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 or who are good at singing in a low register (121–130)

MatryoshkaHachi (Hatsune Miku)

Hachi MV “Matryoshka” HACHI / MATRYOSHKA
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.

Happinessarashi

Happiness Arashi, KomaHan ver.
Happinessarashi

Released in 2007 as Arashi’s 20th single.

It was used as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama Yamada Taro Monogatari, starring members Kazunari Ninomiya and Sho Sakurai, and it reached No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

With elements of a cheer song, it’s a pop number that’s fun to sing.

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.

O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro

Kobukuro – Oh flowers now in full bloom
O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro

Kobukuro’s 24th single, released in February 2014.

Kobukuro isn’t particularly known for emphasizing a low, sexy voice, but if you listen closely to this song, you’ll notice they have a very appealing low register.

For example, the low note on the “yo” in the last part of the A-melody phrase “mebuku you ni” is incredibly cool—there aren’t many singers who can produce a low note like that.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this topic, resonating low notes cleanly and projecting them solidly is actually more difficult than extending high notes.

This track really showcases Kobukuro’s abilities as singers.

Roller CoasterSIRUP, SUMIN & A.G.O

SIRUP, SUMIN & A.G.O – Roller Coaster (Official Lyric Video)
Roller CoasterSIRUP, SUMIN & A.G.O

The track “Roller Coaster” features R&B singer SIRUP collaborating with Korean vocalist SUMIN and beatmaker A.G.O.

The piece is crafted as a mid-tempo slow jam, in line with a global trend.

It maintains a smooth, downbeat vibe throughout, with both SIRUP’s and SUMIN’s parts sung in the low to mid register.

Male vocalists who can produce rich overtones can especially bring out the appeal of the lower range, so if you’re confident in your vocal technique, definitely give it a try.

DoraemonHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino – Doraemon (Official Video)
DoraemonHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino’s 11th single, the theme song for the film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island, released in February 2018.

I imagine Hoshino’s songs are crafted to make the most of his honest, unadorned vocals, and indeed the melodies are simple and approachable across his work.

In particular, this song was likely designed to be easy for the film’s main audience—children—to sing, with no need for a wide vocal range.

It’s also very singable for men who aren’t confident with high notes.

Sing it brightly, energetically, and straightforwardly—just as if you were in Doraemon’s world!

MoneyHamada Shogo

Money (WE ARE STILL ON THE ROAD.)
MoneyHamada Shogo

Among Shogo Hamada’s songs, the keys are generally stable, so I think they’re easy to sing.

“Kanashimi wa Yuki no Yō ni” has a lower overall key, but the chorus goes a bit higher, and as a ballad it may be harder to hit those notes.

Therefore, the more up-tempo “Money” should be easier to sing and more likely to get the crowd going.
