Male-Popularity Artist Rankings [2026]

[Official] Hiromi Go - “Ienai yo” Music Video — In celebration of streaming release

A ballad you can sing with a moist, mature allure.

Released in 1994, it became a big hit.

The range itself isn’t very high; if you can firmly nail the G4 in the chorus as an accent, you’ll be in good shape.

Since it’s a relaxed song, it’s easy to rack up points with pitch accuracy, long tones, and vibrato, so you need to take solid breaths and project your voice.

The structure builds clearly from verse (A) → pre-chorus (B) → chorus.

Deliver the A section in a spoken, narrative style, gradually raise the tension in the B section toward the chorus, and then let your emotions burst in the chorus!

HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel86rank/position

HONEY [15th L’Anniversary Live]

When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.

L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.

I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.

The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.

If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.

When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.

And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!

Voice of the Seaurashima tarō (kiritani kenta)87rank/position

"The Voice of the Sea" Full ver. / Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani) [Official]

The hit song “Umi no Koe” was born from an au commercial.

It was composed by the Okinawan band BEGIN, and the vocals are sung by Kenta Kiritani, who plays Urashima Taro.

Since Kiritani is primarily an actor, the vocal line is crafted to be very simple.

While the arrangement doesn’t particularly emphasize the low register, you can sing from the first verse through the chorus using a resonant, overtoned delivery that adds fullness.

It’s recommended for those who want to emphasize thickness rather than sheer depth.

The Zero Sense10-FEET88rank/position

10-FEET – The Zero Sense (Ending Theme Song of the Film 'THE FIRST SLAM DUNK')

Created as the ending theme song for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, this track expresses the passion of pursuing dreams and the resolve to face hardships, all through the theme of basketball.

Its poetic lyrics skillfully weave in basketball terminology, and the signature high-energy rock sound of 10-FEET blends perfectly to heighten the film’s climax.

In December 2022, it was included on the album Collins and garnered major attention as the movie’s ending theme.

Symbolically portraying the doubts and traps players confront, the song vividly depicts the strength to overcome them and achieve one’s goals.

It’s a perfect addition to your playlist when you want to boost motivation during training or strengthen both mind and body.

Moechakka Fire / Issei: MUSIC VIDEO

A track by Issei that weaves synth sounds with an addictive melody, themed around a cool, detached maid-outfit character.

Released as a character song for the game Zenless Zone Zero, unveiled in July 2024, the piece channels modern people’s craving for approval and their sense of alienation from society, all over a bold, driving beat.

Its alluring low-register vocals—seemingly detached from the music video’s character—leave a strong impression.

How about belting it out at karaoke to express a different side of yourself?

Koji Tamaki “Rural Landscape” (HD)

The 11th single by Koji Tamaki, released in July 1996.

It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Coach,” peaked at No.

2 on the Oricon charts, and sold about 920,000 copies.

The song’s appeal lies in its warm message to people who are struggling yet striving to live, and its catchy melody that makes you want to hum along.

The vocal range is relatively narrow, so it should be singable regardless of voice type.

Although there are some slightly fast-paced parts, once you get into the rhythm, it should come naturally to sing!

TOKIO / “Lyric” | THE CONCER

A song that straightforwardly expresses pure feelings of love—so much so that even the most familiar scenery seems somehow beautiful.

This track was written, composed, and arranged entirely by Tomoya Nagase, and was released in February 2013 as TOKIO’s 46th single.

It was written as the theme song for the drama “Do Not Cry, Hara-chan,” resonating deeply with its world.

Later, it was voted No.

1 by fans for the best album “HEART,” showing how beloved it is by many.

If you sing its growing feelings for someone special with rich emotion at karaoke, it will surely warm the hearts of those who listen.
