Easy-to-sing GLAY songs. Songs that feel great to sing at karaoke (1–10)
Together forever…GLAY
The fifth single, “Zutto Futari de…,” was released as a double A-side with “GONE WITH THE WIND.” The song was used as the ending theme for the variety show “Channel 99,” and is also known for having been written by TAKURO for TERU’s older sister, who was planning to get married at the time.
As a ballad, it has a relaxed tempo and is sung overall in a relatively low key, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
However, high notes appear toward the end, so be mindful of pacing and key settings when you perform it.
SOUL LOVEGLAY
The 14th single “SOUL LOVE,” used as the campaign song for Kanebo’s “Bronze Love ’98 Summer,” is a popular track that became a million seller—even though it was completed in just 10 minutes at the staff’s request.
The overall key is low and the melody is simple, making it easy to sing, but be careful with the high notes that appear in the latter half of the chorus, as they’re easy to go off pitch.
It has a comfortable beat and feels great to sing, so consider adding it to your karaoke repertoire.
Somewhere, not hereGLAY
The 17th single “Kokode wa Nai, Dokoka e,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Perfect Love!, was GLAY’s last 8 cm single and became a million-selling smash hit.
With a narrow vocal range and simple melodic movement—especially a low-key chorus—it’s easy to sing without getting tense.
Even those not confident in their singing can perform it calmly, and for listeners of the right generation, it’s sure to get everyone excited.
A refreshing pop tune, without a doubt.

Winter, againGLAY
“Winter, again,” GLAY’s 16th single, was used as the campaign song for JR East’s “JR SKISKI.” It became a million-selling hit that won both the Japan Record Award and the Japan Cable Radio Award, and is known as GLAY’s biggest hit.
Overall, the key is high, and the melody climbs even higher in the latter half of the chorus, so it’s not an easy song; however, since it’s a ballad with a relaxed tempo, it should be easier to sing if you set it to a key that suits your voice.
It’s a lyrical number that makes you want to sing while picturing the grand landscapes painted in the lyrics.
The strength to keep livingGLAY
That powerful singing voice snaps you awake! “Ikiteku Tsuyosa” was released in 1995 as their seventh single.
It was used as the theme song for the variety show ‘Kazaa-na Downtown.
’ The lyrics, sound, and vocal work all convey a strong determination to keep moving forward, and it makes you feel like, “I’m going to do my best too.” In terms of vocal range, it’s especially easy for women to sing.
It’s totally fine to use it for stress relief—don’t sweat the melody too much and just power through with sheer energy.
Freeze My LoveGLAY
The 4th single “Freeze My Love,” which was chosen as the opening theme for the sports variety show “Ring no Tamashii.” It was a track hurriedly recorded during production of their major-label debut album “SPEED POP,” and three years after its release, in 1998, it was also selected as the opening theme for the TV drama “Ryodatsui—Abunai Onna.” Although the song has a fast tempo and the distinctive chorus melody sounds challenging, it’s actually easy to sing thanks to its low key and relatively narrow vocal range.
With its dramatic intro that’s sure to hype up any karaoke room, it’s a cool rock tune you can’t go wrong with.
Blue JeanGLAY
Released in 2004 as their 31st single, this song gained wide recognition not only among GLAY fans, as it was featured in a commercial for Aesthetic TBC.
