Love songs that are easy to sing at karaoke. Recommended classics and popular tracks.

Youth and youth and youthAimyon

Aimyon – Youth and Youth and Youth [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

The song “Youth and Youth and Youth,” with its languid, retro atmosphere, leaves a strong impression.

While its melody could be classified as folk, the instrumentation occasionally evokes Hawaiian music and old-school surf tunes.

The vocal line is extremely simple, with no complex rises or falls in pitch.

Since most of the song sits in the low to low-mid range, it’s easier to sing if you match the lower register rather than aiming for any higher notes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

back number - “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Music Video (Theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love”)

An emotionally moving medium-tempo ballad that portrays the complex feelings of unrequited love—from the faint expectations on the eve of a birthday to the ache of emotions that never reach their destination.

In contrast to the happiness of a birthday, the loneliness and the sorrow of being unable to express one’s feelings straightforwardly resonate with a delicate melodic line.

Released in February 2019, the song was featured as the theme for the TBS drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love,” and was also included on the album “MAGIC.” With vocals that gently embrace the bittersweet emotions of love that everyone has experienced, it’s a song well-suited for karaoke, where it can be performed in a calm, composed manner.

back number – From the Hands We Held (full)

A poignant ballad that reflects on past romance and gradually realizes the value of a lost love.

It delicately portrays the warmth of happier days slowly cooling, as well as the magnitude of the other person’s presence that only becomes clear after the breakup.

Included on the 4th album “Love Story” released in March 2014, it was also used as the commercial song for JTB’s travel product “JTB Premium.” With a gentle, heart-touching melody and a relatable narrative, this song is relatively easy to sing at karaoke and is one you’ll want to try—especially if you’ve experienced heartbreak or parting.

A Naked HeartAimyon

Aimyon – Naked Heart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

This song is striking for its honest emotional shifts.

Released in June 2020 as Aimyon’s 10th single, it was created as the theme song for the TBS drama “My Housekeeper Nagisa-san.” Its gentle melody, centered on piano and melodica, closely accompanies the protagonist’s feelings as they face their own heart.

The track portrays a down-to-earth struggle with self-esteem through love, and its unadorned lyrics have resonated with many listeners.

While expressing anxiety and inner conflict in romance, it also carries a resolve to move forward, making it a perfect pick for stress-relieving karaoke time.

GOOD NIGHT BABYAimyon

Aimyon – GOOD NIGHT BABY [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A classic song where you can fully enjoy Aimyon’s signature airy huskiness and natural phrasing, “GOOD NIGHT BABY.” It’s a track from her second album, “Shunkanteki Sixth Sense,” released in 2019, and a music video was produced in collaboration with Reebok CLASSIC; as of May 2025, it has surpassed 18.

7 million views.

The chord progression is almost the same as “Marigold,” featuring a very accessible melody in the vein of mainstream J-pop.

Overall, there aren’t any dramatic leaps in pitch, nor are there extremely low notes, so it’s easy to sing even for those who struggle with lower ranges.

The classic “Popuri no Ha” begins with guitar arpeggios touched by a warm effect.

Rather than leaning into her folk roots, this piece lands closer to the languid Japanese rock of the late 2000s.

Although falsetto appears in the chorus, the song doesn’t demand much vocal power, so it’s also recommended to recreate it with a restrained mixed voice, which is much easier to produce than falsetto.

If you’re not confident in your lung capacity or vocal stamina, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Please understand me.Aimyon

Please understand me.

“Wakatte Kureyo” is one of Aimyon’s earliest songs, included on her first indie mini-album “tamago,” released in 2015.

The lyrics from a male perspective are striking, and apparently Aimyon actually wrote this song in her mid-teens.

With a subtly Japanese-flavored piano intro, the song has a distinctly Aimyon, 2000s-style medium-tempo ballad vibe, and it’s amazing to think she wrote it as a teenager—her exceptional talent as a singer-songwriter really shines.

Beyond the singable melody line, the overall pitch sits on the lower side, so a man with a higher voice could likely sing it in the original key.
