Recommended karaoke songs for men with low voices and those good at singing in the lower register (181–190)
HouyouKawaharada Shinichi
This is the fifth single overall from actor Shinichi Kawaharada, who appeared in the hugely popular Showa-era dramas “3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei” and “2-nen B-gumi Senpachi-sensei,” released on December 24, 2021.
In fact, I produced this track! During production, I arranged and directed the vocals with the utmost focus on conveying the charm of Mr.
Kawaharada’s gentle, refreshing voice to listeners.
Because of that, the vocal melody doesn’t rely on extreme high notes, so even those who aren’t confident with high pitches should be able to sing and enjoy it.
I hope you’ll sing it gently and carefully, without forcing it, and have a great time.
North Wind ~May It Reach You~Makihara Noriyuki
“North Wind ~May It Reach You~” is one of those songs you want to listen to as winter approaches, featuring the charming, gentle vocals of Noriyuki Makihara.
While many of his songs sit in a higher key and can feel difficult for male singers, this track doesn’t span a very wide range, making it relatively easy to sing.
Its pure-hearted lyrics are so warm they might make you forget the winter chill and melt listeners’ hearts.
Even men with lower voices will find it worth a try—so go ahead and give it a challenge!
yellowback number
This is back number’s 21st single, released on September 29, 2021.
It was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original romance reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf” (Niji to Ōkami ni wa Damasarenai).
I think the band’s vocalist, Iyori Shimizu, is a singer whose charm lies in his wonderfully unpretentious voice—in a good way.
He doesn’t sound overly polished or depend on flashy technique, which is incredibly appealing.
Even in this ballad, he showcases that beautiful voice to the fullest.
When you sing it at karaoke, don’t worry too much about singing perfectly—just try to “enjoy singing” in the simplest sense.
The sun is watching.Okuda Tamio
This is a single by Tamio Okuda, released on March 9, 2022.
It also served as the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Tobōi F” (Runaway Doctor F).
Set to a slow-to-medium-tempo, bluesy track, Okuda’s slightly husky, rugged vocals sound incredibly appealing.
The vocal melody sits mostly in the lower register, making it a perfect choice for low-voiced male singers to enjoy performing.
When you sing it, be careful not to let the rhythm become monotonous—feel the accents on beats 2 and 4 and keep the groove as you sing.
Show off your cool, gritty voice to your friends with this song!
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
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.
Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)Takahashi Yuu
This is Yu Takahashi’s third single, released on February 23, 2011.
Since the song was used in several commercials, many of you may have heard it through those.
As for Yu Takahashi’s singing voice, it’s very distinctive.
While it doesn’t particularly emphasize “low notes,” which is today’s theme, there’s something very compelling about his uniquely rough—in a good way—vocal style.
As mentioned, the vocal melody doesn’t demand especially low notes, so even if your voice is on the lower side and you worry about that, don’t be afraid to sing out and enjoy it, even if it’s a bit rough!
There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu
Originally released as a single by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, this version is a cover by Ulfuls released in February 2001.
One proven strategy for scoring high in karaoke is to choose Showa-era pop songs with easy-to-follow melodies, and this song is a perfect example.
In particular, the Ulfuls cover is arranged to suit Tortoise Matsumoto’s voice—he’s not especially known for high notes—so even men with lower voices can sing it with confidence.
Be sure to keep the light, upbeat groove as you sing!
