Songs by male artists known for their captivating deep voices. Classic Japanese hits and recommended popular tracks.
These days, male vocalists with high tones are especially popular, and it feels like we hear fewer songs sung with deep, rugged low voices.
Still, that resonant low register that echoes to the core is something many men aspire to, and I suspect plenty of women also find themselves saying, “I get chills from a smoky, masculine singing voice!”
When a male artist known for his striking low notes sings from a woman’s perspective, it can actually highlight feminine allure and sound even more captivating.
This time, we’ve gathered classic tracks by male artists whose irresistibly rich low vocals steal the show.
Go ahead and lose yourself in these stylish, moody low voices.

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.
The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.
If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.
Give them a try, everyone!
heartbeatFukuyama Masaharu
A song by Masaharu Fukuyama included on his 12th original album, AKIRA.
It was released as a digital single ahead of the album.
Speaking of Fukuyama’s low voice, its appeal is well established, and that rich, resonant low register full of overtones is alive and well in this track, too! Although there aren’t many sections sung in a low range overall, the moments when his low voice suddenly slips in exude a masculine allure that makes you want to say, “As expected!” His expressive power is equally impressive in the higher passages sung in falsetto, which, while sounding slightly unpolished, still convey that same sense of sensuality.
You are more beautiful than a rose.Fuse Akira
This is the 42nd single by Japanese singer Akira Fuse, released on January 17, 1979.
It’s a song where you can fully enjoy Fuse’s slightly canzone-style vocal delivery.
While it’s easy to focus on his resonant voice in the opening and the chorus, I encourage you to pay attention to the rich, deep low notes that appear throughout the track as well.
It truly makes you think, “Showa-era singers are incredible!” The melody spans a fairly wide range, and Fuse’s ability to project solidly from top to bottom shows what a truly great singer he is.
Lost ManBUMP OF CHICKEN
This was BUMP OF CHICKEN’s fifth single, released in March 2003.
In this article, I’m introducing Motoo Fujiwara, the band’s vocalist, as a “male singer whose charm lies in his low tones,” but it’s not that his natural speaking voice is particularly low—rather, he’s a singer with a very wide range from the low to the high register.
Although his timbre tends to have lots of higher overtones, he still delivers melodies with very low notes—especially in the A section of this song—beautifully.
Achieving such depth in the low register with this kind of tone quality is quite remarkable.
In a sense, it’s a track that gives you a strangely captivating listening experience.
Assassinralph
Ralph is a rapper who represents Japanese drill music.
He’s still young enough to be called an up-and-comer, but his poise and skill are already formidable, making him a dominant presence in a drill scene full of highly skilled rappers.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Assassin.
It’s packed to the brim with low end, so if you love bass, you might just ascend to heaven.
LOVE (I Want to Hold You)sawada kenji
This was Kenji Sawada’s 25th single, released in September 1978.
For those around their 50s as of 2021, you probably remember how massively popular this song was when it came out.
It’s a slow-tempo, minor-key, wistful ballad, and from the very first verse Julie showcases a deeply resonant low register that seems to seep into you.
In a way, it’s a wonderful model for singing in a lower range.
The melody and arrangement are produced to draw out the full appeal of his voice, and even now, it’s easy to understand why it was such a huge hit at the time.
GraduationKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 31st single, released in March 2020.
Kuroda’s vocals here contain plenty of high-order overtones, so while they may not be the rugged “deep voice” you might imagine from that term, his low register in this song has remarkable depth and persuasiveness.
At the same time, he doesn’t seem to struggle with high notes; the contrast with the sections sung in a clear, soaring high range makes the track even more captivating.
It’s a song where you can savor a vocal performance that beautifully expresses both the bittersweet feeling of parting with classmates and one’s alma mater, and the hope for the future conveyed by the title ‘Sotsugyo’ (Graduation).
