Minimumsieg, a band funded by Niigata Prefecture.
They’ve been expanding their activities at local live houses and have recently been gaining nationwide recognition.
Among Minimumsieg’s songs, the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Hitsuji (Sheep).
Although the overall sound is fairly bustling, the vocal line has gentle rises and falls, making it easier to sing than it sounds at first.
There are no high-register parts at all, so it’s a good choice for men who struggle with high notes.
