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 and those good at singing in the lower register (181–190)

Friends’ SongZūkaraderu

Friends' SongZūkaraderu

Zutto popular in today’s Japanese rock scene, the band Zookaraderu has been drawing attention.

Rather than chasing trends, they stick to the kind of rock they want to make—a stance that’s earned high praise from hardcore fans.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Tomodachi no Uta.

While it’s not a track with particularly heavy low end, the vocal line has a masculine edge, making it perfect for showcasing the rich depth of a low male voice.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

loadTHE toraburyū

It’s a mega-hit that represents the ’90s.

The pitch isn’t that high, and if you belt it out, I think many people can cover it within their range.

It’s a rich, classic song with 14 alternate versions, so even if it’s easy to sing, it might be better to avoid performing multiple different versions just because of that.

Saru Iwashi Tour / Like a White Cloud / Hiroiki Ariyoshi

This song became an unusually big hit for a comedy duo.

By the way, Saruganseki was the duo that Hiroiki Ariyoshi used to be part of.

The song doesn’t have particularly high notes and is easy to sing.

Since you don’t need to belt, it might also be good for warming up your voice.

There’s always tomorrowUrufuruzu

Ulfuls Ashita ga Aru sa Vietsub There’s Always Tomorrow!!
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!

Ruby RingTerao Akira

Akira Terao – Ruby Ring (1981)
Ruby RingTerao Akira

This was Akira Terao’s sixth single, released on February 5, 1981.

It was a massive hit at the time and remains his biggest success, so as of July 2021, most people in their 50s and older are likely familiar with it.

Given that, it hardly needs an introduction, but the song was composed to make the most of Terao’s low, husky voice.

It’s a perfect choice for baritones to pick at karaoke.

Avoid making it sound too light—sing it in a way that fully showcases the charm of your proud low register!

I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – I Want to Be Kind [Live at Nippon Budokan 2012.2.11]
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito’s 39th single, released in November 2011.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kaseifu no Mita.” Saito’s appeal lies in his very “masculine,” wild vocal style.

If you can capture that vibe well, the song itself doesn’t have a very wide vocal range, so it should be easy to sing even for men with lower voices.

However, precisely because the melody is simple, if you sing it too casually it can end up sounding very dull, so if you do perform it, it’s best to be careful not to let it become flat.

VertigoMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION「Vertigo」
VertigoMAN WITH A MISSION

Among men with low voices, some may want to make the most of that depth by singing songs with a loud, punchy sound.

For them, I recommend Vertigo.

It’s a new track by MAN WITH A MISSION, crafted with a raw, aggressive vibe where intense guitar riffs and scratches roar throughout.

In contrast to the rough instrumentation, the vocal line has a narrow range and few long sustained notes, making it especially easy to sing for those with a husky, low voice.
