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!
