DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

This time, I’ve put together a list of songs that are easy to sing at karaoke!

If you’re picking the first song to sing at karaoke or feel a bit unsure about singing, this is a must-see—check it out.

I chose songs with memorable, simple melodies, so if you adjust the key, they should be singable for anyone, regardless of gender.

Actually singing and finding the key that suits you is also a great tip for making songs easier to sing.

Since many of these are well-known tracks, they’re sure to get everyone hyped when you go to karaoke with a big group!

Find a song you want to try and give it a go!

Let’s all enjoy karaoke together!

Sing, sky of JapanSouthern All Stars

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

Sing, Nippon no Sora — Southern All Stars

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!

One Lovestorm

One Love – Arashi

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)

Let's Walk Home - Kazuyoshi Saito

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.

Beautiful stars in the sky Saito Kazuyoshi

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.

Family songGen Hoshino

Gen Hoshino – Family Song (Official Video)

Family Song by Gen Hoshino

It’s a song that conveys deep affection, depicting someone wishing happiness for a loved one in sync with its warm sound.

It’s also memorable for being chosen as the theme song for the drama “Overprotected Kahoko,” and the songwriter has said they referenced the script and wrote the lyrics while reflecting on “what family is.” The gentle, piano-centered rhythm and the vocal line with minimal pitch movement make it relatively easy to sing.

Precisely because the tempo is slow, it’s important to stay mindful of the rhythm so the singing doesn’t become weak.

To deliver the message of the lyrics, I recommend paying close attention to how you finish phrases and to dynamic contrast throughout your performance.

365 Days' Paper AirplaneAKB48

[MV] Paper Airplane of 365 Days (Short ver.) / AKB48 [Official]

365-Day Paper Airplane AKB48

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.
