You can keep liking me.Strawberry Prince
“Sukide Ite Kurete Ii yo,” included on the album Strawberry Next! produced by the internet-based entertainment group Strawberry Prince (SutoPuri) in 2020.
It’s a colorful pop song written and composed by Vocaloid producer DECO*27.
Each SutoPuri member sings within their own vocal range, so try finding the version that matches your range.
The bright, catchy melody is truly moving.
Why not show off this charming, cute song at karaoke?
Love will winKAN
This is KAN’s eighth single overall, released in September 1990.
It was a major hit, being featured as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Quiz Omoshiro TV” and as an insert song on Fuji TV’s “Hocchan’s Yamada Katsutenai TV.” The tempo and rhythm make it very easy to sing, and the vocal melody doesn’t span a wide range, so I think many men will be able to sing it in the original key.
Basically, feel the steady four-on-the-floor beat, and be careful not to let the singing become monotonous as you enjoy it.
Straight Up feat. JESSEDragon Ash
Dragon Ash is a band that was hugely active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
They had a major impact on hip-hop in the mainstream scene and still enjoy a strong following today.
The track where Dragon Ash collaborates with JESSE—known as the vocalist of RIZE and The BONEZ—is Straight Up feat.
JESSE.
Since the song is crafted as a Western-style rock track with a lot of English, it might feel challenging.
However, the actual vocal line has a narrow range and is quite simple, so the vocal difficulty is surprisingly low.
While you do need to sing with a somewhat loud, powerful delivery, most male singers should be able to perform it without changing the key.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
It’s a biting yet high-class number that you’ll get hooked on after a single listen! The song is by SEKAI NO OWARI, the band known for hits like “RPG” and “RAIN,” and it was released as a single in 2022.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “HOLiC xxxHOLiC.” Featuring sharp, thorny lyrics, it’s highly relatable—almost as if it speaks the honest truths we can’t easily say out loud.
The melody incorporates hip-hop elements, with a lot of words but a relatively low pitch.
Future is YoursSambomaster
This is Sambomaster’s 23rd single, released in August 2023.
It was selected as the theme song for the animated film “New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE: Super-Powered Showdown — Fly, Fly, Hand-Rolled Sushi.” It’s a straightforward rock song that’s quintessentially Sambomaster—just listening to it puts you in a great mood! You don’t need any complicated pointers to sing this at karaoke! Just have a blast with the sheer act of singing and letting your voice out.
It’s not a track that showcases a low ‘ikebo’ voice, but there aren’t any extreme high notes either, so even those who struggle with high registers can still sing and enjoy it.
If you try aiming your voice toward your upper palate as you sing, your mid-to-high notes should gain more resonance and presence—give it a shot if you like.
Love and MasterpieceKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band from Osaka that has gained popularity with a wide-ranging sound rooted in pop rock.
They’ve produced many great songs, but among their tracks, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing without changing the key is Love and Masterpiece.
It’s a sharp, energetic rock tune, yet the vocal lines are set relatively low overall.
The rhythm might be a bit tricky to catch, but in terms of pitch, most male singers shouldn’t have any trouble.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Ai to waRADWIMPS
“What is love, really…?” This is a message song that makes you ponder just that.
Created by the rock band RADWIMPS—also known for hits like “Zenzenzense” and “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?”—it was released in 2015.
The song reflects on those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and every voice, sound, and word resonates deeply in the heart.
If you sing it while thinking of someone precious to you, it may strike you even more.
Please, pour your whole heart into it.
