to take on something new.

A song that captures the ache of unrequited love and steals Gen Z’s hearts! In this track by YUTORI-SEDAI, a girl’s feelings are portrayed as she struggles to slip into the gaps of the person she likes.

She changes her nails and makeup to catch their attention, but they just won’t turn her way… it’s something everyone’s experienced, right? Released in February 2023, the song became a hot topic on social media.

The music video features popular TikTok influencers, adding even more charm to the song’s world.

Why not listen to this track and take the leap to share your feelings with the person you like?

Beautiful worldAimer

Aimer “Beautiful World” Lyric Video

Aimer is a popular singer-songwriter.

It’s no exaggeration to call her the queen of modern ballads, as she has earned widespread acclaim for her heartrending songs.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Utsukushii Sekai (Beautiful World).

While it doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it features many low to lower-mid parts throughout, making it a piece that allows women with lower voices to fully showcase their appeal.

Since it isn’t the type of song where Aimer showcases her power through vocal prowess, the vocal lines are kept simple with relatively little contour.

It’s an excellent song for both ease of singing and the allure of low tones.

MermaidYuka

YU-KA – Mermaid (Official Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Yuka, who has gained popularity for her refined musical sensibilities inspired by Western music.

She has many catchy songs, but her artistry has really sharpened lately.

Her new track “Mermaid” is a piece I particularly recommend for women with lower voices.

Although it’s sung in mixed voice, it doesn’t require a belted mix, so even women with low voices may find it surprisingly singable.

The range is also narrow, so if mixed voice is challenging for you, try boldly lowering the key.
