Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.

In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.

That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.

The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.

Vaundy is one of the most active singer-songwriters right now.

He has produced many hit songs, and recently he’s delivered another major hit: “Hashire SAKAMOTO.” It’s the theme song for the anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, with a strong rock flavor throughout.

The overall vocal range is narrow, and there aren’t parts that alternate between falsetto and chest voice, so even men with lower voices should be able to sing it without any problem.

Once more[ re: ]

A heartwarming song born from the desire to connect people’s hearts through the power of music and deliver a light of hope.

Centered around Taka from ONE OK ROCK and Shota Shimizu, artists of the same generation—including Mao Abe, Ayaka, Aimer, KENTA from WANIMA, Nissy, and Daichi Miura—came together to create it.

Even amid the anxiety of everyday life feeling like it might fall apart, the song carries a message to keep looking forward and moving on.

The music video, edited from footage each artist filmed at home, surpassed 10 million views in just half a month after its release in June 2020.

Singing about the longing for bonds with loved ones and hope for the future, this piece is perfect for delivering a tender performance at karaoke.

It’s a song that lets you share your feelings with those around you and warms the heart.

DRESSING ROOMnatori

Natori is a male singer who has gained popularity for his downer-style singing.

Although his voice still retains a youthful quality, his standout feature is his low-register vocals.

This track, “DRESSING ROOM,” is a piece that makes full use of Natori’s deep tones.

Because the song as a whole stays within a narrow and low vocal range, even teenage boys whose voices may be unstable due to voice changes can sing it without issue.

It’s a stylish song that’s well-received by women, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Knock Knockpirafu seijin

One of the most talked-about rappers in the current MC battle scene is Pilaf Seijin.

He has a lot of haters, but just as many fans, and his streaming numbers are exceptional for a rapper.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Knock Knock.

While it’s not a particularly low-range piece, the vocal line is simple, so even men with lower voices can sing it comfortably.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

You can feel the joy of pouring feelings of love into a song through Kohei Matsushita’s clear, transparent voice.

Anyone can see their own experiences reflected in the protagonist, who musters the courage to tell their lover “I love you.” The gentle melody and acoustic guitar tones feel like a warm conversation between two people in love.

Released in November 2024, this piece was written and composed by Takahito Uchisawa of androp.

While honoring the R&B roots of Matsushita, it takes shape as a simple, heartfelt love song.

It’s a track that beautifully balances the importance of expressing your feelings to someone dear and the wish to walk into the future together.

AzaleaYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s hit number “Azalea.” Among Yonezu’s songs, this one features especially many low-register parts, making it a perfect choice for men with lower voices.

However, there is a section toward the end that uses falsetto.

A low voice doesn’t necessarily mean you’re bad at falsetto, but if that part is difficult to sing, it’s recommended to intentionally raise the key to make the falsetto easier to produce.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

In conclusion

How was it? This time, we introduced songs by male artists that we recommend for Gen Z.

Many of them are in a higher key overall, so they’re great not only for men but also for women.

These are all songs that most people have probably heard at least once, so be sure to check them out!
