together; along with; bothWANIMA
WANIMA is a rock band with energetic vocals that’s especially popular among teenagers.
Their catchy sound blends punk rock elements into J-pop, and every release brims with positivity and energy.
Among their songs, a particularly recommended, easy-to-sing friendship tune for karaoke is Tomoni.
It might seem high, but that’s only because the original key is high; the song’s range itself isn’t that wide.
If you adjust the key to suit your voice, the high notes shouldn’t be an issue.
Secret base ~What you gave me~ZONE
When you get together with friends you spent your youth with, you can’t help wanting to sing something nostalgic.

Everyone has had the experience of talking about the future with friends, right? This song, which lets you bask in fond memories, is sure to liven up a karaoke session with your friends.

We are!Hiroshi Kitadani
With its exhilarating, sing-along melody and bright, uplifting vibe, this is the biggest hit by artist Hiroshi Kitadani, known for creating theme songs for massively popular anime.
The song expresses a resolve to pursue each person’s own dream together with a cherished best friend, and its simple rhythm makes it an easy number to sing.
You are my friend.Diamond Yukai
The Disney film Toy Story depicts a world of toys.
The first movie was released in 1995, and including spin-offs, there have been five works released to date.
Because of that, I think it’s a film that even today’s younger generation finds familiar.
Speaking of Toy Story’s friendship song, it has to be You’ve Got a Friend in Me.
The original is country-style, but perhaps because it’s sung by Yukai Diamond in this version, it gives off a slightly rock vibe.
The melody is simple, so even people who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
Without youHidehiko Ishizuka & Yuji Tanaka
Disney’s Monsters, Inc.
remains hugely popular among both younger and older generations.
Disney films often feature memorable music, and among them, “If I Didn’t Have You” from Monsters, Inc.
is especially beloved.
The song is performed by Yuji Tanaka of the comedy duo Bakushō Mondai and Hidehiko Ishizuka of Honjamaka, who voiced Mike Wazowski and Sulley.
Since the two performers aren’t professional singers, the vocal line is kept simple.
The lyrics, which celebrate friendship, are moving—be sure to give them a listen.
GiftET-KING
“Gift,” a song that represents Japanese friendship.
It’s a classic by ET-KING.
You can really feel Itokin’s straightforward character, who sadly passed away from cancer.
While “Gift” is infused with reggae elements throughout, it’s not hardcore dancehall or raggamuffin, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s fine to rasp or belt along with the original, but since that can strain your throat, try to produce a punchy voice within a comfortable range.
