Lights Off (feat.

natori) is a collaboration between music producer TAKU INOUE, known for his sophisticated compositions, and singer-songwriter natori, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.

Speaking of natori, his distinctive low voice with a hint of youthfulness leaves a strong impression.

That vocal quality is fully utilized in this track as well, with most of the song built around the mid-to-low register.

There are occasional higher phrases that appear as accents, sharpening the contrast with the lower tones and further enhancing the appeal of a low male voice.

“Run, SAKAMOTO,” which is drawing attention as the theme song for the popular anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, is a new track by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Vaundy, featuring a strong rock flavor.

Despite its intense sound, the overall vocal range isn’t particularly high.

There is a key change to watch out for, but there aren’t any sections with drastic pitch jumps that alternate repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

As a contemporary hit, it’s relatively easy to sing.

Kocchinoken to, the singer-songwriter who gained nationwide popularity with “Hai Yorokonde,” released “Mou Ii yo” as the follow-up.

Like its predecessor, it features a groovy melody.

There are moments of falsetto, but the overall vocal range is on the narrower side and it doesn’t demand complex pitch movements, making it quite easy to sing.

With frequent changes between sections that keep it from dragging, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke!

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.

10-FEET – Re-Equation (Theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Fermat’s Cooking”)

This is the 23rd single by the Japanese three-piece band 10-FEET, released in October 2023.

It was selected as the theme song for the drama “Fermat no Ryori” (Fermat’s Cooking).

I found the relatively broad-groove vocal track riding over the up-tempo backing track to be very comfortable and striking.

The vocal melody doesn’t use a particularly wide range, so I think it should be easy to sing for most men.

However, the most important point when singing this song is, above all, how well you can recreate the original song’s large, flowing groove of the phrases, and how skillfully—and fully—you can use the rests between phrases.

Be sure to listen carefully to the original and study how it uses “space in the vocals” before you try singing it.

The song “Strawberry Margarita,” included on the sixth album The End of Yesterday—their first album in roughly 16 years counting from before their hiatus—kicks off with a tension-raising intro that features a gritty yet textured guitar sound.

While the all-English lyrics and brisk tempo characteristic of ELLEGARDEN can make it feel challenging, the melody itself has a narrow range and modest dynamics, making it relatively easy to tackle at karaoke.

It’s a refreshing, high-energy tune whose wistful melody feels good to sing.

Sharam Q is a four-piece rock band that gained popularity for a musical style that shifts its tone from comical to serious depending on the song.

Their sixth single, “Single Bed,” which was used as the ending theme for the TV anime D·N·A²: A Girl Who Was Conned Somewhere in Time, garnered renewed attention when a self-cover version was released in 2013.

Its chorus features an emotive melody that makes effective use of chromatic notes, making it especially satisfying to sing at karaoke.

It’s a classic ballad that many listeners will likely relate to for its sentimental lyrics.
