Because I fell in loveAimyon
This is a single released by Aimyon in February 2019, and it’s also included on her second album, “Momentary Sixth Sense.” It begins with a gentle arpeggio on acoustic guitar and murmured vocals, and that quietness continues all the way to the end.
There are no sections where she belts out high notes; the song is consistently delivered in a soft, whisper-like voice, so in the sense of being easy to hum along to, it’s a song anyone can casually sing at karaoke.
However, to fully convey the song’s world with its subdued arrangement and vocals, you’ll need a corresponding level of expressiveness and an understanding of the lyrics.
If possible, at least memorize the lyrics before you sing.

It’s also a song that’s very comfortable to sing.

Love is…Ryuichi Kawamura
This is Ryuichi Kawamura’s fourth single, released in October 1997.
Musically, it’s a very simple ballad that’s easy to hum and enjoy, but if you’re aiming for a perfect 100 in karaoke, it probably comes down to how well you can reproduce Kawamura’s somewhat distinctive singing style.
Study things like how he applies vibrato and how he connects notes within phrases, then give it a try.
Personally, I have some reservations about turning it into an impersonation of the artist just to chase a score, but since the song features many broad, relaxed phrases, I think it’s relatively easy to recreate in karaoke.
