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.

Goodbye, KobeTakahashi Eiichi
Hailing from Shiga Prefecture and still something of a “hidden gem,” powerhouse kayō singer Eiichi Takahashi released his third single in July 2018.
When a male vocalist with a rich, masculine low register sings lyrics from a woman’s perspective, it can heighten the sense of allure and lead to great results—and this song is a prime example.
His voice may be on the “sweet” side, but Takahashi’s resonant lows vividly convey the woman’s emotions in the lyrics, while the high notes in the chorus further underline the poignancy.
There aren’t many singers of this type nowadays, so be sure to check him out now.
Of course, it’s also a great karaoke pick for men who excel in the lower register!
budKobukuro
Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is also quite a masterpiece, so it’s a song I’d love for you to sing whether solo or as a duo.
Since Kobukuro are a duo, the vocal range is fairly wide at A#2–A#4, and Kuroda’s part is quite low, so if you’re singing with two people, taking Kuroda’s part might be a good idea! By the way, when I sang this song I had a male partner; I left all the main melody to him and stuck to the harmony! The harmonies in this song are beautiful, so if you have a partner, definitely try tackling the harmonies too! Overall, try singing it with a calm vibe so it doesn’t become too forceful.
You To YouASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION (hereafter referred to as Ajikan), released digitally on March 9, 2022.
Masafumi Gotoh, Ajikan’s vocalist, shows off his clear, soaring high notes in this track as well, but he’s also a very compelling singer in how he uses and delivers his lower range.
In this song, particularly in the A-melody sections, he presents a firmly grounded, resonant low voice.
If you pay attention to how he phrases the ends of lines, I think you’ll get a better sense of the appeal of his lower register.
The contrast with the expansive high tones heard in the chorus is also one of the track’s highlights.
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.

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.
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.
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.
