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 strong lower registers (131–140)

dragonflyNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

A mega-hit song that was tied in as the theme for “Tonbo,” which drew attention for its bold casting and extreme direction.

Its catchy, upbeat style, wide recognition, and above all its comfortable vocal range are likely why it’s a heavy-rotation favorite at karaoke.

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!

10-FEET – Re Equation (Theme song for the TBS Friday drama 'Fermat's Cuisine') Audio Movie
Re equation10-FEET

This is the 23rd digital-only single by 10-FEET, a Japanese three-piece rock band that incorporates a wide range of genres including rock, punk, heavy metal, reggae, hip-hop, and guitar pop, released in October 2023.

It has been selected as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Fermat no Ryori” (Fermat’s Cuisine).

It’s an up-tempo rock track with TAKUMA’s powerful vocals leaving a strong impression! The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, so it’s a perfect song for lower-voiced singers to tackle powerfully at karaoke.

Throughout the song, be careful not to let your voice lose strength—just like in the original, sing out with power and enjoy!

Many of Mr.Children’s songs are set in relatively high keys, but this one begins in a spoken style and is sung in a generally lower key, making it comparatively easier to sing even for men with lower voices.

As it’s a song that looks back on the time Mr.Children visited Okinawa during their 1999 tour, singing it in a lower voice may help the scenes come to life more vividly.

BoySaitō Kazuyoshi

This is the 14th digital-only single by Kazuyoshi Saito, released on March 10, 2021.

Given that Saito is known for his very “masculine” vocals, it’s naturally a great karaoke pick for men who can deliver rich low tones.

However, to sing the chorus coolly, you’ll also need a powerful high tone in chest voice, which might make it a bit of a high hurdle as a karaoke choice.

By all means, make the most of your proud low range while showing a performance that doesn’t rely on falsetto for the high notes!

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.

MarshmallowOkuda Tamio

Okuda Tamio’s 10th single overall, released on January 19, 2000.

I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t know this, but at the time it was released exclusively as a limited-edition analog record single.

(It’s now available as a digital download.) It was also used in a Suntory “Kakubin” commercial.

The track is a mid-tempo, straightforward rock ’n’ roll number, produced so you can fully enjoy Okuda’s rich, slightly languid vocals over the backing track.

There aren’t any parts that require particularly high notes, so focus on the vibe and have fun singing it.

In fact, not trying too hard to sing “well” is probably the key to making it sound great—such is this song.
