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 known for their captivating low voices. Classic J-pop masterpieces and recommended popular tracks (21–30).
December 17CRAZY KEN BAND
The greatest sound machine in the East: Crazy Ken Band.
Known for tracks like “Tiger & Dragon,” they’re a stylish, sophisticated band with serious chops.
Arguably, they’re the only group that’s mixed elements of R&B and soul into enka and pushed the sound this far into the neo realm.
The piece where you can savor frontman Ken Yokoyama’s low-register voice is “December 17.” Written as an insert song for the popular game Yakuza 2, it features a deeply cool set of lyrics and a vocal line that makes the most of his bass tones.
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.

rose flowerkururi
Quruli’s seventh single, released in January 2001.
It was also used as an insert song for the TBS drama “Orange Days.” Although the theme here is “the charm of the low end,” it’s not about rich, resonant low notes; rather, the piece features many lower-pitched tones and a laid-back melody, delivered with a somewhat loose, relaxed vocal style—that’s where its appeal lies, I think.
This way of singing might sound easy, but it’s surprisingly hard to pull off when you actually try it!
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
A signature song by MONGOL800, released in September 2001.
It has never been released as a single, yet it’s been covered by various artists and has firmly become one of their defining tracks, which is interesting.
Now, about the “low voice” you hear in this song: I think it’s closely tied to the band’s overall direction, but rather than a trained, resonant low register, the vocals from the very beginning are delivered in a sort of low, almost throwaway, murmuring style.
From the standpoint of “vocal polish,” this isn’t necessarily an approach you’d praise.
However, taken within the context of the whole track—where the chorus flips into a bright, pop-forward development with a belted high range—I think the singer’s individuality is produced very effectively.
It’s probably also one of the reasons this song is so popular: it’s full of charms that are anything but by-the-book.
Ooochie KoochieOoochie Koochie
Ooochie Koochie is a unit formed by Koji Kikkawa and Tamio Okuda.
Their teaming up—two rock musicians who defined an era—drew major attention when they first formed.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for men with low voices is GOLD.
It’s not that the song has a particularly narrow range, but because the low register vocals are mixed to be quite loud, it’s a perfect track for bringing out the appeal of a deep voice.
waxing; filling up; becoming full; growing (e.g., the moon growing fuller)Fuji Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s track “Michite Yuku.” These days, male artists who can deliver a deep low register have become extremely rare, but Fujii Kaze is one of the few who can truly command that range.
In this song, you can savor his low voice throughout.
While it draws on R&B at its core, the track maintains a consistently gentle tone that creates a chill vibe.
That atmosphere further enhances the comfort of his low vocals, so definitely give it a listen.
I love youback number
This is back number’s sixth digital single, released in October 2022.
In addition to being chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Maiagare!,” it was also selected as the entrance march for the 95th Memorial National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.
The band’s vocalist, Iyori Shimizu, is known for his appealingly “masculine” singing voice, and you can fully enjoy the charm of his chest voice in the lower register—especially in the A-melody sections of “I Love You.” Please enjoy the contrast with the high-register vocals featured in the chorus.
