A heartwarming message song that sings the value of those who support others and work hard behind the scenes.

Rather than glamorizing the people who shine on center stage, it brilliantly captures the spirit of those who keep supporting from the shadows.

Its lively sound—melding pop and R&B—stands out alongside a melodic progression.

Written by the three members of Beverly Goodman for broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in December 2024, the song’s powerful energy and warm vocals resonate with everyone facing life head-on.

It’s a track meant for those who worry about going unnoticed at school or work, and for those who keep dedicating themselves to someone else.

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.

A love song woven by Masaharu Fukuyama, a gem of a ballad overflowing with warm affection.

Its gentle melody tenderly embraces the precious feelings you share, harmonizing beautifully with heartwarming lyrics that focus on marriage and family bonds.

It carefully portrays gratitude toward one’s partner and hope for a future walked together, making it a timeless masterpiece that resonates deeply with listeners.

Released in August 2011, the song was featured in the commercial for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zexy and reached No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It has continued to be cherished at many weddings ever since.

This is a song that stays close to the heart—one to listen to when you want to feel the bond with someone special or when you’re about to take a new step in life.

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.

Song of Greensoshina

In addition to his work as a comedian, Soshina is also active as a YouTuber and an artist.

He releases music consistently and has a few hits to his name.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is Midori no Uta (The Green Song).

It’s a punk rock-based track sung entirely in a gravelly voice.

Despite its intensity, it actually has a fairly narrow vocal range, with most of the singing in the low to low-mid register.

It’s an ideal song for showcasing the richness of a man with a low voice.
