Some teenage boys may be interested in Japanese music from a decade or two ago.

In particular, teens who follow the Japanese rock scene are probably digging into older bands.

That’s why I recommend Life Is Beautiful.

It’s the latest release from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, who were hugely active in the 2000s, and it has a refreshing, soft overall vibe.

While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, aside from a brief falsetto in the chorus, it’s actually quite limited.

The vocal line doesn’t require vibrato, so as long as you can control your pitch and hold long notes, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.

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.

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.

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.

AzaleaYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s hit number “Azalea.” Among Yonezu’s songs, this one features especially many low-register parts, making it a perfect choice for men with lower voices.

However, there is a section toward the end that uses falsetto.

A low voice doesn’t necessarily mean you’re bad at falsetto, but if that part is difficult to sing, it’s recommended to intentionally raise the key to make the falsetto easier to produce.

It’s a big hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

“Last Virgin” is also popular as a wedding song.

It’s a love ballad that sings of pure, straightforward love.

In the title, “last” means the final one, and “virgin” means the first.

In the song, it portrays a loved one as an irreplaceable, one-and-only presence.

It’s such a lovely turn of phrase that it seems perfect for creating a romantic mood.

The overall key is low, so even those who find high notes difficult should give it a try.

A perfect friendship song for going to karaoke with your friends is Aoi Haru.

It’s a track from RADWIMPS’ memorable first album, RADWIMPS.

With a fresh, rock-infused feel, its lyrics portray deep bonds and affection among friends.

Singing this song is sure to create a warm, easygoing mood.

Note that the first half of the song starts in English.

That said, the English parts are relatively few, so even those who aren’t confident in English should be able to sing it well.
