Karaoke songs recommended for men with low voices or who are good at singing in a low register

In recent years, Japan’s music scene has seen an increase in songs with lots of high notes, influenced by K-pop.

As a result, it’s become harder for men with lower voices to find songs that suit them.

So! We’ve selected recommended tracks specifically for men with deep voices.

We also considered how well these songs go over at karaoke, so if you’re planning to go with a group soon, be sure to check them out.

Unchanging ThingsUeno Daiki

Unchanging ThingsUeno Daiki

Daiki Ueno is a singer-songwriter known for his warm vocals.

His version of “Kawaranai Mono” is a cover of Hanako Oku’s original, characterized by a lower, restrained key that gives it a more grounded feel.

While there aren’t distinctly low parts, the lowered key brings out many midrange phrases where vocal richness can shine.

If it feels a bit high for you, don’t hesitate to lower the key further when singing.

Because this song can easily lose volume, it’s recommended to turn down the backing track when singing it at karaoke.

Farewell, tearsKetsumeishi

Released in March 2016, this is Ketsumeishi’s 28th single.

As you’d expect from a Ketsumeishi track with its appealing slightly husky vocals, it’s an ideal song for lower-voiced men to sing at karaoke.

The song follows a classic J-pop single structure, with a catchy chorus melody and lyrics that repeatedly include the title—making it an easy pick for a casual karaoke number.

The key to nailing this song is, above all, how coolly you can deliver the rap-style sections.

First, memorize the lyrics well, then try singing while paying attention to phrase breaks and rests.

tear(s)Ketsumeishi

Released in 2004 as Ketsumeishi’s ninth single, it became one of their signature songs.

The track doesn’t do anything particularly flashy with its melody or chords—in fact, it’s rather simple—but it somehow grabs people’s hearts.

The key stays consistently low, making it easy to sing, yet it’s a song you want to keep listening to.

staring contestTomonari Sora

A gem of a song by Sora Tomonari that portrays a dangerous infatuation with a beppin-san—a person of alluring, bewitching beauty—through a uniquely expressive lens.

Featuring a compelling blend of East-meets-West melodies that evoke Taisho romanticism and a rich, deep vocal tone, the track was released in May 2024 and drew attention after being selected as J-WAVE’s SONAR TRAX and MTV’s Buzz Clip.

“Niramekko” sits in the A2–A4 range, so it isn’t particularly high, but we recommend switching to falsetto for the pre-chorus.

It’s a stylish tune, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Nothing I do goes well.meiyo

A debut work by meiyo, whose deep, mellow low tones resonate with the heart.

Far more than just a song that trended on social media, it’s a masterpiece that vividly captures the feelings of today’s youth.

With a sharp eye, it portrays the true emotions of modern people—putting on a brave face while tormented by inferiority, and confronting self-loathing.

The vocal range is set on the lower side at C3–A#4, making it very comfortable for low-voiced male singers.

As you listen, you’ll notice sections with octave-above backing vocals, so when singing, be careful not to get pulled up into the higher register.

SOUVENIRBUMP OF CHICKEN

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 19th digital single, released on September 29, 2022.

A CD single release is also planned for April 2023.

The song was reportedly written as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV Tokyo anime SPY×FAMILY.

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s vocalist, Motoo Fujiwara, is a singer with a wonderfully rich set of higher overtones in his voice, but the range used in this song isn’t that high, so I think it’s quite singable even for men with lower voices.

When you actually sing it, try placing your voice against your upper palate.

You’ll likely produce a tone with more high overtones and get closer to his sound.

Singing a bit curtly might bring you even closer to his style.

It’s Gen Hoshino’s ninth single overall, released on October 5, 2016.

It also served as the theme song for the TV drama “We Married as a Job!” in which Hoshino himself appeared.

The melody doesn’t focus solely on the lower register, and there’s even a brief moment in the chorus where the highest note is sung in falsetto.

But at this level, I think it’s still plenty singable for low-voiced men.

In fact, the A-melody and similar sections will likely sound even more appealing with a rich low tone, so please give it a try! When you sing it, be sure to keep that light, bouncy groove in mind.
