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 Where Even Those with Deep Voices Can Aim for High Scores (31–40)

to wish; to hopesoshina

The popular comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo.

The straight man, Soshina, is active in many areas—solo routines, YouTube, and more—and he’s also been making a big impact as an artist.

Among Soshina’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Kogu.

It has a strong punk rock flavor and a rough edge, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and there aren’t any lines that require complex pitch movements.

It’s particularly recommended for men with low voices, especially those with a gravelly vocal quality.

Among Vaundy’s works, Odoriko is renowned as one of his finest songs.

While he now releases many tracks featuring intense vocals, back then he tended to create pieces with soft, dream pop–like vocals.

This song is no exception, featuring that kind of vocal line.

Perhaps the most singable aspect is its narrow vocal range.

Even if you can’t hit high notes, it’s no problem—the melody stays within a very limited range, with few long sustained notes and little need for vocal power, making it easy to sing.

SaraiKayama Yūzō & Tanimura Shinji

Some of you reading this article may be a bit older.

For you, I recommend Sarai.

It’s a song well known even among younger generations thanks to its association with 24-Hour TV.

The real charm of this piece lies in its deep, mature vocal line.

Although the arrangement feels grand, the vocal range is very narrow—mid1 A to mid2 F—so men with lower voices should be able to sing it smoothly while making the most of their low tones.

Be sure to check it out.

LET ME KNOW is a band gaining popularity for their nostalgic, synth-pop-centered sound.

Their polished musicality has also been making waves in the Korean rock scene.

Among their songs, the one especially recommended for men with lower voices is Hatsu na feeling.

Although the vocalist, Matty, has a somewhat husky and slightly higher voice, this track has a relatively narrow vocal range, and its melody features long tones with few abrupt pitch jumps.

As a result, it’s arranged in a way that’s easy to sing even for men with lower voices.

Fujii Kaze’s “Masshiro.” Fujii Kaze is often associated with stylish, R&B-centered sounds, but this work comes together with a different atmosphere than usual.

It leans strongly acoustic, and the vocal lines are arranged to be calm and even, much like dream pop.

As a result, the range is low, and naturally there’s no intricate pitch movement, such as ad-libs and other embellishments.

For a Fujii Kaze song, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this ranks among the easiest to sing.

Singer-songwriter Mosawo, who is popular for her gentle lyrics and musicality that resonate with Gen Z.

Her hallmark is a whisper voice—soft vocals laced with breath—and all her works are crafted to make the most of that tone.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Gyutto.

Most of the track sits in the mid-range, so as long as you match the key, anyone can sing it comfortably.

The vocal line is also calm, without abrupt jumps in pitch.

Lost itemKitanitatsuya

Compared to his high notes, Tatsuya Kitani gives a stronger impression with his lower range, doesn’t he? He has a signature song called “Ao no Sumika,” but in fact, the new song “Nakushimono” has a narrower range and might be easier for low-voice male singers to sing in chest voice.

There are a few higher parts in the chorus, but falsetto works just fine there.

Just note that the last chorus modulates and goes up by a whole step.

If you can get through that section when you sing, you’ll be golden—so add some momentum and let your voice out!
