Male (51–60)
Craft feat. ZORNKREVA
How about amping yourself up by delivering some slick hip-hop with precision? It’s a collaboration between rappers KREVA and ZORN, included on KREVA’s ninth album, “LOOP END / LOOP START,” released in 2021.
The passionate flow is electrifying! And the lyrics—filled with a strong will to keep moving toward your dreams—are genuinely encouraging.
The vocal range should be approachable for most male singers.
LullabyMiura Daichi
For men who struggle with high notes, I recommend the song “Lullaby.” It was released in 2010 by Daichi Miura, a dancer who delivers overwhelming performances to his audiences.
Its slow tempo and dramatic melody line are deeply moving.
The song stays in a lower key throughout, so you can tackle it using only chest voice.
Memorize the lyrics, which blend Japanese and English, and sing it coolly! Why not show off this number—full of mature charm—at karaoke?
YOKAZEHentai Shinshi Kurabu
For men, I think hip-hop numbers like this are easy to sing in your natural voice! “YOKAZE” is a track by the three-member music unit Hentai Shinshi Club.
It’s included on their first album, “ZURUMUKE,” released in 2020.
The city-tinged track and mellow flow are calming.
The lyrics, which make you feel like “It’s okay to fail—let’s live true to ourselves,” are emotionally resonant.
It might be a good song to sing when you want to reset your mood.

It seems this was the set piece for the 2011 (78th) NHK All-Japan School Music Competition, Junior High Division! The vocal range is quite wide, from A2 to C5.
The falsetto parts appear in the chorus.
The melody line is easy to follow, building nicely through a verse (A), pre-chorus (B), chorus, and final chorus.
First, the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to overuse your throat there.
If you watch choirs or singers’ facial expressions, you’ll notice their eyebrows and facial muscles are lifted quite a bit.
Simply lifting your facial muscles like this helps open the throat and makes singing a bit easier.
It also helps you transition smoothly from chest voice to falsetto.
In addition, make sure to fully support and release your breath on the high falsetto notes.
Aiming your voice straight up toward the top of your head makes falsetto easier to produce.
With just a small shift in awareness, the song becomes much easier to sing—give it a try!
Male (61–70)
FlowerNaka Kousuke
Takao Nakashima, known for his distinctive musical style that blends island-music elements with pop, has a unique sound.
It’s said that “Hana” was written by Naotaro Moriyama with Nakashima’s vocal timbre and worldview in mind.
My students practice this song too, and every time I listen, I think, “What a beautiful piece!” Nakashima’s voice has an airy openness, and his transitions into falsetto are completely seamless—so beautiful.
The overall range of Hana is E3 to B4, which is quite singable even in chest voice, but since we have the chance, let’s also use falsetto to bring out the bittersweet emotion.
If falsetto is difficult for you, start by singing gently without tensing up.
Take a full breath and sing with the image of projecting your voice right in front of you.
To make the switch to falsetto in the chorus smoother, it also helps to keep your facial muscles lifted throughout.

“Sukide Ite Kurete Ii yo,” included on the album Strawberry Next! produced by the internet-based entertainment group Strawberry Prince (SutoPuri) in 2020.
It’s a colorful pop song written and composed by Vocaloid producer DECO*27.
Each SutoPuri member sings within their own vocal range, so try finding the version that matches your range.
The bright, catchy melody is truly moving.
Why not show off this charming, cute song at karaoke?

Released on June 18, 2008, it’s the fifth opening theme song for the TV anime Gintama.
At just three minutes long and with a repeating melody, it’s extremely easy to remember.
I think it’ll be a big hit with fans of anime songs, rock, and bands! The vocal range is C3–F4, which is comfortably within the range for many male singers.
If you’re good with high notes, you might find it a bit lacking, so try raising the key when you sing! By the way, songs with a narrow range that are easy to sing can sometimes feel a bit dull and less enjoyable.
In those cases, try adding exaggerated dynamics to each phrase, emphasizing the initial accents, or making small tweaks to build excitement.
If you avoid sounding too flat and learn to sing it with a pleasant flow, you’ll enjoy it even more!
