When it comes to the most popular actor among Gen Z, wouldn’t Masaki Suda be the top pick? He’s also thriving as an artist and has dropped several hit tunes.

Among his many standout songs, the one I especially recommend for teenage boys is Sayonara Elegy.

This track features a style that combines folk and rock, reminiscent of Kazuyoshi Saito.

While it has intensity, the overall melody stays within a narrow vocal range.

There are few long notes and no sudden jumps in pitch, making it a perfect choice for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

Yuma, who is active as the “good singer” of the YouTuber group Comdot, has a track called Jingle that my students often sang when their throats weren’t in great shape because it’s “easy to sing,” so I think it’s in a range that’s easy for others too.

Jingle’s vocal range is B2 to D#4, staying mostly in the low to mid range.

Of course, it builds from verse A to verse B to the chorus, but unlike other songs, the range doesn’t change much, so it might be easier to keep pitch.

It’s a perfect song for winter, so start practicing it now!

In 2024, Marcy achieved a milestone by performing at the sacred Nippon Budokan, cementing their status as one of Japan’s leading young bands.

Their lyrics, which capture delicate emotional shifts that resonate with many in the younger generation, and their poignant, melodically sung masterpieces are also very popular at karaoke.

That said, the melodies sung by Ukyo Yoshida’s high-tone voice can seem difficult… For those who feel that way, we recommend Freesia, set for release in April 2025.

Its vocal range is relatively narrow, and it doesn’t require extremely high notes, making it approachable even for singers with lower voices.

Try singing it with enough conviction to fully convey the protagonist’s feelings, and deliver it with emotion.

Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.

In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.

That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.

The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.

In conclusion

If you're a teenager who often watches short videos, you might only know the chorus of a song. Some of you may have heard the verse or pre-chorus of the songs introduced in this article for the first time. It's also recommended to choose songs with relatively little melodic variation, or songs that sit in a vocal range you're comfortable with—whether low or high. Learn tracks by artists who are popular with women too, and liven up karaoke when you go with friends or your partner!
