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.

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.

Fujii Kaze – Tabiji (Official Video)

Fujii Kaze’s “Tabiji” is also a song one of my students practiced, and it’s a great recommendation for low-voiced male singers.

The overall range is B2–G#4, with a structure where the A section sits quite low and the range gradually rises toward the chorus.

If the chorus feels high, try imitating Fujii Kaze’s gentle singing style from the start—using a breathy tone can make it relatively easier to sing.

It’s a straightforward song for practice, so try singing it with the sense of gradually building momentum!

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.

Inheritance of SinGACKT

Inheritance of SinGACKT

This is GACKT’s 48th single, released in March 2017.

It was used as the ending theme for the UHF anime block, Anime no Me, “TRICKSTER: From Edogawa Rampo’s ‘The Boy Detectives Club.’” There’s no need for me to explain GACKT’s deep, rugged, and commanding low voice—you’re all well aware of it.

In this song too, his captivating low vocals are showcased to the fullest.

The luxurious backing sound design further enhances his performance.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Heartbeat (Special Movie)

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.

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.

This is Mr.Children’s 15th single, released in October 1998.

Mr.Children’s vocalist, Mr.

Sakurai, is a singer who showcases a very compelling low register.

While this likely owes a lot to his natural vocal timbre, his convincing low-range singing is truly excellent.

It’s a track where you can fully appreciate that appeal, especially in the A-melody sections centered on the lower range.

The contrast with the powerful, high-tone chorus further accentuates his charm.
