Western anime songs that are easy to sing at karaoke (11–20)
I See The LightMandy Moore & Zachary Levi
This is a song featured in the 2010 Disney film Tangled.
In the movie, Rapunzel and Flynn sing it.
It seems like it would be even more fun and exciting as a duet, so it might be a good idea to find someone to sing it with you.
Country RoadOlivia Newton-John
This is the English version of the song used in the ending of the hugely popular Ghibli film “Whisper of the Heart.” The Japanese lyrics are more famous in Japan, but the English lyrics are also easy to sing, with a slow tempo and not too difficult, making it a Western anime song that’s easy to try.
A Whole New WorldRegina Belle & Peabo Bryson
This is a song used as part of the soundtrack in the Disney movie Aladdin, released in 1992.
It’s one of the most popular Disney animated films, and the song is well-known, so many people recognize it at karaoke, making it an easy, upbeat ballad to get everyone excited.
Try EverythingShakira
This is the theme song from Disney’s animated film Zootopia, released in 2016.
Since the tempo isn’t fast, it’s easy for people who aren’t confident in English to give it a try, and the many repeated phrases make it easy to sing.
It would likely be even more exciting with clips from the movie playing.
I’m Still StandingTaron Egerton
Taron Egerton is an actor from the United Kingdom who became more widely known in Japan thanks to the 2016 film “SING.” Although he is originally an actor, his participation as a voice actor in “SING” seems likely to further broaden the range of work he can take on.
For the First Time in ForeverKristen Bell & Idina Menzel
This is a song featured as a musical number in Disney’s 2013 film Frozen.
In karaoke, it often plays together with scenes from the movie, so you can enjoy watching the protagonist, Anna, sing cheerfully.

ImmortalsFall Out Boy
This is a song used as an insert track in Disney’s animated film Big Hero 6, released in 2014.
Because it was written specifically for the movie, it perfectly matches the anime-style world of the film—an anime song by a super stylish, hugely popular rock band.
