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 lower registers (111–120)

This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 11th single, released on October 2, 1995.

When it comes to Masaharu Fukuyama, few would disagree that his rich low register is one of his greatest attractions as a singer.

This song is crafted to let you fully enjoy that deep voice, making it an ideal choice for karaoke if you’re confident in your lower range.

However, if you mumble in the low notes, the appeal of your voice won’t come through, so don’t forget to sing with solid low-register support and clear articulation.

Also, in the chorus, where the melody rises a bit, try placing the resonance toward your upper palate.

This will create a sharper contrast with the other sections and make the performance sound even better—give it a try when you sing.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

Masaki Suda, who is primarily active as an actor, released his third single in February 2018.

It also served as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss that Kills.” Suda himself appeared in the drama as Kazunori Harumi.

Although calling singing his side job would be disrespectful given his talent as a vocalist, Suda’s greatest appeal as a singer is his “fiery delivery,” which you can hear in this track.

The song was composed by Huwie Ishizaki, known for his distinctive works, and it likely was written with Suda in mind.

With its very straightforward and accessible melody, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke.

Match Suda’s passion and sing it through to the end with your own “fiery voice.”

MatryoshkaHachi (Hatsune Miku)

One song from Vocaloid.

Vocaloid tracks tend to have very fast tempos and high keys, so even skilled singers may find them challenging, but this song is relatively easy to sing if you lower it by one octave.

Still, be careful—the chorus is a bit high.

Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Ballad of a Singer (2008 Ver.) [Music Video Short ver.]
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi

This was Kazuyoshi Saito’s 15th single, released on November 21, 1997.

It’s one of his signature songs and has been covered by many singers.

It was also used as the ending theme for TBS’s “COUNT DOWN TV.” It’s a slow ballad that sings of a very simple, earnest male heart, and Saito’s vocals—masculine and, in a good way, a bit rough around the edges—add color to it.

It’s the kind of song that would be a perfect fit for a man with a rich, low, rugged voice.

In terms of pitch, there are parts like the chorus that require fairly high notes, but I think it can be an intentional choice not to lower the key and instead let those “almost-breaking high notes” carry the performance.

Go show them a song that a clean-voiced, high-tenor type couldn’t pull off!

This was Masaki Suda’s fifth single overall, released on November 25, 2020.

It was also the theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.” The song was written and composed by Huwie Ishizaki.

As for Suda’s vocals on this track, I think a man with an average vocal range could choose it for karaoke and sing it without too much strain.

In the A section, men who are good at lower notes can really show their strengths.

However, in the chorus and other parts, you’ll need a reasonably high range, so be mindful of that.

Speaking as a vocal coach, I feel there are aspects where it’s hard to say he’s singing with entirely proper technique, but that might actually work in your favor when singing it at karaoke.

Even on the official recording, that quality is effectively reflected in the musical expression.

In that sense, perhaps it’s a credit to the producer in charge.

Try singing the high notes by belting them out—even if a bit rough—without using falsetto or mixed voice.

Cheerschinza DOPENESS

Chinza Dopeness is a rapper with an overwhelmingly sharp sense in the hip-hop scene.

His highly sophisticated flow and musicality have earned huge support from hardcore heads and music aficionados.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Kanpai.

It’s a mellow rap piece with a strong emphasis on vocals.

Since he has a naturally deep voice, he makes the low end sound compelling throughout the song.

When you sing it, pay attention to the R pronunciation and the groove.

Doing so will make it sound like Western music even though it’s in Japanese.

BoyhoodInoue Yosui

Yosui Inoue – Shonen Jidai (Live) NHK Hall 2014/5/22
BoyhoodInoue Yosui

This is Yosui Inoue’s 29th single in total, released on September 21, 1990.

When it comes to Yosui Inoue’s singing voice, his very clear high notes are extremely appealing and memorable, so few people may think of him as a “low-voice singer.” However, precisely because he has a rich, resonant low register that contrasts with his high parts, I believe it enhances and showcases the beauty of those higher tones even more from a production standpoint.

If you choose this song for karaoke, be sure to focus on vocalization that makes solid use of chest and oral cavity resonance for the low parts.

For that, the “Hollywood-style vocal technique” I recommend is one of the optimal solutions!
