Even karaoke beginners can relax! Easy-to-sing songs for men (461–470)

Winter and Springback number

The love song released in January 2024 is a poignant breakup track that also conveys a sense of forward-looking strength.

While carrying a faint lingering attachment and loneliness toward an ex who chose another woman, it portrays a woman facing her feelings and trying to take a new step, mirroring the seasonal shift as snow melts and spring arrives.

The delicate emotional expression and memorable melodies—so characteristic of back number—truly resonate.

It’s a heartwarming song that gently nudges those trying to overcome dark feelings and move forward.

[Male Vocal] Aimyon - “On Nights When Cherry Blossoms Fall” / Theme Song of “Don’t Be Fooled by Love and the Wolf” / Covered by Seigo Hirota / [Full Version]
On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon

AIMYON’s second digital-only single, released in February 2021.

The original is sung by a female vocalist, but it’s a very straightforward, catchy song that’s easy to hum along to, so as long as you adjust the key, I think men can absolutely enjoy singing it as well.

The video we’ve included is intentionally not of the artist herself, but a version sung by a man, so please use that as a reference and give it a try.

Although this article introduces karaoke songs that are easy for men to sing, having men sing songs originally by female vocalists can be really great too!

DRESSING ROOMnatori

Singer Natori has a distinctive, somewhat childlike tone despite his low voice.

Many low-voiced male singers probably include his signature song “overdose” in their repertoire.

Among Natori’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “DRESSING ROOM.” Rather than being a low song, it’s better described as not high, making every section comfortably singable.

The vocal line moves gently up and down, so it’s perfect if you want to sing with a languid, ennui-filled vibe.

An uplifting song that captures the hopes and anxieties of young people heading into a new chapter, set to an exhilarating rock sound.

Combining the unique freshness and strength of Naniwa Danshi, the track was released in February 2025 as the CM song for AOKI.

Since their debut, the seven members have embraced various forms of expression, and here they encourage those taking a new step forward with down-to-earth lyrics.

Carried by a sleek, urban groove and a danceable beat, its warm message affirms your true self and resonates deeply.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone feeling nervous about starting a new life, or for livening up karaoke at spring welcome and farewell parties.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Seija no Kōshin” (March of the Saints).

Needless to say, it’s a female-vocal track, but it’s one of those songs that still looks and sounds good when sung by a man.

The vocal melody doesn’t require a very wide range, so even men who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it without difficulty.

In fact, when men who aren’t good with high notes choose songs, female-vocal tracks often end up being quite singable options.

When a man sings a female-vocal song, I think it’s common to drop the key by an octave; on the other hand, if the low notes feel too tough, try adjusting the key up by about +2 to +3.

This song is famous in Japan as a children’s song, and the version I’m introducing here is Ken Hirai’s cover.

The only differences from the original are that part of the second verse doesn’t have a chorus, and in the third verse the last part of the chorus is sung twice.

Ken Hirai is renowned for his vocal ability, and his performance is nothing short of outstanding.

Since the piece itself is based on a nursery rhyme, even those who aren’t confident singers should find it approachable.

If you feel the original nursery-rhyme backing track isn’t quite your style, try singing with the karaoke track from Ken Hirai’s version.

The work “Hitorigoto,” a collaboration between popular singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata and Naoki Matayoshi, winner of the Akutagawa Prize.

In this piece, Matayoshi wrote the lyrics and Hata composed the melody, resulting in a captivating blend of exceptionally deep literary expression—rare in mainstream Japanese music—and a delicate melody.

Throughout, the vocal line is simply structured with no sudden leaps in pitch.

In addition, the overall range is on the narrower side, making it a very singable song for teenage males with lower voices.
