This song, with its striking exotic intro, was released as a single in 2004 and is a supreme love ballad that sings of straightforward love.
The lyrics, which say that even ordinary days are precious, seem to remind us once again of what happiness truly is.
For men with an average vocal range, the notes are within reach, and above all, many will find the melody line simple and easy to sing.
Its relaxed ballad tempo also makes it easier to perform, letting you check each pitch and rhythm as you sing.
DiarySEKAI NO OWARI
“Diary,” a song released in 2022 and used as the theme for the Netflix series The Future Diary.
This track, which sings of being in love, captivates listeners not only with its vocals but also with its beautiful piano accompaniment.
As a ballad, the melody is easy to follow, and the range doesn’t vary drastically, making it relatively easy to sing.
However, since it’s sung in a comparatively high register for men, those with lower voices may need to adjust the key.
If you’re looking to perform a memorable ballad, be sure to consider choosing this song.
That’s all there is to it.Marcy
Marcy is a three-piece rock band whose lyrics, woven with striking phrases that capture delicate emotional nuances, seize fans’ hearts and never let go.
Their digital single “Tada Sore Dake no Koto ga sa” was featured as an insert song in episode 2 of ABEMA’s “Koisuru Weekend Homestay 2023 Spring ~Sweet Orange Memory~.” Its gradually building structure and the chorus’s beautiful melodic line make it a song you’ll want to belt out at karaoke.
It’s a sentimental number that conjures vivid scenes from its heartrending lyrics.

Sakura Clear SkiesYuri
The first graduation song created by Yuuri is “Sakurabare.” It’s a gentle-sounding ballad, and the lyrics depict a boy on the day of his departure expressing gratitude to his parents.
Because of that theme, it’s perfect for graduation ceremonies, farewell parties, or any time you want to convey thanks to someone.
Another notable feature is the brief pause right before the chorus.
The chorus is the most climactic part, so you naturally tend to push and run out of breath.
But with this song, I think you’ll find it easier to sing smoothly.
BoyhoodYosui Inoue
Released in 1990, this song gradually became a long-running hit and was certified a million-seller by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in 1997.
It’s one of Yosui Inoue’s signature tracks, featuring a striking piano performance by Takao Kisugi.
In commercials, not only does Inoue himself sing it, but it’s also often hummed by the actors appearing in them.
With its beautiful yet easy-to-hum melody, it’s a song many find themselves singing along to.
It’s also a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—the cheers start as soon as the intro begins.

A signature song by Kiroro that sings of deep love and gratitude to one’s mother over a gentle melody.
The clear, pure vocals and warm message woven by the two artists from Okinawa create a moving, jewel-like ballad.
Since its release in June 1998, it has been widely cherished as a song of thanks to parents at junior and senior high school choir competitions and at weddings.
With its relaxed tempo and relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing even at karaoke.
It’s the perfect song to perform with heartfelt feelings for your beloved family.
rainbow-coloredAyaka
This song was written as the theme for the NHK morning drama Hanako to Anne and released in 2014—many of you probably listened to it every morning.
According to its creator, Ayaka, she aimed to make a song that wouldn’t feel too heavy, something light that everyone could hum along to.
True to that vision, it’s a tune people of any age or gender can enjoy humming, so it’s one I definitely recommend trying at karaoke.
It’s a ballad, but one you can sing brightly and joyfully.
