Karaoke songs recommended for men with low voices or who are good at singing in a low register

In recent years, Japan’s music scene has seen an increase in songs with lots of high notes, influenced by K-pop.

As a result, it’s become harder for men with lower voices to find songs that suit them.

So! We’ve selected recommended tracks specifically for men with deep voices.

We also considered how well these songs go over at karaoke, so if you’re planning to go with a group soon, be sure to check them out.

Recommended karaoke songs for men with low voices or who are good at singing in a low register (121–130)

InahoNo Buses

No Buses – Inaho (Official Video)
InahoNo Buses

No Buses, a band with a refined musical sensibility, is highly regarded by hardcore Japanese rock enthusiasts.

While they excel at alternative rock, garage rock, and indie rock, their new track Inaho puts indie rock front and center.

The vocal line—sung plainly in the midrange, a hallmark of indie rock—really stands out.

When performing it yourself, I recommend deliberately lowering the key to emphasize the depth and richness of your voice.

Friends' SongZUKA-RADERU

Zookaraderu “Tomodachi no Uta” (Official Music Video)
My Friend by Zucca-Del

Zutto popular in today’s Japanese rock scene, the band Zookaraderu has been drawing attention.

Rather than chasing trends, they stick to the kind of rock they want to make—a stance that’s earned high praise from hardcore fans.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Tomodachi no Uta.

While it’s not a track with particularly heavy low end, the vocal line has a masculine edge, making it perfect for showcasing the rich depth of a low male voice.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Mr.Children “1999, Summer, Okinawa” TOUR POPSAURUS 2012
Summer 1999, Okinawa Mr.Children

Many of Mr.

Children’s songs are set in relatively high keys, but this one begins in a spoken style and is sung in a generally lower key, making it comparatively easier to sing even for men with lower voices.

As it’s a song that looks back on the time Mr.

Children visited Okinawa during their 1999 tour, singing it in a lower voice may help the scenes come to life more vividly.

PerfumeEito

Perfume / Eito (Official Music Video)
Eito - Perfume

Eito’s first digital-only single, released in April 2019.

It’s such a hit that it hardly needs any explanation.

Eito’s voice leans toward a brighter, more treble-rich tone rather than the so-called deep, low-voiced “ikebo” vibe, but the song doesn’t use a very wide range.

Even if you’re better at low notes—or rather, not great with high notes—you should be able to sing it just fine by slightly adjusting the key.

Instead of choosing a key where the high notes feel easy, I think it sounds best if you pick a key where you can just barely reach the highest notes.

POISONTakashi Sorimachi

Maverick Teacher GTO Theme Song – POISON (Takashi Sorimachi)
POISON Sorimachi Takashi

Takashi Sorimachi’s fourth single, released in July 1998.

He’s known for his uniquely deep voice, but since he isn’t primarily a professional singer, the vocal approach you hear in this song often feels closer to how many people sing at karaoke.

In that sense, if low-voiced men who struggle with high notes choose this as practice material, there’s a lot they can learn and gain from it.

If you’ve avoided karaoke because you’re “not good with high notes,” I hope you’ll use this song as a starting point and experience the joy of singing!

FlowerZumi

Zumi – “Flower” [Official Music Video]
FlowerZumi

Zumi is an artist whose compositions are rooted in Black music like soul and funk, earning popularity among hardcore music aficionados.

Although he’s still relatively under the radar, critics are paying close attention to him as a rising artist to watch.

His new song “Flower” is characterized by a structure that showcases his distinctive low-register voice throughout.

While you need to be mindful of the groove, the vocal range is narrow and largely sits in the low to low-mid register, making it an excellent piece for highlighting the appeal of men with deeper voices.

Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN

Released in December 2004, this is Bump of Chicken’s eighth single.

Since vocalist Mr.

Fujiwara’s voice doesn’t leave a particularly “low-voiced” impression, some people might feel uneasy, but melodically it doesn’t go that high, so if you lower the key by about one semitone, most people should be able to handle the high notes without trouble.

Just be careful not to let it turn into a “heavy” performance, which would spoil the song—aim to sing as lightly as possible.

Achieving solid vocal production while keeping the delivery light does raise the difficulty in its own way, but we’ll save that explanation for another time.
