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 deep voices. Classic J‑Pop masterpieces and recommended popular tracks (51–60)
Mary Janetsunoda☆hiro
Hiro Tsunoda is one of Japan’s leading soul singers.
His appeal, above all, lies in his incredibly deep voice—so deep you’d hardly believe he’s Japanese.
It has astounding richness, and if you only listen to the voice, it can sound like a foreign singer.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is “Mary Jane.” It’s a classic, no explanation needed.
With its mix of sweetness and poignancy, this track brings out the full potential of his low register.
Be sure to give it a listen.
Aya ~Aja~Sazan Ōrusutāzu
Southern All Stars released their 48th single in April 2004.
It feels a bit odd to say this in a theme that introduces songs with appealing low tones, but despite being sung by Kuwata, whose slightly husky lower voice is one of his charms, this track actually leans on a somewhat higher register compared to other Southern songs.
It might not be the best pick if you want to enjoy low vocals or use them as a reference.
I suspect this was done to make the most of a light, springlike vibe.
Even so, the fact that he delivers a performance that fully brings the song to life without relying much on his strong low range is a testament to Kuwata’s remarkable skill and the weight of his career.
Truly a one-of-a-kind voice.
dialogueASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This is Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s (commonly known as Ajikan) 27th single, released in October 2020.
This is just my personal impression, but I think the band’s vocalist, Goto, has a very familiar, approachable voice—in a good way.
He doesn’t sing in an extremely high register, nor does he have the deeply resonant tone of low-voiced singers from the Showa era, but I find his singing, which centers on lower-register melodies, incredibly appealing.
I feel this song is crafted in a way that fully conveys Goto’s charm.
Frustrating LoveT-BOLAN
This was T-BOLAN’s fifth single, released in September 1992.
T-BOLAN’s Moritomo isn’t just a singer who relies on low notes; rather, as a contrast to his soaring high notes, he has a low register that’s very usable within the song, which is part of his appeal.
Leaving aside the range itself, the track makes very effective use of his distinctly “masculine” tone—rich in low-frequency overtones—which is extremely attractive.
Another charm of this song is the luxurious backing chorus lineup featuring Yuichi Ikuzawa and Maki Ohguro.

ChampionArisu
Alice’s 14th single, released in December 1978.
Although Alice originally started as a folk group, from around this release their sound took on a stronger rock flavor, making this song something of a precursor to the “New Music” genre that emerged in the early 1980s.
The band’s twin vocalists, Tanimura and Horiuchi, both possess exceptionally appealing low voices, and they leverage that strength to the fullest here, vividly conveying the pathos of the aging boxer depicted in the lyrics.
In terms of vocal range, it’s relatively easy for most people to sing, making it a great karaoke pick for low-voiced male singers.
Wine Red Heartanzenchitai
It was Safe Zone’s (Anzen Chitai’s) fourth single, released in November 1983.
It was used as the CM song for Suntory’s “Akadama Punch” and as the ending theme for the Fuji TV National Thursday Theater drama “Machigai Darake no Otto Erabi” (Choosing the Wrong Husband).
Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai, may not be widely perceived by the general public as a “low-voice singer,” but this song, “Wine Red no Kokoro” (Wine Red Heart), is one you should definitely hear if you hold that impression.
Especially in the low-register sections of the A melody, you can hear his voice carry a deep, highly persuasive quality.
It’s also an ideal reference track for singing gently in a low range, so please make good use of it.
All Waiting For MeRYKEYDADDY.X
The other day, RYKEY finally got back out into the free world.
He’s changed his artist name to RYKEYDADDY.X and dropped several new tracks in a short span.
The standout that’s drawing the most attention is All Waiting For Me.
It’s a talk-style rap that’s direct yet lyrical, showcasing his rugged, deep-toned voice throughout.
The hook is built in a low register as well, so it’s highly recommended for those with low, raspy voices.
