Lovely karaoke song

Karaoke songs that are easy to sing for women, even for those who are tone-deaf

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Many of today’s songs feature delicate vocals, and some require you to keep singing softly while sustaining high notes.

For women who aren’t confident in their singing, those kinds of songs can feel intimidating.

This time, we’ve selected karaoke-friendly tracks for people who feel that way.

Rather than simply listing easy songs, a vocal coach also explains how to sing them, so be sure to use those tips as a reference.

Karaoke songs recommended for women that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf (91–100)

mild daysHitsuji Bungaku

mild days Sheeps in the Light (Hitsujibungaku)

Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece female band, and it seems that vocalist Moeka Shiozuka mainly writes the lyrics and composes.

The new song “mild days” also features beautifully tight harmonies! What seems like the B section might actually be the chorus, but from there she sings an octave higher, layering softly, and the atmosphere shifts all at once.

She also sings upper harmonies while taking the line an octave up, so at first you might not notice and end up singing the whole thing an octave higher.

But if you practice carefully while listening closely to the vocals, you’ll pick up the knack quickly! The song is also on the shorter side at about three minutes, and the repeating melody makes it easy to memorize.

I'm glad I met you.Kyoko Koizumi

I'm glad I met you.

I'm glad I met you, Kyoko Koizumi

It was released in 1991 as Kyoko Koizumi’s 32nd single.

The song was used as the theme for the TBS drama “Papa to Nacchan,” in which Koizumi herself also appeared.

It became a million seller and her biggest hit.

It has been covered by many artists, and since the key suits both male and female voices, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke.

Kiroro - For a Long Time

For a long time, Kiroro

This was Kiroro’s major-label debut single, released in January 1998.

Before their major debut, the indie version of the song became an unusually big hit for an independent release, selling over 10,000 copies.

Many of Kiroro’s songs—not just this one—feature approachable melodies that evoke a certain nostalgia, but with this particular track, their first major-label single, the “major-label feel” is pleasantly subdued.

In a sense, I personally think it might be the song that feels most quintessentially them.

Maybe because of that, it’s the kind of tune you find yourself humming along to without even thinking about vocal technique or anything else.

So relax, have fun, and sing it lightly.

Ayaka / Rainbow-Colored

Nijiiro Ayaka

It’s Ayaka’s 13th single, released as a CD in June 2014.

When it comes to Ayaka, she’s known for her powerful vocals, so some of you might be thinking, “There’s no way someone like me, who isn’t good at singing, could sing this!” But this song has a very warm and gentle melody, and the vocal range used in the melody isn’t that wide.

So as long as you set the karaoke key to one that suits you, I think just about anyone can sing it lightly, almost like humming.

Try not to worry too much about how she sings it—just follow the lyrics and melody in a straightforward way!

First NightYorushika

Yorushika – First Night (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika, First Night

Yorushika is a musical duo that’s gained popularity for their abstract lyrics and ennui-tinged sound.

They’re consistently ranked near the top of Japan’s mainstream charts, so many of you may already know them.

While some people think their songs are hard to sing because of the high notes, most of those high notes don’t require much volume, so if you sing softly, just about anyone can handle them.

Among their songs, Daiichiya (“First Night”) is especially easy to sing, so definitely give it a try at karaoke.

You...Kana Nishino

Kana Nishino 'Kimi tte (short ver.)'

You’re like Kana Nishino.

It was used as an insert song for the drama “Freeter, Ie o Kau.” The tempo is slow.

The pitch rises toward the chorus, but not to a difficult height.

Since many of Kana Nishino’s songs are in a high key, I think this one is also good for warming up your voice.

Come, springYumi Matsutoya

Yumi Matsutoya – Come, Spring

Spring, Come by Yumi Matsutoya

Yumi Matsutoya’s 26th single, released in October 1994.

It was unveiled as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series of the same title.

While many of Yuming’s songs from the ’90s onward feature somewhat eccentric melodic developments, this piece is crafted with a melody reminiscent of Showa-era children’s songs and school tunes, making it very approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s also popular as a graduation song, so many people may have sung it at their graduation ceremonies.

Overall, if you relax and sing with a gentle touch, it should come together nicely.
