[Even if you're not confident] Easy-to-sing songs for karaoke

Sing, sky of JapanSouthern All Stars

Southern All Stars – Sing, Sky of Japan [Official Music Video]

This is Southern All Stars’ fifth digital-only single, released in August 2023.

Incidentally, the previous single, “Bongiri Koiuta,” and the next one, “Relay ~ Mori no Uta,” are said to form a trilogy with a shared theme.

This track alone evokes the refreshing air of a leisurely summer beach, with a calm flow of time.

The vocal melody and range aren’t very wide, making it a gentle tune you can hum along to and enjoy casually—likely an easy song for anyone to sing.

Relax your shoulders and enjoy.

It might even help those who usually feel hesitant about singing discover the joy of it!

Happinessstorm

ARASHI – Happiness [Official Music Video]

It’s ‘Happiness,’ a bright song by Arashi that makes you want to sing along.

It was the theme song for the drama ‘Yamada Taro Monogatari,’ starring Kazunari Ninomiya and Sho Sakurai.

With its positive lyrics and melody, many people probably feel energized when they hear it.

It’s the kind of song that makes everyone want to sing together at karaoke.

The vocal range has some highs and lows, but because it’s so well-known, it’s easy to choose, and the melody is easy to remember.

It may be a bit low for women, so raising the key at karaoke might be a good idea.

One Lovestorm

One Love – Arashi

Arashi’s love song “One Love,” which is also very popular as a wedding song.

In 2020, “One Love: Reborn” was released and became a hot topic.

This song is also known for being easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s an easy choice not only because it’s famous and everyone knows it, but also because it has few sudden key changes and sits in a lower vocal range.

Plus, the relatively slow tempo makes it easier to calmly follow the melody.

It’s a song that’s easy for both men and women to sing, so definitely give it a try.

Let’s Walk Home (ROCK’N ROLL Recording Session 2023)

Many of you might be reminded of your childhood when you hear it.

“Aruite Kaerou” was released in 1994 as the fourth single.

It was chosen as the theme song for the children’s program Ponkikkies and later became a hit.

Since then, it’s been used frequently in commercials and TV shows, so it’s known across a wide range of generations.

Listening to the cheerful vocals makes you want to hum along, doesn’t it? If you’re a woman, it should be quite easy to sing.

The stars look beautiful in the sky.

The popular song “Sora ni Hoshi ga Kirei,” known from Myojo’s “Charumera” commercial jingle and used as an insert song in the 2016 drama Hibana, was released as their 10th single in 1996.

Its lyrics offer the comforting feeling of someone by your side when you’re down after a failure or troubled by something small—such a beautiful worldview.

The melody is calm, with a relatively low vocal range.

Try singing it while imagining a night sky full of twinkling stars.

Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA

AAA / “Love Sound and Rainy Sky” Music Video

This is a song by the dance performance group AAA.

They’re popular among young people regardless of gender, so if you’re going to karaoke with both men and women, singing the male and female parts together should really liven things up.

It’s also easy to sing, so I recommend it.

This song was produced as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Asa ga Kita.” It also made headlines because Sayanee, aka Sayaka Yamamoto of AKB48, served as the center for the first time.

It seems that on TV and at live performances, Sayanee sometimes does an acoustic guitar solo with vocals.

You wouldn’t think it was an AKB48 track after just one listen.
