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.

Recommended karaoke songs for men with low voices and those good at singing in a low register (91–100)

planetariumBUMP OF CHICKEN

This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s ninth single, released in July 2005.

The song gives the impression of a medium-tempo pop-rock tune, and I think it’s a very easy choice to sing for karaoke.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, so many men who aren’t comfortable with high notes should still be able to sing it in the original key.

There are a few higher parts in the chorus, but if you avoid pushing your voice and sing with a slightly laid-back, nonchalant feel, it will likely sound even better.

Yusuke “Himawari” (Sunflower)

This was Yusuke Kamiji’s debut single released under the name “Yusuke,” on March 11, 2009.

It’s a medium-tempo song with a laid-back mood throughout, and there aren’t any high notes that require belting, so I think most men can casually hum along and sing it.

Yusuke’s voice isn’t the so-called ‘ikemen voice’ low register; instead, it has a simple, masculine quality.

That’s a great selling point, especially for low-voiced guys who don’t usually sing.

Gen Hoshino – Compromise (Official Video)
compromiseHoshino Gen

A digital-only single by Gen Hoshino, released in June 2020.

Unlike many recent songs, it’s rare in that it doesn’t shift to a high-pitched melody even in the chorus, letting you fully enjoy Hoshino’s rich low voice.

In particular, around 1:50 there’s a rap part(?) where he delivers a low-voiced rap that could honestly be called the very definition of an “ikébo” (a cool, attractive voice).

This section seems like the perfect “showcase” part for men who are good at low notes to sing at karaoke.

MARIONETTEBOØWY

One of their signature songs, and the vocal range isn’t very wide from start to finish.

The chorus doesn’t go up into a belting key either, so you can sing it in about the same key as the opening.

Above all, this song is guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke!

The End of the WorldTHEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT

The End of the World / THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT
The End of the WorldTHEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT

I think this is one of those songs many fans would call a signature track by Thee Michelle.

It’s very simple, but it’s bursting with that unmistakable Michelle style.

It’s a masterpiece made possible by Chiba’s raspy voice and the rhythm section’s tight sound.

It’s not a song you belt out, but I recommend it to anyone who can bring out the vibe with some shouts.

KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi

It’s Kenshi Yonezu’s 13th single, released in November 2022.

It was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man.

Over an up-tempo, hard-hitting backing track, you can enjoy Yonezu’s powerful, resonant lower register.

In that sense, it’s a song where men with lower voices can really showcase their vocal appeal.

However, he deliberately puts considerable strain on his throat and sings with a slightly distorted tone, so be careful not to over-imitate and damage your voice.

In the middle section, where it shifts to a somewhat classical style and is sung in a ringing, expansive manner, try placing the sound against your upper palate inside your mouth—you should be able to recreate that sonorous quality.

Give it a try.

Goodbye, Humanitytama

Many younger people may not know it, but it’s a hidden gem for those in the know.

It’s a slow-tempo song with a relatively low key, so it’s easy to sing.

However, the style suddenly changes in parts, so it might be hard to sing if you only remember it vaguely.

It’s an interesting song, so I think it goes over well with audiences.
