Songs That Make You Sound Good at Karaoke (41–50)
Feverish DemonI wish it could stay midnight forever.
The vocal range is A#3 to E5, and the song is generally on the higher side, but if you basically sing gently with a falsetto-like tone, it should be easier to hit the pitches and you might even aim for a perfect score! If you use only falsetto you might get wobbly and tired, so be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and core support to keep your voice steady.
The rap-like part before the chorus might not even have a pitch bar, but it’s a cool section, so enjoy singing it while riding the rhythm! It’s a bit of a fast song, so don’t forget to breathe, and do your best with the falsetto!
Spring DayAimyon
In “Harunohi,” the A and B sections sit in a lower range, and the chorus jumps up into the higher register.
The highest note is C#5, but the melody is very clear, so it should be relatively easy to sing in tune.
Also, adding dynamics within the song will boost your score, so try to build excitement from A section → B section → chorus.
Stability is important for karaoke scoring, too, so focus on fundamentals: sustain your long tones to match the pitch bar, come in cleanly on the opening notes, and keep your intonation solid.
If you keep these basics in mind, you can aim for 100 points—give it a try!
That's enough already.Fujii Kaze
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze from Okayama Prefecture is an artist known for his stylish sound and distinctive lyrics and titles.
As you can tell from the title, his song “Mou Eewa” also features highly unique lyrics.
The vocals are generally delivered with a laid-back, ennui-like feel, so I think the difficulty level is low.
There aren’t many root-note parts either, so be sure to check it out! I’m sure you’ll be able to sing it smoothly!
Lady BluesLUCKY TAPES
LUCKY TAPES specialize in catchy melodies that blend jazz and pop.
To put it simply, they’re like a more pop-leaning Suchmos.
Their track “Lady Blues” also evokes a jazzy feel while retaining a classic pop atmosphere.
The vocal style is a soft, whispery delivery, so even those with lower volume or who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it steadily.
Give it a try!
dogwood (flowering dogwood)Yo Hitoto
Hitoto Yo’s classic “Hanamizuki” is one of her biggest hits and is arranged as a gentle ballad throughout.
It features a catchy, singable vocal line, but the song spans a relatively wide range.
That means men can showcase their skill in the low notes at the start, while women can shine in the high parts of the chorus.
Although the vocal difficulty isn’t particularly high, it’s a must-listen for anyone looking for a song that’s easy to sing yet sounds impressive.
Rainy HighwayNagie Lane
Nagie Lane is a vocal unit known for a music style centered on city pop.
They embody classic Japanese city pop in a straightforward way, and their appeal lies in a clean, unfussy performance.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Rainy Highway.
It’s sung across the mid-low to high registers, and the chorus features a fairly high falsetto.
Due to the structure of the vocal lines, you can’t rely on breaths or tricks to get by, so it’s a song that truly demands solid vocal ability.
Active Three MinutesTokyo Incidents
Tokyo Jihen is a band centered around Seiji Kameda, featuring Ringo Sheena as the vocalist.
Although the band disbanded in 2012, they left behind numerous hit songs, so many people—even teens—are likely familiar with them.
While they’re known for their uncommon, complex chord progressions in Japanese music, the vocal parts are surprisingly on the easier side.
Since Ringo Sheena herself isn’t the type of singer who relies solely on vocal prowess, those who lack confidence in their singing should definitely look to her as a reference!
