Karaoke songs where even men with low voices can aim for high scores
In recent years, Japanese pop music tends to have far more dramatic pitch jumps compared to a decade or two ago.
It’s now commonplace for a string of low parts to be suddenly interrupted by a sharp falsetto.
With that backdrop, scoring high in karaoke has become more difficult than before—especially for men with lower voices, who may feel it even more strongly.
This time, we’ve picked out Japanese songs that are easier to score well on in karaoke, specifically for men with low voices, spanning multiple generations.
We’ve also included many current hits, so be sure to check it out to the end!

[For Men] Karaoke Songs That Can Score High Even With a Low Voice (1–10)
Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think there are many that are easy for low-voiced male singers to sing.
For “Eine Kleine,” the range is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the high notes in the chorus a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without pushing.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of a gritty tone; that also helps create the right vibe.
The melody line is easy to grasp, so everyone, give it a try!
SUNHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino is a singer-songwriter who enjoys wide popularity for his broad musical range, from stylish tracks rooted in R&B and neo-soul to catchy, pop-leaning songs.
He has many classics, but the one I especially recommend for men with particularly low voices is SUN.
This piece sits in an average vocal range of mid1 D# to hi A.
While the arrangement highlights the lower register typical of Hoshino’s vocal quality, the hi A may feel slightly low as a ceiling for men with deep voices, so consider lowering the key with that note as your reference point.
Bacchi DancerDOES
DOES is a rock band that’s extremely popular with male listeners.
Many people may have come to like them through the anime Gintama.
Among DOES’s songs, one I especially recommend is Bakuchi Dancer.
It’s a sharp, punchy rock track, but the vocal range is very compact at mid1D to mid2E.
Plus, the singing style is mainly a spit-it-out delivery, so it doesn’t require delicate vocals and is exceptionally easy to sing.

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki
“I always end up singing songs from the ’90s and ’00s, so I want to try some recent hits too…” If that sounds like you, gentlemen, why not take on Masaki Suda’s “Sayonara Elegy”? Written by singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki and released in 2018 as Suda’s single, it’s a hugely popular track with 180 million views on YouTube as of now.
Its melody carries a touch of nostalgia and a bittersweet sense of drive that really hits home.
The tune is so memorable you’ll pick it up after just one listen, and its straightforward structure makes it easy to sing.
So when you try it at karaoke, aim to savor each word of the lyrics as you sing.
Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)
The hit song “Umi no Koe” was born from an au commercial.
It was composed by the Okinawan band BEGIN, and the vocals are sung by Kenta Kiritani, who plays Urashima Taro.
Since Kiritani is primarily an actor, the vocal line is crafted to be very simple.
While the arrangement doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, you can sing from the first verse through the chorus using a resonant, overtoned delivery that adds fullness.
It’s recommended for those who want to emphasize thickness rather than sheer depth.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
Despite having nearly 30 years of activity, the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN is still at the forefront.
They have many famous songs, but among them, the most well-known is probably Tentai Kansoku.
The song’s vocal range spans from low G# to mid2 G#, with the lower register being quite deep.
Since a mid2 F appears in the final chorus, if you adjust the key so that you can sing that part solidly, it shouldn’t feel particularly difficult.
Have a nice dayimase
Singer-songwriter imase is well known for his falsetto.
It might seem unrelated for men with low voices, but among his works are songs where a deeper tone really shines.
One of them is “Have a nice day.” Its range is slightly wide at mid1D to hiC#, but compared to modern J‑POP it’s set on the lower side, so you can emphasize a low voice.
That said, it’s an imase song—falsetto does make an appearance—so adjust the key to a range where it’s easy for you to sing in head voice.
