In recent years, amid the biggest boy-group boom in Japanese history, there’s been a surge of highly challenging dance music unlike what we’ve seen in J-pop before.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a selection of easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs specifically for teenage boys with lower voices!

We’ve focused on crowd-pleasers that go over well at karaoke, so be sure to check them out to the end.

REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION

REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION is a rock band that continues to attract fans with their sharp sound.

They’re a mid-career rock band, but since they’re still active on the front lines, many teenage boys are probably familiar with them.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is REACHING FOR THE SKY.

Although it features an exhilarating melody, it surprisingly has a narrow vocal range; aside from the sustained long note at the end of the chorus, there aren’t even any mid-to-high notes.

The vocal line works fine even when sung roughly, making it a perfect pick for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.

A bouquet for the boring days — LUCKY TAPES

Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.

In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.

That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.

The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.

Monologue - Motohiro Hata × Naoki Matayoshi

The work “Hitorigoto,” a collaboration between popular singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata and Naoki Matayoshi, winner of the Akutagawa Prize.

In this piece, the lyrics are by Naoki Matayoshi and the melody is by Motohiro Hata, offering the appeal of delicately gentle melodies paired with profoundly literary expression rarely seen in mainstream Japanese pop.

Throughout, the vocal line is simply structured, with no abrupt jumps in pitch.

In addition, the overall range is on the narrower side, making it a very easy song to sing for teenage boys with lower voices.

Fireworks (Uchiage Hanabi) 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!

Nulbarich is a band that has gained popularity for its stylish musicality.

The band name is pronounced “Narubaricchi” (Nulbarich).

Their signature sound incorporates elements of Black music such as neo-soul and R&B, and they consistently release sophisticated, slightly ennui-tinged tracks.

Among Nulbarich’s songs, a particularly recommended one is “Lights Out feat.

Jeremy Quartus.” It’s a neo-soul number with strong jazz and hip-hop flavors, sung within a narrow vocal range throughout.

Because the vocal line’s dynamics are very gentle, even teenage boys whose voices tend to be unstable should be able to sing it without trouble.

Bergamot Tomonari Sora

Singer-songwriter Sora Tomonari, who has enjoyed outstanding popularity since his teens.

His hallmark is a relaxed, unforced vocal style, so I think many low-voiced teenage boys keep his songs in their repertoire.

His new release, “Bergamot,” is a very singable piece centered in the low-to-mid range.

There’s a falsetto part in the chorus, but the phrase is low enough to be sung comfortably in chest voice, so it shouldn’t pose a challenge.

It also goes over well at karaoke, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Zutomayo? Correction: The three-piece rock band ZOOKARADERU is currently drawing major attention in the Japanese rock scene.

While many Japanese rock bands are leaning toward K-pop-like styles, they remain committed to classic Japanese rock.

Their moving masterpiece here is Tomodachi no Uta (Song of Friends).

It features a slow tempo with lyrics and a vocal line that tug at the heart.

While the range isn’t exactly narrow, there’s no falsetto and no need to sustain long notes in the high register, making it a great recommendation for teenage males with lower voices.
