For men with low voices: Songs that tend to score well at karaoke
In recent years, Japanese pop music has been influenced by K-pop and Western music, leading to a much more extreme up-and-down in melodies compared to the past.
It’s now completely normal for a song to stay in a low range and then suddenly jump into a sharp falsetto.
Because of that, it’s become harder than before to score high in karaoke.
People with lower voices in particular may feel this trend even more strongly.

[For Men with Low Voices] Karaoke Songs That Score Easily (1–10)
to wish; to hopesmall gift
The popular comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo.
The straight man, Soshina, is active in many areas—solo routines, YouTube, and more—and he’s also been making a big impact as an artist.
Among Soshina’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Kogu.
It has a strong punk rock flavor and a rough edge, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and there aren’t any lines that require complex pitch movements.
It’s particularly recommended for men with low voices, especially those with a gravelly vocal quality.
innocent feelingLET ME KNOW
LET ME KNOW is a band gaining popularity for their nostalgic, synth-pop-centered sound.
Their polished musicality has also been making waves in the Korean rock scene.
Among their songs, the one especially recommended for men with lower voices is Hatsu na feeling.
Although the vocalist, Matty, has a somewhat husky and slightly higher voice, this track has a relatively narrow vocal range, and its melody features long tones with few abrupt pitch jumps.
As a result, it’s arranged in a way that’s easy to sing even for men with lower voices.
bergamotSora Tomonari
Sora Tomonari’s new song “Bergamot.” When it comes to Sora Tomonari, their vocals are known for focusing on the lower register, but this track is centered around the low-mid to mid range.
Falsetto appears in the chorus, but since it tends to use falsetto for notes that could be sung in chest voice, even men with lower voices can handle it without issue.
The occasional low-register parts are the biggest highlight, so aim for a rich, full vocal tone there.

monologueMotohiro Hata × Naoki Matayoshi
The collaborative work ‘Hitorigoto’ by Naoki Matayoshi—an Akutagawa Prize–winning author and comedian—and singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata.
With lyrics by Naoki Matayoshi and music by Motohiro Hata, the piece is distinguished by a profound worldview uncommon in typical Japanese pop music.
The melody is rendered with a very delicate touch, kept at a slow tempo and within a relatively narrow vocal range.
The pitch movements are also gentle, making it easy even for men with lower voices to sing.
Be sure to sing it with feeling.
Eine KleineKenshi Yonezu
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.
The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.
If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.
Give them a try, everyone!
fireworks (launched into the sky)Kenshi Yonezu
Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.
In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.
If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.
To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.
Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.
Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.
Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!
Lights Out feat. Jeremy QuartusNulbarich
Nulbarich is a band that’s garnered popularity among hardcore music enthusiasts with their sophisticated tracks.
Their hallmark is a moody sound that incorporates Black music rooted in R&B and neo-soul, and “Lights Out feat.
Jeremy Quartus” is a song that truly embodies the essence of Nulbarich.
With its slow tempo and vocals delivered consistently in the mid-to-low and low ranges, it’s perfect for expressing the depth and richness of a low male voice.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
