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.

[For Men] Karaoke Songs Where Even Those With Low Voices Can Aim for High Scores (41–50)
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.
monologueHata Motohiro × Matayoshi Naoki
A collaborative piece, “Hitorigoto,” by Naoki Matayoshi—an Akutagawa Prize–winning author and comedian—and singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
With lyrics by Matayoshi and music by Hata, the work is characterized by a deep worldview uncommon in mainstream Japanese pop.
The melody is crafted to be very delicate, set at a slow tempo with a relatively narrow vocal range.
Because the pitch movement is gentle, even men with lower voices should be able to sing it with ease.
Be sure to sing it with feeling.
pure whiteFuji Kaze
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.
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!
After-school[Alexandros]

[Alexandros] is a band that has produced numerous classic songs.
Even those not well-versed in Japanese rock have probably heard their music at least once.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “After School.” While it has the essence of J-rock, it strongly incorporates elements of overseas alternative rock throughout, featuring a refreshing and composed vocal line.
It’s a notably understated piece: the vocals have minimal ups and downs and a relatively narrow range, making it an ideal song for aiming at a perfect score.
Unrequited loveSUPER BEAVER
SUPER BEAVER is a four-piece rock band that has been active since the 2000s.
Anyone who likes Japanese rock knows this legendary band.
With the release of Kataomoi (Unrequited Love), they once again drew nationwide attention.
This track, which sparked their resurgence, features an emotional melody that adds a touch of rock to a classic J-pop foundation.
While the vocals sit mostly in the low-to-mid range throughout, a high note appears near the end of the chorus where the singer belts a shout in chest voice.
Aside from that section, it’s a very singable song—so if you’re good at shouting, definitely give it a try.
I want to love you super muchneguse.
Neguse is a four-piece rock band with an emotive sound that’s popular among young listeners.
If you’re a teenage guy who follows Japanese rock, you probably know them.
“Super Aishitai” is one of their signature songs, characterized by a delicate, youth-evoking tone.
While it’s fairly bright and features explosive, rock-like riffs, the vocal line is surprisingly composed and stays within a relatively narrow range.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
