Karaoke songs recommended for college students that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf

When it comes to college students, drinking parties and karaoke for the after-party are classics for having fun.

However, many of the songs popular in Japan nowadays are heavily influenced by K-pop and R&B, which makes them difficult to sing.

We also explain vocal techniques, so this is recommended for those who struggle with their voice.

In addition to timeless classics, we introduce the latest tracks as well, so be sure to read through to the end and use this as a thorough reference!

Karaoke Songs Recommended for College Students That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (21–30)

Suzume feat. ToakaRADWIMPS

The song “Suzume feat.

Toaka,” released as the theme for the film Suzume, is a grand and beautiful piece that emphasizes its worldbuilding.

Even in 2023, it continues to enjoy enduring popularity, and the key point of this track is, above all, the pitch.

Compared to typical pop music, the arrangement is extremely restrained.

As a result, even slight pitch deviations can ruin it.

However, since techniques like vibrato or ad-libs aren’t used, you could say the difficulty of the vocal line itself is relatively low.

Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanSaori Hayami

The song “Kawaikute Gomen feat.

Chuutan,” which has been getting attention for being “calculatedly cute,” is one you hear almost daily on YouTube and TikTok.

It’s very easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf, as it’s composed with a relatively narrow vocal range.

If anything, the “chu” part is the tricky bit.

That’s the highest note, but it’s better to sing it with playful, over-the-top charm and passion rather than worrying about pitch.

It’s a song that gets big reactions—for better or worse—so if you’re a female college student, definitely practice it and try it at karaoke.

Rappers Inman and Mukade are making big waves in the MC battle scene.

If you like battles, you definitely know these artists.

Their track “Kimi no Mama (Prod.

thekontrabandz)” is their new song, and it became a huge hit in 2023.

Musically, it’s classic hip-hop that paints a picture of youth, with a soft, wistful vibe throughout.

As for the rap flow, it’s not particularly complex, so even those who aren’t good at firing off fast, tightly rhymed lines should find it easy to perform.

YOASOBI is a duo that has gained popularity for their electro-pop-centered sound—a unit every college student is familiar with.

Their new song, Seventeen, is a fresh release from them.

Unlike their usual style, this track has a gothic atmosphere.

The overall tone leans more toward Vocaloid, but it’s not as complex as typical Vocaloid songs, so even college students who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

If you can’t produce a clear, pure tone, be careful not to get overly influenced by Ikuta Lila’s voice.

OverdoseNatori

Overdose, Nat(s)ori’s signature song with an impressive languid vibe.

The piece maintains a downer mood throughout, so the high parts are intentionally kept restrained.

Falsetto does appear, but it’s not used because the notes are high; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice.

So if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, singing those parts in chest voice is totally fine.

Whispery vocals sound cool on this track, but overdoing it can come off as narcissistic, so keep that in mind when you sing (lol).

The Japanese idol group Atarashii Gakko! is gaining attention worldwide.

Their music, which incorporates elements of Japanese kayōkyoku, and their unique personalities have made them popular.

Otona Blue is one of their signature songs.

As a piece that consciously adopts an old-fashioned style, the lyrics aren’t densely packed and the overall range sits low, making it very easy to sing for both men and women.

It’s also a style that lends itself well to vibrato, so it’s recommended as a practice piece for those working on their vibrato.

The music duo Yorushika, known for their ennui-tinged melodies and profound messages, continues to attract a wide following.

With a sound that vividly evokes their unique world, they consistently release hit tracks.

Algernon is their latest song.

As with their other works, Yorushika’s vocals never resort to belting, and this track likewise maintains a calm, subdued tone.

Some listeners might find it a touch high, but since the composition doesn’t demand a wide vocal range, it should be very easy to sing as long as it suits your key.
