[For Men] Karaoke Songs Where Even Those With Low Voices Can Aim for High Scores (41–50)
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.
BEATWurtS
The artist WurtS has released many classic tracks with a style that incorporates a wide range of musical influences.
Lately, he’s gained popularity through collaborations with other artists, but now he’s dropped a solo hit: “BEAT.” It’s a highly alternative piece, built predominantly around the midrange throughout.
There’s a fair amount of low-mid content as well, making it an ideal song to showcase the rich midrange that only singers with lower vocal registers can achieve.
bergamotTomonari Sora
Sora Tomonari’s new song “Bergamot.” When it comes to Sora Tomonari, their vocals are known for focusing on the lower register, but this track is centered around the low-mid to mid range.
Falsetto appears in the chorus, but since it tends to use falsetto for notes that could be sung in chest voice, even men with lower voices can handle it without issue.
The occasional low-register parts are the biggest highlight, so aim for a rich, full vocal tone there.
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.
Lights Off (feat. Natori)TAKU INOUE
Lights Off (feat.
natori) is a collaboration between music producer TAKU INOUE, known for his sophisticated compositions, and singer-songwriter natori, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.
Speaking of natori, his distinctive low voice with a hint of youthfulness leaves a strong impression.
That vocal quality is fully utilized in this track as well, with most of the song built around the mid-to-low register.
There are occasional higher phrases that appear as accents, sharpening the contrast with the lower tones and further enhancing the appeal of a low male voice.
After-school[Alexandros]
![After-school[Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Isx_i--7DJg/sddefault.jpg)
[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.
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.
