Karaoke songs I want to sing in April: classic and popular spring tracks (1–10)

Heralding springyama

yama – Harbinger of Spring (Official Video)

yama who heralds spring

Depending on the situation, the phrase “It’s okay” can sometimes feel irresponsible, can’t it? yama’s song Haru wo Tsugeru doesn’t try to cheer you on or encourage you; instead, it gently stays close to those spending their nights in loneliness.

When you’re carrying feelings of sadness or anxiety, it can be more comforting to have your feelings accepted or echoed rather than to be pushed forward.

If you’re looking for a song that stays close to your loneliness, try listening to it on a quiet night while taking your time to unwind.

On nights when cherry blossoms fallAimyon

Aimyon – On the Night the Cherry Blossoms Fall [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

On nights when cherry blossoms fall, Aimyon

This song by Aimyon, which sings about cherry blossom scenery, is a one-sided love song set in spring.

As the title “Sakura ga Furu Yoru wa” suggests, the lyrics unfold on a night when cherry blossoms are swirling in the air, expressing feelings for a man she secretly admires.

The contrast between the beautiful spring imagery and the uncertain course of love makes our hearts race.

Many of Aimyon’s songs sit in a relatively singable vocal range, and this track is in a range that should be approachable for women with an average vocal pitch.

With a BPM of 107, its easy-to-follow mid-tempo rhythm also makes it comfortable to sing.

Spring ThiefYorushika

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Spring Thief - Yorushika

This is a song by Yorushika, featuring vocalist Suis, whose clear, refreshing voice is especially captivating.

Many of Yorushika’s tracks are crafted in an exhilarating guitar-rock style, and this one also carries a breezy freshness that feels perfect for spring.

At the same time, its beauty lies in how it layers the fleeting nature of cherry blossoms with the finiteness of life.

For women with an average vocal range, the song spans a wide range and even pushes the highest notes a bit higher, so it’s a track best suited for confident singers to tackle at karaoke.
