Don’t you think choosing songs that feel good to sing at karaoke and naturally hype up the room is surprisingly tricky? If the vocal range is too wide or the rhythm too complex, the fun gets cut in half.
On the other hand, if you pick songs just for the hype, you might end up with high notes you can’t reach.
So this time, we’ve handpicked karaoke songs with an emphasis on singability—from nostalgic classics to gems with melodies that truly resonate.
These tracks all have lyrics that people of any generation can relate to and sit in a comfortable vocal range, making them easy to sing steadily.

[For People in Their 50s] Get the Party Going at Karaoke! A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Nostalgic Hit Songs (1–10)
A Tearful RequestThe Checkers
The Checkers’ classic “Namida no Request.” It’s a rock-style song infused with the essence of kayōkyoku, yet it also has a refreshing quality reminiscent of surf music.
It’s popular with both women and men, and in fact, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
The biggest reason is the relatively flat vocal line.
There are no phrases that require dramatic rises and falls in pitch.
On top of that, the range—mid1 F# to hi D#—is a generally accessible one, making it, overall, a very easy song to sing.
I'm glad I met you.Kyoko Koizumi
Kyoko Koizumi, an idol who was hugely active from the late ’80s through the ’90s.
Her song “Anata ni Aete Yokatta” was released in 1992, and from around this track she began putting out increasingly original, distinctive songs.
This work emphasizes catchiness, featuring a very singable vocal line throughout.
In particular, the range—mid1 G# to hi B—is quite narrow for a female song, so as long as you adjust the key, it should be easy for singers of any voice type to perform.
BambinaTomoyasu Hotei
Tomoyasu Hotei’s classic “Bambina.” Recently featured on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, the song has rapidly gained recognition among younger listeners.
Its appeal lies above all in its relentless, distilled rock ’n’ roll groove.
The bright guitar riff performed by Hotei is highly memorable.
Meanwhile, the vocal part is not very difficult, with a very narrow range of mid1 D# to mid2 G# and a relatively flat vocal line.
Even the highest note at the end of the chorus is at a level most people can sing in chest voice, so as long as you choose the right key, it shouldn’t be hard to sing.

KISS MEKyosuke Himuro
Kyosuke Himuro’s signature song “KISS ME.” It’s a rock-style track emblematic of the ’90s, featuring sharp, punchy synthesizers.
Despite that, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.
While the range is fairly wide—lowest note at mid1 C and highest at hi F—the song is primarily built around the mid2 C area, so it’s not an extremely high-pitched piece.
In fact, if you imitate Himuro’s constricted vocal style, you may find it quite manageable.
It’s a surefire hit at karaoke, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
240 Million Eyes - Exotic JapanHiromi Go
Hiromi Go’s classic “240 Million Eyes – Exotic Japan,” which frequently appears on variety shows and the like, was an exceptionally original piece for its time.
Its arrangement features a song structure that hints at kayōkyoku within J-pop.
Partly due to those kayōkyoku elements, the song is confined to a fairly narrow range of mid1D to mid2F.
Regardless of gender, it should be singable without issue if you choose an appropriate key.
Like on that certain TV show, performing it with parody lyrics can make it even more exciting, so keep that in mind as you check it out.
Rock ’n’ Roll in a Dumped MoodTOM CAT
TOM★CAT is a band that gained popularity for its highly original sound, blending elements of rock into the unique genre of techno kayō.
They have many classic songs, but among them, the one that stands out as especially popular is “Furarekibun de Rock’n’ Roll,” isn’t it? While the song has an energetic and bright feel, its vocal range is relatively narrow, spanning mid2 C# to hi F.
Since the overall range sits high, those with lower voices will need to lower the key as a premise; however, because the range itself is narrow, there’s ample room to transpose it downward.
Make my heart raceMiho Nakayama
For men in their 50s, wouldn’t it be fair to say that Miho Nakayama is an exceptionally catchy idol? Back then, even in her teens, many people were captivated by her vocals and looks, which exuded remarkable allure.
Among Miho Nakayama’s songs, the one I especially recommend for getting the crowd going and being easy to sing is “WAKU WAKU Sasete.” Blending synth-pop with kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), it’s composed with a fairly narrow vocal range of mid2 A# to hi C#.
The vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it overall quite an easy song to sing.
However, since the tempo is fairly fast at BPM 136, it’s important to get a solid feel for the tempo in advance.
