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.

Songs by male artists known for their captivating deep voices. Classic Japanese hits and recommended popular tracks (11–20)
Nothing I do goes well.meiyo
A debut work by meiyo, whose rich, deep voice resonates with the heart.
It’s more than just a song that caught fire on social media—it’s a masterpiece that brilliantly captures the feelings of today’s youth.
With a sharp eye, it portrays the true emotions of modern people who put on a brave face while being tormented by inferiority, and their struggle with self-loathing.
When you want to reassess how easily you’re swayed by others’ opinions, or when you hope to soothe those grappling with similar worries, its subtly nostalgic sound will gently stay by your side.
countrysideTamaki Kōji
This is the 11th single by Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai, released in 1992.
An Anzen Chitai version was later released in 2011.
When you think of Anzen Chitai or Koji Tamaki, many people probably imagine stylish songs that make the most of his slightly husky voice.
In this song, however, he sings very briskly, pairing an up-tempo major key with lyrics that feel a bit reckless.
Even with that light, energetic arrangement, Tamaki’s vocals exude a seasoned presence—drawing on his naturally convincing mid-to-low range to deliver a voice that feels gentle yet powerful.
VertigoMAN WITH A MISSION
If you want to make the most of a low voice and sing something with a loud, gritty sound, I recommend Vertigo.
It’s a track by MAN WITH A MISSION, built around intense guitar riffs and scratching throughout, giving it a raw, aggressive feel.
In contrast to the rough instrumentation, the vocal line has a narrow range and few sustained notes, making it especially easy to sing for men with a husky low voice.
March 9Remioromen
This is Remioromen’s second single, released in March 2004.
It’s a slow ballad that starts with slightly laid-back, low-register vocals, but if you try singing it yourself, you’ll probably realize how hard it is to keep it stable with that gentle low tone.
The structure shifts from the verse, which showcases a rich, resonant delivery, to a much higher register in the chorus, creating a great contrast within the song.
Overall, it sounds very natural, but you can clearly feel the precise control of pitch changes and vocal production throughout.
No, that’s not it.Suzuki Masayuki
Released in January 1994, this was Masayuki Suzuki’s 17th single and his first maxi single.
It’s a groovy track with an “adult” mood that could be called Japanese soul-funk, very much in line with his lifelong devotion to R&B.
Strongly influenced by so-called Black music, it’s a song where you can fully enjoy his wonderfully rich, soulful singing.
His slightly husky voice with plenty of low-end really comes alive in the track.
He also handles Japanese lyrics—often tricky to fit over a 16-beat groove—beautifully.
rainbowFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama’s 18th single, released in August 2003.
It came out as a triple A-side single: “Niji / Himawari / Sore ga Subete sa.” The featured song “Niji” was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama WATER BOYS, while “Sore ga Subete sa” was selected for a Pocari Sweat commercial, making this single a release that truly captured the momentum Fukuyama had at the time.
Known for his rich, deep lower register, Fukuyama’s vocal appeal is fully on display here as well—the track is crafted to let you savor the charm of his mid-to-low vocal range.
Songs by male artists known for their captivating low voices. Classic J-pop masterpieces and recommended popular tracks (21–30).
GOD_iNumber_i
Number_i is a dance-vocal group supported by women across a wide range of ages.
Their sophisticated dance performances and hip-hop-centered sound are striking.
From their tracks, the one I especially recommend for men with lower voices is GOD_i.
It’s a hip-hop-focused piece, and the hook features very low vocals.
While the rap itself is slightly on the challenging side, the vocal range makes it relatively easy to perform—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
