Recommended karaoke songs for men in their 20s that are easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf (71–80)

Rhyme Wave Phrase DisciplesCHEHON

The classic song “Inbaku-to” has been loved for many years.

It’s a signature work by reggae deejay CHEHON, and when it was released, it became an explosive hit in Osaka, the holy land of Japanese reggae.

Nowadays, with CHEHON active in the MC battle scene, it’s also gaining support from younger generations.

Although the track has a pleasant flow, it doesn’t feature particularly difficult phrases.

The vocal range is very narrow, so most men should be able to sing it without trouble.

Nulbarich is a band that has gained popularity for its stylish musicality.

The band name is pronounced “Narubaricchi” (Nulbarich).

Their signature sound incorporates elements of Black music such as neo-soul and R&B, and they consistently release sophisticated, slightly ennui-tinged tracks.

Among Nulbarich’s songs, a particularly recommended one is “Lights Out feat.

Jeremy Quartus.” It’s a neo-soul number with strong jazz and hip-hop flavors, sung within a narrow vocal range throughout.

Because the vocal line’s dynamics are very gentle, even teenage boys whose voices tend to be unstable should be able to sing it without trouble.

The unit Peterparker69, formed by Y ohtrixpointnever and Jeter.

Their track “Hey phone,” which drew attention for featuring Yojiro Noda alongside two of the hottest electropop artists in Japan’s dance music scene, is this one.

While the song is rooted in electropop, the vocal line is understated, settling into a simple melody with a narrow range and little variation overall.

Since most of it is sung in the low to low-mid range, it should be easy to sing even during voice change.

Rin-ne is a rapper who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.

He’s not what you’d call a hardcore underground rapper; he’s an overground artist who often sings about love, and his pop sensibilities have made him especially popular among teenage girls.

His classic track “Koi ga Owareba” (When Love Ends) is captivating for its lyrics that portray the bittersweet side of romance and its delicate vocal lines.

Because the rap is mellow, melody plays a strong role, but all parts sit low and there aren’t any drastic pitch jumps, so teenage boys with lower voices should be able to handle it without trouble.

It’s also a big hit with girls, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Zutomayo? Correction: The three-piece rock band ZOOKARADERU is currently drawing major attention in the Japanese rock scene.

While many Japanese rock bands are leaning toward K-pop-like styles, they remain committed to classic Japanese rock.

Their moving masterpiece here is Tomodachi no Uta (Song of Friends).

It features a slow tempo with lyrics and a vocal line that tug at the heart.

While the range isn’t exactly narrow, there’s no falsetto and no need to sustain long notes in the high register, making it a great recommendation for teenage males with lower voices.

The work “Hitorigoto,” a collaboration between popular singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata and Naoki Matayoshi, winner of the Akutagawa Prize.

In this piece, the lyrics are by Naoki Matayoshi and the melody is by Motohiro Hata, offering the appeal of delicately gentle melodies paired with profoundly literary expression rarely seen in mainstream Japanese pop.

Throughout, the vocal line is simply structured, with no abrupt jumps in pitch.

In addition, the overall range is on the narrower side, making it a very easy song to sing for teenage boys with lower voices.

turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI

This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th major-label single, released in April 2023.

It was chosen as the theme song for Kirin’s “Hyoketsu.” Fukase, the vocalist of SEKAI NO OWARI, is a singer known for his boyish, high voice, so some listeners might recoil at first and think, “There’s no way I can sing something this high!” However, if you listen closely, you’ll find that the vocal melody doesn’t actually span a very wide range.

So please set aside any preconceptions and give it a try—you’ll likely find you can sing it quite casually, almost like humming along.

If you place the sound in your mouth as if you’re directing it toward the upper palate, you’ll enhance the higher overtones in your voice, bringing it closer to the feel of the original track.

Give it a try!
