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 and those good at singing in the lower register (231–240)

Voice of the SeaUrashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani)

The Voice of the Sea Urashima Taro (Kenta Kiritani)

An original song created as the commercial jingle for the au Garaho “Voice of the Sea” CM, in which Urashima Taro (Ura-chan), played by Kenta Kiritani in the au Santaro series, sings.

The vocal melody in unison with the sanshin is particularly striking.

Kiritani’s singing sounds a bit like he’s belting from the throat, but since he’s not a professional singer, that’s understandable.

The upside is that it’s become a very singable song for men with low voices who aren’t used to singing regularly.

If you don’t try too hard to sound cool and sing it plainly, it should come out nicely.

Catharsis (feat. WONK)Shingo Katori

A song by Shingo Katori included on the album “Tokyo SNG,” released on April 13, 2022.

It features a stylish arrangement with a funky rhythm.

The vocal melody itself doesn’t span a very wide range, so even those with lower voices or a more limited range should be able to sing it without strain.

If the rhythm of your singing becomes flat, it could spoil the song’s vibe, so be sure to listen closely to the backing track/karaoke and keep in the groove as you sing.

Island SongTHE BOOM

Shima Uta THE BOOM

A band from Okinawa, THE BOOM had a hit song whose original version was included on their album “Shishunki,” released in January 1992.

It later became a huge hit after being featured in commercials and other media, and many different versions have been made.

Now, if you’re singing this song at karaoke: it’s true that the A-melody calls for a low, “ikébo”-style voice that makes use of rich lower tones, but the chorus and other sections use a higher range.

So unless you can handle some high notes, it might be a bit difficult to sing in the original key.

That said, to deliver a convincing performance—especially in the A-melody—you really need an appealing low register.

If you’re confident in your low voice, definitely give it a try!

Eight Beat The Cro-Magnons

The fourth single by the Japanese rock band The Cro-Magnons, released on May 21, 2008.

It’s an upbeat, catchy punk rock number, and you don’t need any nitpicky reasoning to sing this song! The vocal part is crafted to make the singer Hiroto Kōmoto’s rich, low voice sound as appealing as possible—truly a track for low-voiced guys… for low-voiced rock guys!! Don’t sweat the small stuff—just enjoy “singing” and “letting your voice out” to the fullest!

This was Yutaka Mizutani’s fifth single overall, released on April 21, 1979.

It was produced as the theme song for the popular drama “Netchū Jidai: Keiji-hen,” in which Mizutani starred.

Since it was such a hit show, I imagine quite a few people who are now in their late 40s, as of when this piece was written in 2022, were glued to their TVs watching it back then.

Listening to the song again now, I’m struck by how Mizutani’s vocals showcase an attractive low register while never feeling heavy—he keeps it light and breezy.

If you sing this at karaoke, try to preserve that buoyant, nonchalant vibe as you perform it!

Be cool !wild monkey

It was released in 1999 as Yaen’s fourth single.

The song was used as the theme for the TV program “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Deshita,” reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and, thanks to its success, led to Yaen’s first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

So Masaharu Fukuyama was in Tokyo too?

“Tokyo Nimo Attanda” depicts someone who came to Tokyo with a dream, gazing at the beautiful scenery they found there while thinking of a loved one back home.

Released in 2007 as a double A-side single together with “Muteki no Kimi,” the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” Although the chorus includes a section with a slightly higher key, the song overall showcases the appeal of a low voice, making it recommended for those with a lower vocal range.

Its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody also make it accessible for people who aren’t used to singing.
