Ballad songs that are easy to sing at karaoke: Recommended masterpieces and popular tracks (31–40)
sparrowRADWIMPS feat. Tomei
For karaoke beginners, adding dynamics to your singing can be challenging.
In that case, why not try a relatively gentle ballad? The song I’d like to recommend is “Suzume.” It’s a track performed by the rock band RADWIMPS and singer-songwriter Takaaki.
The vocals are handled by Takaaki, giving the piece a somewhat sacred atmosphere.
If you want to make the most of a high register or showcase a soft, tender voice, give this song a try.
I want to see you.yuzu
This is Yuzu’s 27th single, released in April 2009.
It was the theme song for the NHK drama “Ghost Friends.” The song has a very straightforward, beautiful melody that seems to reflect the duo’s personalities, and in terms of memorability it’s quite easy to sing at karaoke.
That said, there may not be many average male singers who can handle the original key.
You could consider using falsetto for the high notes in the chorus, but that might undermine the song’s atmosphere.
If possible, try finding a key where you can sing it in chest voice and give it a go.
for a long timeKiroro
It was released in 1998 as Kiroro’s major-label debut single.
In its ninth week on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, it reached number one despite being a debut single, and it went on to become a long-running hit and a million seller.
Its gentle melody makes it easy to sing at karaoke.
Never endsUru
Uru has an image of using a lot of breath in her singing.
“Never ends” is a relaxed song where her falsetto resonates beautifully.
The song has a generally wistful feel, so there’s no need to belt.
Since you can sing it without forcing and with a relaxed approach, I think it’s easy for women to sing! However, the falsetto in the chorus is delivered a bit strongly, so I’m worried that a normal falsetto might become thin and fade out.
Try to keep in mind: “It’s falsetto, but sing it with a bit of strength.” Your core is important, so brace yourself and send the voice straight out from your head!
The summer you gave meLeo Ieiri
This was Leo Ieiri’s 10th single, released in August 2015.
It was also the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.
m.
drama “Koinaka.” Since Ieiri herself isn’t a singer known for superhuman power or range, and the melody is relatively simple, I think it’s a song that’s fairly easy for most people to sing.
The key point for singing it well is whether you can use falsetto and mixed voice effectively in the high range.
This depends on each singer’s vocal range, so if you’re not confident, adjust the karaoke key to find a setting that lets you sing comfortably.

fragileEvery Little Thing

The song was used as the theme for Fuji TV’s Ainori, won the Excellent Work Award at the 34th Japan Cable Radio Awards, and received the Gold Award at the 43rd Japan Record Awards.
It is one of Every Little Thing’s signature songs and is also popular for karaoke.
Life is BeautifulHirai Dai
A heartwarming song that’s perfect for peaceful moments by the sea.
Dai Hirai’s gentle voice, paired with soothing sounds of ukulele and acoustic guitar, quietly reminds us just how precious the small joys of everyday life are.
The message embedded in this piece—“Life is beautiful”—guides the heart toward those sparkling moments we tend to overlook in our busy days.
Released in June 2016 as the title track of the acclaimed album “Life is Beautiful,” it also became well-loved as the theme for House Foods’ “Java Curry” commercial.
Whether you’re lost in thought on a beach at sunset or standing at a turning point in life, this song is sure to resonate deeply with the listener.
