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

IfRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS If ‘Limited to 10,000 Copies’ (High-Quality Audio) 1

RADWIMPS’ first single, released in May 2003.

Rather than being a song that showcases the appeal of a deep, bassy voice, it gives the impression of being easy to sing even if you’re not good with high notes.

It’s a so-called beat-punk style track, and if you sing parts like the A melody with a powerful low register, I think it will sound even better.

The highest note that appears in the chorus isn’t that high either, so it’s a song that should be easy to sing for those who struggle with high tones.

rutKobukuro

Kobukuro “Wadachi — Ruts —”

It’s a motivational song that lifts you up when you’re troubled or feeling down.

Released in 2001 as the second single by the musical duo Kobukuro, it’s irresistibly catchy with its light rhythm and satisfying chorus.

The chorus itself doesn’t require excessively high notes, so it’s a great pick.

Since it’s a fast-paced track, be sure to keep a steady tempo and pay attention to your articulation.

threadMiyuki Nakajima

[Masaki Suda & Nana Komatsu] Film “Ito” Music Video (Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito” Full Version)

This is Miyuki Nakajima’s 35th single, released in February 1998.

Although it’s a female-vocal song, the original is sung with Nakajima’s rich, solid voice, and there aren’t many high notes throughout the piece, so I think it would still sound good when sung by a man with a low voice.

Since it’s a female-vocal track, men will likely sing it an octave lower at karaoke; if the notes around the lowest range feel tough, try raising the key by about +2.

Sailing DayBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN「sailing day」

BUMP OF CHICKEN’s fifth single, released in March 2003.

I know it’s a bit ironic to say this after introducing it under the theme “recommended for men with low voices,” but while the original is indeed sung with a relatively husky tone, the vocal range actually dips quite low at times (lol).

That said, it’s not like you need effortlessly soaring high notes; as long as you can push out some earnest-sounding highs, you should be fine—so there’s no need to be too intimidated.

However, if you don’t have proper vocal technique yet, belting or forcing the high notes too much can damage your throat, so please be careful about that.

If you ever feel like “this might be risky,” try lowering the key and give it a go.

It's love.V6

FNS V6 'Ainanda'

It was released in 1997 as V6’s fifth single.

Despite being their first single without a tie-in, it reached No.

1 on the Oricon Singles Chart in its release week.

The song also drew attention for being composed by Koji Tamaki.

It’s a bright and fun track that showcases V6’s close-knit vibe, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

Bon-giri Love SongSouthern All Stars

Southern All Stars – Bon-giri Love Song [Official Music Video]

It’s Southern All Stars’ fourth digital-only single, released in July 2023.

The track has an exotic feel that makes you think, “This is exactly Southern!” and it really lets you feel how their signature style has reached a mature peak.

Within this refined sound, you can fully enjoy Kuwata’s trademark vocal style in its seasoned form.

That rich, low-register singing from Kuwata is practically a special privilege for those who are good at low notes when it comes to karaoke! By all means, have fun doing your best Kuwata impression!

For loveTamio Okuda

For Love (Okuda Tamio cover) by HMB

It’s “Ai no Tame ni” by Tamio Okuda, released in 1994.

The song is characterized by Okuda’s low, masculine vocals, making it an easy karaoke choice for men with deeper voices.

It’s a cool track that conveys the composure and strength of a grown man.

It’s a popular song that can be sung by everyone from the young to adults.
