Top 10 karaoke songs that are easy to sing for tone-deaf beginners, recommended for college students
Please forget it.Yorushika
Yorushika’s masterpiece “Please Forget.” Yorushika excels at an ennui-tinged musical style, and this piece, in particular, is wrapped in an especially languid atmosphere.
The track makes effective use of contrasts between stillness and motion, and the overall composition settles into a quiet melody.
The vocal line is very calm as well, with a narrow range and plenty of rests, so there’s no need to worry about breathing.
As long as you keep a steady rhythm, it’s possible to aim for a high score, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Cosmic TreatPerfume
Perfume is a dance-vocal unit that has been active for many years.
Since they are still performing on the front lines, I imagine many university students have been exposed to their music.
Among Perfume’s works, the one I particularly recommend is “Cosmic Treat.” This piece is composed in the synthwave style that was trendy in the 1980s—a genre that emphasizes overall groove over vocals.
As a result, the vocal lines are notably calm.
Because there aren’t complex pitch jumps, it’s a great choice for those who struggle with pitch control to try.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
Although still in his teens, the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI has already produced several hit numbers.
Many university students—being close in age—have probably heard his songs.
His new track is Bunny Girl.
It’s a catchy, lighthearted tune, but surprisingly, it has a narrow vocal range.
Since there are no long sustained notes either, as long as you stay mindful of rhythm and pitch, you can aim for a high score even if singing isn’t your strong suit.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
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.
CharlotteWednesday Campanella
Wednesday Campanella is a musical unit that combines quality techno and pop music with high taste, earning widespread popularity.
They have many hit songs, but the one we especially recommend for university students is Charlotte.
Despite its bright rhythm, this track surprisingly has a narrow vocal range and features a catchy, easy-to-sing vocal line.
You don’t have to worry much about going off pitch, and even if you can’t hit high notes, you can still sing it—so it’s a piece we particularly encourage people who aren’t confident in their singing to try.
Bitter VacationMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is currently the most popular pop band.
Among Japanese pop bands, they enjoy overwhelming popularity, so I believe many university students like their music.
Of all Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs, the one I especially recommend is their new track, “Bitter Vacation.” For a Mrs.
song, this one is unusual in that it has a narrow vocal range.
Although many of their songs tend to be high-pitched, this track is exceptionally easy by their standards, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
I Want to Eat Naan (feat. Yuki Kaai)Yukopi
With an original, surreal, and charming musical style, the Vocaloid producer Yukopi radiates an overwhelming presence.
Even if you’re not well-versed in Vocaloid, many university students have probably heard Yukopi’s songs, since each work clearly reflects their unique touch.
Among Yukopi’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “I Want Naan (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” Its vocal range is extremely narrow and the melodic motion is gentle, making it easy to match the pitch.
Since it doesn’t require vibrato either, as long as you stay on pitch, you can likely score over 90 points at karaoke.
