WANIMA is a three-piece rock band that enjoys strong support from rock kids across Japan.

KENTA, the band’s vocalist, is known for his wild vibe and distinctive husky voice.

While WANIMA’s songs are characterized by high-tone vocals, KENTA especially showcases a breathy, husky timbre when singing in the mid-to-low register.

You could even say, “His voice is indispensable to WANIMA’s music!!” It’s one of the elements that truly defines their sound.

Leon Niihama is an enka singer from Shiroi City, Chiba Prefecture, whose striking looks are reminiscent of a K-pop idol.

He is the son of enka singer Yasuo Takashiro, known for the Hakata no Shio commercial jingle, and in his childhood he was devoted not to enka but to baseball.

Later, at his father’s recommendation, he set his sights on becoming an enka singer, trained from the ground up, and debuted in 2019.

His greatest charm is, above all, his mood-rich singing voice.

Although he has a pure, clean-cut image, his vocals exude a remarkably mature sensuality.

GACKT made his solo debut in 1999 and has continued to command an overwhelming presence as a male solo artist ever since.

Active across a wide range of genres, from rock to J-pop, his greatest appeal is undoubtedly his extraordinary vocal prowess.

His voice, which he controls freely from low to high notes, irresistibly captivates listeners.

In 2007, he also made headlines by forming the band S.K.I.N.

with YOSHIKI, SUGIZO, and others.

Combined with his sculpted, striking physique, he’s truly a quintessential example of a “male singer with an incredible voice.” Highly recommended for those who want to lose themselves in GACKT’s vocals.

After appearing on The X Factor, singer Takuji Yamamoto energized the R&B scene for a while.

He now performs mainly as a street musician under the name Emoh Les.

His defining traits are, above all, a truly outstanding vocal ability that would rank among the top five in Japan, and a rich, resonant low register that holds its own alongside Black R&B singers.

In “Asia no Kibou” (“Hope of Asia”), you can revel in his warm, full-bodied low voice.

His vocal skills are phenomenal, so be sure to check him out.

Speaking of low-voice artists, many people nowadays might think of Sora Tomonari.

With that in mind, I recommend this track, “ACTOR.” It features a musical-like style and is sung primarily in the low to low-mid range throughout.

In the final section, vocals jump up by an octave, which might make it seem high, but if that’s difficult you can simply stick to the original line.

As such, it’s a very singable song for men with lower voices.

SEKAI NO OWARI

This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 13th major-label single, released in June 2020.

Throughout the song, the vocal melody is centered in the low to mid range, and along with its gentle arrangement, it creates a very moody atmosphere.

The vocals carry a somewhat androgynous impression—not the kind of voice typically associated with the phrase “deep voice”—but the calm, mellow quality that runs through the entire track resonates very pleasantly, making it highly appealing.

The contrast between the androgynous timbre and the low-centered melody seems to craft a unique sonic world.

It might be a song that works equally well whether sung by a man or a woman, such as at karaoke.

Tatsuya Ishii, the singer of the veteran and popular group Kome Kome Club.

The charm of his singing voice likely lies in his deep, richly resonant low–mid range.

In fact, this “well-resonant low–mid range” is one of the most difficult registers to sing.

High notes, in a sense, can be extended to some degree by training the muscles that control the vocal cords, so expanding that range isn’t all that hard.

But with low notes, you can’t produce pitches below the physical limit set by the natural length of your vocal cords, and you only get low tones by relaxing them as much as possible.

Producing a voice that is both deep and vibrant in that state is extremely difficult.

For those looking to strengthen their low–mid range, he’s a singer well worth studying, so by all means, take a close look.
