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.

Don’t Test MeSATORU Prod.MFDP

Rapper SATORU, who gained popularity through Breaking Down, tends to be treated as something of a novelty in the hip-hop scene because of that episode.

But among heads, he’s actually known as a particularly talented figure in Japan’s drill music scene.

His track “Don’t Test Me” is one of his signature works.

His voice is unbelievably good, and even with a simple flow he shines overwhelmingly.

It’s a song I’d love to hear performed by a man with a low, husky voice like his.

Money (WE ARE STILL ON THE ROAD.)

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.

Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN

Released in December 2004, this is Bump of Chicken’s eighth single.

Since vocalist Mr.

Fujiwara’s voice doesn’t leave a particularly “low-voiced” impression, some people might feel uneasy, but melodically it doesn’t go that high, so if you lower the key by about one semitone, most people should be able to handle the high notes without trouble.

Just be careful not to let it turn into a “heavy” performance, which would spoil the song—aim to sing as lightly as possible.

Achieving solid vocal production while keeping the delivery light does raise the difficulty in its own way, but we’ll save that explanation for another time.

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.

Released on October 24, 2001, this is Keisuke Kuwata’s seventh single as a solo artist, while he is also well known for his work with Southern All Stars.

As the title suggests, it’s a ballad themed around “winter,” and it’s the kind of excellent song that makes you think, “What impeccable taste!”—you can almost see the cold, snowy night streets as you listen.

Kuwata’s voice has a very appealing lower register, and the high parts in the chorus are expressed skillfully using falsetto.

When singing this at karaoke, whether you can convincingly reproduce those falsetto sections will likely be the key to making it sound good.

The other parts are a great opportunity for low-voiced men to shine, so practice smoothing the transition between your chest voice and the falsetto used in the high notes.

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.

This is Masaharu Fukuyama’s 18th single, released on August 27, 2003.

Speaking of Masaharu Fukuyama, he’s a singer known for his charming, rich baritone with great depth, and this song is no exception.

Its structure lets you fully enjoy his voice, especially in the whisper-like A-melody section.

When you sing it at karaoke, particularly in that A-melody, try to engage a broad area of your abdominal muscles to open your diaphragm, and resonate your voice in your chest cavity.

You’ll surely be able to deliver a wonderful low tone!
