This song was written specifically for an ANA commercial.

Its lyrics, which reject society’s prescribed “rightness” and conventional wisdom, are infused with a strong will to spread your own wings and soar freely into the future—like an anthem for taking a bold first step.

Released by King Gnu in August 2019, the track reached No.

3 on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts and is a song that gives a push to anyone facing a challenge.

If you can casually pull off this piece at karaoke—with its distinctive rhythm and interweaving high notes—you’ll definitely earn some serious respect.

Hitsujibungaku is a rock band that brings listeners songs with literary appeal.

Their 2022 release Hikarutoki was chosen as the opening theme for the anime The Heike Story.

The track’s sound superbly expresses the contrast between stillness and motion, revealing a range of shifting emotions.

The lyrics, which portray living on despite hardship, will give you courage.

If you stay mindful of not running out of breath while singing, you can deliver a supple, graceful performance.

Tomonari Sora – “Bergamot” [Lyric Video]

When it comes to popular artists with deep voices, many people probably think of Sora Tomonari first.

Among Tomonari’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Bergamot.

The piece is primarily built around low and lower-mid ranges, with occasional higher phrases.

The pitch movement isn’t particularly drastic, and there’s no need to belt, so even when a slightly higher part appears, you should be able to glide through it smoothly.

Yoen Kingyo – Negotiation [Official Music Video]

With their ultra-unique name, the alluring goldfish is a standout unit formed in 2020 by a dancer and a DJ/artist duo.

Their track “Negotiation” was digitally released in November 2024, and after the music video dropped in April 2025, it’s been drawing renewed attention.

Over a groove that blends the tension and soulful vibe of a ’90s hip-hop-style track, they rap candidly about their values with an ennui-tinged allure, and the catchy, earworm chorus makes it a true banger.

Hip-hop can feel daunting, but in this song their rap leans close to melody, so once you get the hang of it, you should be able to recreate it just fine at karaoke.

Definitely try it as a duo with a friend!

HeavenRei

Rei – “Heaven” (Official Music Video)

Rei is a multi-talented artist who not only shines as a singer-songwriter but also has the chops of a professional guitarist.

While she’s known for her high-sense, sophisticated tracks, some of her songs are quite approachable to sing—like “Heaven.” Despite its stylish melody, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, and the song features frequent rests throughout.

This means you’ll need to be mindful of the groove, but since there aren’t many other tricky parts, scoring a perfect 100 is well within reach.

Especially recommended for those familiar with Black music.

DrunkPamiredo

Pamiredo (パミレド) – Drunk

If you want to make your low register sound alluring with a stylish, sexy track, I recommend “Drunk.” It’s a song by the enigmatic singer-songwriter Pamiredo, featuring an irresistibly sultry melody right from the intro.

The vocal line stays in the low to low-mid range throughout, and even the climactic sections remain quiet and low, which will bring out the best in a man with a deep voice.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

The song “Bunny Girl,” so popular that there’s hardly a day you don’t hear it on TikTok or Instagram, is the signature work of the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI.

It’s characterized by an exceptionally light, catchy rhythm.

Despite how pleasant and bouncy it sounds—which might come as a surprise—the piece actually has a very narrow vocal range.

As long as you set the key appropriately, people of any voice type can sing it.

The vocal line is rhythmic but doesn’t require any complex pitch movement, and there are no long sustained notes, so even those without strong vocal skills can sing it with confidence.
