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 Well (21–30)
SakurazakaMasaharu Fukuyama
Masaharu Fukuyama is undoubtedly one of Japan’s most iconic figures, both as a singer-songwriter and as an actor.
It’s truly remarkable that he has continued to release hit songs from the 1990s through the Reiwa era.
While each generation likely has its own “Fukuyama songs,” Sakura-zaka, released in 2000, is a quintessential Heisei-era classic that achieved a record-breaking double million in sales.
Some may find ballads challenging, but the simply crafted melody line makes it easy to sing, and the relatively low key makes it approachable for those with lower voices.
If you carefully follow the scale, you can definitely aim for a high karaoke score; at the same time, the song’s charm lies in its lower register, so if you’re not confident with low melodies, this is a great piece to practice with.
Unrequited loveSUPER BEAVER
SUPER BEAVER is a four-piece rock band that has been active since the 2000s—a renowned name any Japanese rock fan will know.
Recently, with the release of their new song “Kataomoi” (Unrequited Love), they’ve once again drawn national attention.
This track, which sparked their renewed breakout, features an emotional melody that blends orthodox J-pop with a touch of rock.
The vocals sit mostly in the low-to-mid range throughout, but near the end of the chorus there’s a high, belted shout delivered in chest voice.
Aside from that section, it’s very singable overall, so if you’re good at shouting, consider adding it to your repertoire.

pure whiteFujii Kaze
Fujii Kaze’s new song “Masshiro.” Fujii Kaze is known for chic, R&B-centered sounds, but this work comes together with a different vibe than usual.
It features a strong acoustic character, and the vocal lines are arranged to be calm and even, akin to dream pop.
As a result, the range is low, and there’s no appearance of complex melodic rises and falls such as vocal runs.
For a Fujii Kaze track, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this is among the easiest to sing.
peanut butterShota Araya
Shota Araya is a singer-songwriter whose originality-rich musical style—mixing Black music with contemporary J-POP—has earned him widespread popularity.
While he drew attention as the former vocalist of a popular band, his activities have prioritized music over popularity, and he has produced several notable songs.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for men with lower voices is Peanut Butter.
Although it has an R&B vibe, the vocal line is fairly steady and understated, and the song is arranged throughout in the low to low-mid range.
I want to love you super muchbedhead
Neguse is a four-piece rock band with an emo sound that’s popular among young people—if you’re a teen guy who follows Japanese rock, you’ve probably heard of them.
Their track “Super Aishitai” is one of their signature songs, characterized by a soft, youth-evoking tone.
While it’s fairly bright and features a distinctly rock-like riff that bursts through, the vocal line is surprisingly calm and the range is quite compact.
Even teenage boys who find it hard to sing due to voice changes can handle it comfortably, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
After-school[Alexandros]
![After School [Alexandros]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Isx_i--7DJg/sddefault.jpg)
[Alexandros] is a band that has produced numerous classic songs.
Even those not well-versed in Japanese rock have probably heard their music at least once.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “After School.” While it has the essence of J-rock, it strongly incorporates elements of overseas alternative rock throughout, featuring a refreshing and composed vocal line.
It’s a notably understated piece: the vocals have minimal ups and downs and a relatively narrow range, making it an ideal song for aiming at a perfect score.
countrysideKoji Tamaki
For those now in their 40s who spent their youth in the 1990s, many probably think of Koji Tamaki more as an actor or solo singer than as a member of Anzen Chitai.
In particular, Den-en, released in 1996 as a solo single by Tamaki, was a massive hit that went double platinum and was frequently sung at karaoke back then.
Tamaki is a singer so highly regarded for his overwhelming vocal ability that he’s respected by fellow professionals, but Den-en is composed with a very singable melody and sits in a relatively low key overall, making it a song that can score high at karaoke regardless of vocal timbre.
The only caveat is that some parts are a bit fast-paced, so it’s a good idea to memorize the lyrics thoroughly and practice until you can sing it smoothly.
