Karaoke songs recommended for men with low voices or strong bass range (211–220)
rutKobukuro
It’s a motivational song that lifts you up when you’re troubled or feeling down.
Released in 2001 as the second single by the musical duo Kobukuro, it’s irresistibly catchy with its light rhythm and satisfying chorus.
The chorus itself doesn’t require excessively high notes, so it’s a great pick.
Since it’s a fast-paced track, be sure to keep a steady tempo and pay attention to your articulation.
So there was one in Tokyo, too.Fukuyama Masaharu
“Tokyo Nimo Attanda” depicts someone who came to Tokyo with a dream, gazing at the beautiful scenery they found there while thinking of a loved one back home.
Released in 2007 as a double A-side single together with “Muteki no Kimi,” the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” Although the chorus includes a section with a slightly higher key, the song overall showcases the appeal of a low voice, making it recommended for those with a lower vocal range.
Its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody also make it accessible for people who aren’t used to singing.
Sailing DayBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s fifth single, released in March 2003.
I know it’s a bit ironic to say this after introducing it under the theme “recommended for men with low voices,” but while the original is indeed sung with a relatively husky tone, the vocal range actually dips quite low at times (lol).
That said, it’s not like you need effortlessly soaring high notes; as long as you can push out some earnest-sounding highs, you should be fine—so there’s no need to be too intimidated.
However, if you don’t have proper vocal technique yet, belting or forcing the high notes too much can damage your throat, so please be careful about that.
If you ever feel like “this might be risky,” try lowering the key and give it a go.
Crossed Wires of Pure InnocenceT-BOLAN
It was released in 1993 as T-BOLAN’s eighth single.
The song was used as the image song for AXIA (Fujifilm Imaging Co., Ltd.), with lyrics by Arashi Moritomo and music by Tetsuro Oda.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and at the time of its release the band was popular enough to have two songs simultaneously enter the chart’s top 10.
If I can laughUrufuruzu
It was released in 2002 as Ulfuls’ 23rd single.
The song was used as the ending theme for the Yomiuri TV drama “Ginza no Koi,” in which vocalist Tortoise Matsumoto appeared, and from 2007 it was featured in commercials for Takeda Pharmaceutical’s Alinamin series.
It’s a song notable for its bright, positive lyrics.
Family LandscapeHanaregumi
Hanaregumi is the solo project of Takashi Nagazumi, the vocalist of the Japanese funk band SUPER BUTTER DOG, which disbanded in September 2008.
This work is his first single, released in October 2002.
It’s a memorable track characterized by a folk-inspired style with prominent acoustic guitar and vocals that have a distinctive, almost spoken delivery.
Since the song doesn’t venture into extremely high notes, it’s relatively approachable for people who struggle with high registers in terms of key; however, capturing the unique “flavor” of his singing can be quite challenging.
Ideally, it’s a song you’d want to memorize the lyrics for and perform with a solid understanding of its world and atmosphere.
Sorrow like snowHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada’s single was first released on November 21, 1981.
A remake version was later released on February 1, 1992.
The trigger for the remake’s release was its selection as the theme song for the drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni” (Under the Name of Love).
Hamada has a singing voice with very attractive low overtones; that slightly rough tone and delivery make him a truly compelling vocalist.
Even the higher notes he sings with a hint of strain sound very appealing in his performances.
It’s not the typical ‘ikébo’ (cool deep voice) type of low range, but for men with similar vocal qualities, this is a song you should definitely pick at karaoke.
The song we’re introducing here, “Kanashimi wa Yuki no Yō ni” (Sorrow Is Like Snow), is a slow-tempo ballad, but try to sing it in a way that never feels weak or fragile.
