Male (41–50)
innocent feelingLET ME KNOW
LET ME KNOW is a three-piece rock band with a husky vocal tone and a distinctly ’80s musical vibe.
Their “pleasantly old-school” sound, delivered by three members with idol-worthy looks, is truly impressive.
Among LET ME KNOW’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Hatsu na feeling.
It’s a track that employs ’80s-style synthesizers throughout and sits in the mid to upper-mid vocal range.
If you want to sing with a soaring delivery in the original key, this is a must-hear!
Male (51–60)
humorKitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani is hugely popular among teens and people in their twenties for his wide-ranging musicality and catchy songs.
He has many great tracks, but one I especially recommend that you can sing without changing the key is Humor.
It features falsetto in the chorus, but the notes are high enough to be handled in chest voice as well, and the overall range is relatively narrow, so anyone with an average vocal range should be able to sing it in the original key.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
IBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN is a band supported by a wide range of listeners, from people in their 30s down to teens.
You might not associate them with low vocals, but they actually have many low-register phrases, making a lot of their songs easy to sing for men with deeper voices.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “I.” This song has a narrow vocal range, and the A and B sections are mostly in the low to lower-mid range.
The chorus features falsetto; if that part is difficult, try either raising the key to make the falsetto easier, or lowering the key and singing it in mixed voice.
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.
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.
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
The comedy duo Saruganseki blazed a trail in their era.
It was the duo that Hiroiki Ariyoshi was part of, and they also achieved major success in music.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Shiroi Kumo no Yō ni (Like a White Cloud).
Since the two members aren’t professional musicians, the vocal line is kept very simple, and the range is compact—roughly from mid1 E to mid2 D.
While it doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, it’s a very easy song to sing even for men with lower voices.
balladKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi is known for having lots of bright songs with plenty of hip-hop and rap elements, but they actually have ballads too! With gentle melodies over piano and string-backed arrangements… this side of Ketsumeishi is really satisfying to listen to, and it looks cool to sing as well! The song runs close to seven minutes, so it’s on the longer side, but it’s highly recommended when you want something mellow.
Of course, there’s rap in it too, but the tempo is relaxed, so it’s easy to learn and easy to groove to.
It seems best to sing while moving your body in a big, open way.
The chorus is a real highlight, so if you sing each phrase carefully, you can really put your feelings into it.
There are spots where it slips lightly into falsetto, which adds a surge of poignancy.
The latter half of the chorus is a sweet spot for singing, so don’t hesitate—project your voice with confidence!
