Easy-to-sing songs by Yuzu. A must-see for men with high voices!

Since their debut in 1997, Yuzu—the folk duo that has remained at the forefront of the J-POP scene—has continued to run strong.

From Natsuiro to Eikou no Kakehashi, they have created numerous well-known classics.

Their songs are also popular choices for karaoke, but many of them are quite high and difficult to sing for men with an average vocal range.

In this article, we’ll introduce relatively easy Yuzu songs to sing.

We’ve gathered tracks with fewer high notes, narrower vocal ranges, and simple, singable melodies—so please find the ones that feel comfortable for you to sing.

Yuzu songs that are easy to sing. A must-see for men with high voices! (1–10)

Love Song Dayyuzu

Koi no Kayoubi is Yuzu’s 13th single, released in 2002.

Yujin Kitagawa performs it dressed as a woman under the name “Junko Kitamikawa,” which made the CD jacket and music video a hot topic.

Incidentally, Koji Iwasawa appears as “Mucho Koiwasawa,” set as Junko Kitamikawa’s boyfriend.

As the title suggests, the song is crafted with classic kayōkyoku—Showa-era pop—in mind, and it seems like it would really get the crowd going when you go to karaoke with older folks.

Although it conveys a woman’s feelings and is sung in a female persona, the overall vocal range is narrow, making it easy to sing even for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes.

Many of Yuzu’s songs make you feel they require strong vocal ability, don’t they? But their song “Harukaze” is one I highly recommend for its exceptional singability.

This track about distant days of spring has a pleasant melody and gentle lyrics that slip easily into the listener’s heart.

Precisely because the lyrics are simple, there are moments that draw out even deeper emotions.

The song is also a collaboration with Taro Hakase, whose beautiful violin solo further elevates the piece.

Since it doesn’t demand many high notes, it’s easy to sing even for men with lower voices.

Yuzu’s “Tomodachi no Uta” is a popular number known for its moving melody and relatable lyrics.

Since it doesn’t have any exceptionally high vocal parts, it’s easy to sing for men who struggle with high notes, making it a song anyone can try.

Another hallmark of this track is its lyrics about youth and friendship—feelings that never fade no matter how old you get.

Set to a simple melodic line, the song’s charm lies in how the now slightly tired, grown-up self looks back on the happy days spent with friends.

It also has the quality of a pep song, offering encouragement to yourself or to a friend who’s feeling down.

“Ah, The Days of Youth” is a classic that sings of bittersweet memories of adolescence; anyone who hears it, from any generation, will find themselves recalling their own youth.

Its ease of singing has made it beloved across age groups, and because it has few high notes, it’s a great recommendation even for men who tend to avoid Yuzu’s songs for their high keys.

That said, the pitch changes are quite dramatic, so some practice may be necessary.

It also features a relaxed groove, making it a comfortable number to sing—perfect for moments when you want to revisit a piece of your youth, or for gatherings like class reunions.

The song “Hikare” features lyrics packed with strength and a positive message, along with a refreshing melody, giving it an irresistible appeal that makes you want to sing it at least once.

With straightforward words that encourage listeners and wrap them in comfort, this popular pop song is further elevated by its superb harmonies.

Known for its beautiful string arrangements as well, it would be incredibly cool if you could nail it at karaoke.

Why not find a harmony partner and give it some practice?

Released in 2013 and widely loved as a graduation song, “Tomodachi ~Tabidachi no Toki~” is also known for being chosen as the set piece for the 80th NHK All-Japan School Choir Competition and featured on NHK’s “Minna no Uta.” With few high notes and a simple melody that flows gently throughout, it’s one of Yuzu’s easier songs to sing.

The lyrics, which warmly celebrate friendship, are part of its charm.

It serves as a youth anthem for students setting off on new journeys, and a song that encourages those who have experienced graduation or parting, helping to clear everyday doubts and worries.

Yuzu “Shibireru” Official Lyric Video
Tingly Yuzu

This song was released digitally on July 30, 2025, and was written as a tie-in for Suntory’s bourbon whiskey Jim Beam.

It’s a characteristically Yuzu-style track: fresh and up-tempo.

It seems Yuzu themselves also appear in the web commercials.

In the backing band, the piano really stands out, and the drums and bass are easy to hear, making it easy to catch the rhythm.

In the chorus, there’s a leap from D4 to A4 on the syllable “ma.” The “ma” sound tends to be nasal and can be hard to project, so try to put about five times more intention into your voice than you think you need.

The key is to project your voice briskly as if aiming into the distance! If it comes out smoothly without catching, you’ve nailed it.

Be sure to hit those high notes there when you sing!
