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.

Songs by male artists with captivating deep voices. Classic Japanese hits and recommended popular tracks (71–80)
AzaleaYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s hit number “Azalea.” Among Yonezu’s songs, this one features especially many low-register parts, making it a perfect choice for men with lower voices.
However, there is a section toward the end that uses falsetto.
A low voice doesn’t necessarily mean you’re bad at falsetto, but if that part is difficult to sing, it’s recommended to intentionally raise the key to make the falsetto easier to produce.
It’s a big hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
JUST BECAUSETHE JAYWALK
From catchy tunes to moving masterpieces, J-WALK is a band that energized Japan’s music scene with a wide range of styles.
Although the group is no longer active due to a scandal, former vocalist Koichi Nakamura’s deep voice and exceptional singing ability continue to command respect in the Japanese music world.
Among J-WALK’s songs, one I especially recommend is “JUST BECAUSE.” With a vocal line that encapsulates the appeal of a male vocalist, it lets you savor a passionate low register throughout.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Endless JourneyMr.Children
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.

JourneyFuji Kaze
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!
It’s a sad color, isn’t it?Ueda Masaki
Masaki Ueda, a soul singer from Kyoto, is renowned for his raspy vocal tone and powerhouse singing deeply influenced by soul music—qualities that have earned him high praise even among hardcore music aficionados.
When it comes to his signature songs, it has to be “Kanashii Iro Ya Ne.” Set in Osaka, this track portrays the heartbreak of a man and a woman, showcasing the full appeal of his low-register voice.
It’s an achingly poignant song, and one I especially hope younger listeners will discover.
Be sure to check it out.
saturationKobayashi Taro
This is a song by singer-songwriter Taro Kobayashi, released in 2012.
Kobayashi’s vocals aren’t the so-called sweet, low-toned voice; instead, they’re a bit distorted—gritty and weighty—with a very powerful low end.
You could say it’s the kind of voice often heard in singers from alternative bands, but rather than just belting with brute force, he really sings with control at key moments in the track, which shows the depth and versatility of his vocal style.
gazeSUPER BEAVER
This song has a very cool, band-like vibe! Especially the way the chorus builds—doesn’t it feel great to sing? I get the impression that SUPER BEAVER doesn’t have many songs in a high range and generally leans lower, and the vocal range for “Manazashi” is C3–A4, so it should be easy for men with lower voices to sing! SUPER BEAVER is very popular, so it seems tough to get concert tickets… They have a lot of cool songs, so adding them to your karaoke repertoire is sure to get everyone hyped!
