I can't learn to like myself.Sakurazaka46
Keyakizaka46, a Sakamichi idol group popular for their stylish musicality.
Among the Sakamichi groups, they’re known for having difficult songs, but there are some that are easy to sing.
The one I recommend is “I Can’t Learn to Love Myself.” This track features a very catchy vocal line and doesn’t require a particularly wide range.
With many melodies that lean slightly toward a Showa-era style, it should be manageable even for those who tend to go off pitch.
Give it a listen.
Nostalgia for Home, JongaraTakashi Hosokawa
It’s a masterpiece that resonates with the chill of winter and a longing for one’s hometown.
The lyrics are steeped in the atmosphere of the Tsugaru region, featuring dialect and the Jonkara-bushi style.
Takashi Hosokawa’s powerful vocals seem to speak for everyone who yearns for home.
Released in August 1985, the song won the Gold Award at the 27th Japan Record Awards and has been performed many times on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Listening while imagining snowy landscapes and the sound of the Tsugaru-shamisen deepens the nostalgia even more.
It’s a song that serves as a source of comfort for those living away from their hometown.
A solitary homeward journeyYuko Kita
A song by Yuko Kita themed around homesickness.
It was released as a digital single in November 2024.
Set in the northern lands, its lyrics depicting a solitary journey resonate deeply.
The nostalgic melody and her emotionally rich vocals are sure to leave a lasting impression.
The coupling track, “Kita no Koiakari” (Northern Love Lights), is also included, unfolding a romantic story set in Hakodate.
Yuko Kita, a native of Minakami in Gunma Prefecture, held a 10th anniversary charity concert in 2022.
This work will offer comfort to those who have left their hometowns or carry loneliness in their hearts.
My favorite thingsComedian Shinchii for seeing people off
This is a song by comedian Shinichi (Omiokuri Geinin Shinichi), released as a digital single in October 2021.
The released track gently sings about the beauty of familiar nature—like flowers blooming through asphalt and rainbows after the rain.
However, it originally started as a comedic skit song.
The object of “love” keeps shifting to increasingly odd things, making listeners laugh.
There are many different “I like…” variations, so be sure to check it out.
my true selfYuika
When we think of easy songs, they tend to end up being centered around the mid to low range.
But sometimes you want to sing something a bit higher, right? That’s why I recommend Bokurashisa.
It’s Yuika’s new song, and it features falsetto right from the beginning.
That said, the falsetto sits very close to chest voice and is easy to produce, so anyone can sing it without trouble.
Overall it has a high-ish feel, but it doesn’t actually require a wide vocal range, so you’ll probably find it surprisingly easy to get through.
voiceCLOUD
CLOUD’s song, which delicately portrays feelings that never quite reach their destination, is sure to resonate with people in their thirties.
It carefully expresses the small gaps in everyday life and the difficulty of communication, singing about the subtle emotions in human relationships.
Released in June 2000 and used as a TV anime opening theme, the track reached No.
50 on the Oricon chart.
If you sing it at karaoke, we recommend reminiscing with friends and soaking in the bittersweet sentiment of your youth.
Along with the nostalgia, it may also prompt you to reflect on who you are now.
Boys say helloSohbana
A hardcore Vocaloid track that vents frustration at society and oneself.
Composed by Sohbana, the original was released in 2021; this is the Kasane Teto version unveiled in November 2024.
A self that can’t take flight, the gap between ideals and reality, the loss of innocence that comes with growing up—these quintessentially youthful feelings are conveyed over a punchy sound.
Many teens, in particular, will probably find it relatable.
