J.O.K.E.R.MAZZEL
MAZZEL is one of the groups supporting Japan’s current boy group boom.
Among their works—renowned for performances that rival K-pop—my top recommendation is J.
O.
K.
E.
R.
The chorus features falsetto throughout.
It’s not just about hitting high notes; the rapid, repeated switches between chest voice and falsetto make it exceptionally challenging.
Breath control is also crucial, so if you can sing this song with ease, your vocal ability is at a professional level.
GOD_iNumber_i
Number_i is a dance-vocal group supported by women across a wide range of ages.
Their sophisticated dance performances and hip-hop-centered sound are striking.
From their tracks, the one I especially recommend for men with lower voices is GOD_i.
It’s a hip-hop-focused piece, and the hook features very low vocals.
While the rap itself is slightly on the challenging side, the vocal range makes it relatively easy to perform—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Song of Greensmall gift
In addition to his work as a comedian, Soshina is also active as a YouTuber and an artist.
He releases music consistently and has a few hits to his name.
Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend is Midori no Uta (The Green Song).
It’s a punk rock-based track sung entirely in a gravelly voice.
Despite its intensity, it actually has a fairly narrow vocal range, with most of the singing in the low to low-mid register.
It’s an ideal song for showcasing the richness of a man with a low voice.
ultra soulB’z
This is a hard rock number by B’z that powerfully expresses a soul’s cry to keep pushing the limits.
The lyrics, which portray facing oneself and chasing dreams, brilliantly capture the doubts and inner struggles we all encounter at life’s crossroads.
Takahiro Matsumoto’s dynamic guitar and Koshi Inaba’s soaring vocals blend perfectly, injecting a strong surge of energy into the listener’s heart.
Released in March 2001, it was chosen as the official theme song for the FINA World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka that same year.
Also included on the album “GREEN” and performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, this track gives a boost to anyone striving in their work or life.
It’s the perfect cheer song to belt out with close friends when you get together.
TSUNAMISouthern All Stars
Known as a masterpiece that likens the pain of heartbreak to a tsunami, this work is a moving love song celebrated as one of Southern All Stars’ signature pieces.
It’s a gem of a ballad that expresses the sorrow of losing someone dear through a grand melody, fully showcasing Keisuke Kuwata’s exceptional songwriting and composing talent.
Released in January 2000, it topped the Oricon weekly charts and won the Japan Record Award the same year.
It was also selected as the theme song for the popular segment “Mirai Nikki III” on the TV program “U-nan no Hontoko!,” becoming a classic beloved across generations.
As a heartwarming song that offers comfort to those carrying the pain of losing someone special, it’s also highly recommended for karaoke.
LimelightDeNeel
Born in Osaka, DeNeel is a captivating band that pioneered their own genre, “OSAKA REVIVAL POP,” elevating elements of classic kayōkyoku into a contemporary sound.
Since forming in 2017, they’ve built a distinctive world with R&B-like grooves, distorted guitar textures, and glossy vocals.
In 2019, they moved their base of operations to Tokyo and have steadily grown their fanbase, with over 380,000 views on their songs on YouTube.
In July 2023, they provided theme songs for anime and films, increasing their media presence.
Each member brings a diverse musical background, creating a neo-kayōkyoku sound.
Blending nostalgia and freshness, their music is a record that can be enjoyed across generations.
Yes, with pleasure.Kent on this side
This Kento is a multi-creator from Minoh, Osaka Prefecture, who stands out as an artist with a distinctive personality and a signature pair of green glasses.
In college, he won the national a cappella competition twice, and later began performing on YouTube as a one-man a cappella singer.
He made his artist debut in August 2022 and has been gaining attention for songs brimming with a unique worldview and strong messages.
In December 2024, he won the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist and made his first appearance on the NHK New Year’s Eve music show, Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Drawing on his own experiences, his lyrics and expressive performances deliver music that resonates with the heart.
