As I AmBilly Joel

Billy Joel – Just the Way You Are (Live 1977)
Just the Way You Are Billy Joel

It’s Billy Joel’s masterpiece among masterpieces, “Just the Way You Are.” It’s incredibly famous, and I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t know it if you sang it at karaoke.

The tempo is slow and the key isn’t high, so as long as you pay attention to the pitch, I think it’s easy to sing.

Saturday in the ParkCHICAGO

Chicago – Saturday In The Park (1973)
Saturday in the Park CHICAGO

Chicago’s 1972 hit is still often heard on TV and radio in Japan.

When it comes to Chicago, I think “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” is the famous one, but for karaoke, “Saturday in the Park” is easier to sing.

For a song that livens up a karaoke session and is easy to sing, I recommend Deep Purple’s “Burn” (Japanese title: “Murasaki no Honō”) for men in their 50s.

You might recognize it from Takuya Kimura’s Tama Home commercial.

While achieving Ian Gillan’s soaring rock high tones can be tough, this song is all about momentum—so put some spirit into it and sing with gusto.

All Right NowFree

It’s a 1970 release by the British rock band Free and the band’s biggest hit.

Despite its slow tempo, Paul Kossoff’s distorted guitar and Paul Rodgers’s husky vocals give the song an overall buoyant feel.

Careless WhisperGeorge Michael

George Michael – Careless Whisper (Official Video)
Careless Whisper George Michael

It is a signature solo work by George Michael, who was a member of Wham!.

As George Michael’s biggest hit, it became a worldwide success.

In Japan, it drew attention when Hideki Saijo (under the title “Dakishimete Jitterbug”) and Hiromi Go released covers around the same time.

Alone AgainGilbert O`Sullivan

Gilbert O’Sullivan – Alone Again (original version)
Alone Again Gilbert O'Sullivan

As you can tell from the O’ in his name, Gilbert O’Sullivan is an Irish singer, and this is his signature song.

“Alone Again” is practically synonymous with Gilbert O’Sullivan.

Even those who don’t know the song title or the artist’s name have probably heard it at least once.

It remains a timeless classic more than 30 years after its release.

Rock 'n' rollLed Zeppelin

When it comes to signature songs by Led Zeppelin, a hard rock band emblematic of the ’70s, there are many, including Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song, and Whole Lotta Love.

But for karaoke, I think Rock and Roll is relatively easier to sing.

It’s basically easy to get into the groove, so just ride the momentum and power through it.

Whatever you do, don’t assume you’ll be able to hit Robert Plant’s high notes.
