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 bass (141–150)

This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 24th single, released in May 2009.

It’s a lively, upper mid-tempo track with a 70s brass rock vibe, and in that sense it’s a very easy song to sing at karaoke.

The light, brisk beat paired with Fukuyama’s rich, deep voice makes for a striking combination.

That said, the song’s range—especially in the chorus—does include higher notes, so if you’re not comfortable with high tones, it’s important to check in advance and adjust the key to suit you.

Singing it with a slightly heavier feel than the beat will make it sound even cooler.

Pastoral – Koji Tamaki (Full)

This is a famous song by Koji Tamaki, well-known as the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.

The tempo is fast outside the chorus, so keeping the rhythm might be tricky, but the key itself is low, making it a relatively easy song to sing.

It’s a well-known track, so it really gets the crowd going.

I love youback number

This is back number’s sixth digital single overall, released in October 2022.

It was chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Maiagare!” The band’s vocalist, Iyori Shimizu, is known for his wonderfully rich low voice, and that charm shines through in this slow-tempo rock ballad as well.

He delivers a captivating performance with his deep tones.

Recreating this appeal in karaoke may be a special advantage for men with lower voices.

There are parts in the chorus where falsetto is used on the high notes, so pay attention to switching your vocal register and give it a try.

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!

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.

Happy Endingback number

This is back number’s 16th single, released on November 16, 2016.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the film “My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday.” Within this beautiful slow ballad, vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s masculine tone really shines.

To recreate the song’s atmosphere at karaoke, I think a resonant low-end in your voice is essential.

In the chorus where it climbs into higher notes, even his own singing has a slightly rough edge—and that’s part of the song’s charm.

Even if you feel self-conscious about singing high notes, don’t worry—just go for it and sing your heart out!

Clover - Masaki Suda [Chinese-Japanese Dynamic Lyrics]

If you’re looking for a song with few high notes that you can sing comfortably without strain, I recommend Clover.

This track is included on Masaki Suda’s second album, LOVE, with lyrics and composition by Huwie Ishizaki.

Filled with a gently warming message to someone dear and straightforward feelings from the heart, this medium-tempo number has almost no high sections, so it’s easy to sing even in the original key.

It’s a great choice for those who struggle with high notes.
