Most of my favorite Japanese female singers don't have overly high voices. Here are a few suggestions, but I can't guess as to karaoke availability.
"Fly High" by Tsuji Ayano
http://youtube.com/watch?v=q6hmFCfjG5A
Most of Tsuji Ayano's songs fit. She plays the ukelele. So random.  She's done a couple of anime/film themes, so I guess she's not too obscure.
"Jupiter" by Hirahara Ayaka
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dRntPK0YFlU
(I guess it ranges from low to high, but it can be sung in a lower key and sounds fine...and man, Youtube comments make the stupidest forum threads here look like fine art.)
"Nada sou sou" by Natsukawa Rimi
http://youtube.com/watch?v=auzgIT8-wk8
(Shoot, higher than I thought...but at least it's not too fast ;p)
"Love Addict" by Nakashima Mika
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yxf76lEsJdo
Most of my music is on another computer, so I can't think of much offhand...[/url]

For a guy...
DJ Ozuma, BOUNCE ME! Oh, it is so crass, but it's easy, repetitive, and is sprinkled liberally with English words.
I'm totally addicted to The Pillows - me and my buddies sing Hybrid Rainbow in the car, it's so cool.
For a gal...
If you like enka, Ishikawa Sayuri's music is slow and not too high. I sing Amagi Goe and I'm working on my debut of Osaka Tsubame.
For a challenge, I sing Whiteberry's version of Natsu Matsuri (fast, a bit high, but very cool lyrics!) and Utada Hikaru's Automatic. |

My favorite Japanese song is Makenai de by Zard. I have a friend who does a good version of Haruta kanata by Asian Kung Fu Generation which he's signed up to sing in a city karaoke contest in a few weeks time. Apparently the judges are from Japanese Pop Idol or something equivalent. The only problem is he can't do it unless he's drunk so he's going to have to hit the sake for breakfast. Not sure I could stomach that.
Otherwise for me, its English songs all the way. Tonight Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins and anything by Oasis are my standards. |
