Nogizaka46 “17 Minutes”

Nogizaka46 is a group that represents the Sakamichi Series.

In their early days, they produced numerous hit songs as a classic, mainstream idol group following AKB48, but lately they’ve also been performing songs that incorporate more experimental genres.

Among their works, one of the easiest love songs to sing at karaoke is 17 Minutes.

It portrays the feelings of a boy falling in love, and while the lyrics make your heart flutter, the melody is surprisingly calm.

Because of that, even people who can’t hit high notes or struggle with long tones should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Starry NightYuka

Yuka – Starry Night (Official Music Video)

Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who spent part of her childhood overseas, channels those experiences into her music.

She excels at a style that blends J-POP with elements of Black music such as neo-soul and R&B.

Because it isn’t full-on R&B, her songs tend to be easier to sing even for those who aren’t confident vocalists.

Among her works, the love song we especially recommend is Hoshizukiyo.

With its ethereal atmosphere and calm delivery, it’s easy to sing even for people who find it hard to project their voice.

Ano-chan, the idol who’s in high demand on variety shows.

Lately, it feels like there isn’t a day you don’t see her on TV.

Since the 2020s began, she’s also been very active as an artist, and recently scored a huge hit with the song “Chu, Tayōsei.” It’s used frequently on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, so I think many people will recognize it.

Like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s songs, it’s a track that captivates as a complete package, so the vocal line is very simple.

Find the key that suits you and give it a try.
