Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke. Recommended classics and popular tracks (1–10)
On a night when stars fallMs. OOJA
This is the sixth digital-only single by Ms.
OOJA, a female singer-songwriter who, after graduating high school, worked as a clothing store clerk while performing in Nagoya’s club scene, and made her major-label debut at 29.
Released as the second installment in a series of seven monthly digital singles, the track features an emotional vocal delivery and a nostalgic melody that perfectly reflect her club-scene roots.
The gentle, airy vocals set over a relaxed shuffle beat make you want to try singing it at karaoke.
It’s a number that exudes both tenderness and sensuality—highly recommended if you’re looking for a song with a mature vibe.
Mutual loveNEW!aiko
Aiko often has songs that span a wide range from low to high notes.
In the new song “Sōshi Sōai,” the key range looks wide at G#3–C#5, but the actual sung range is lower than you might expect.
The B4 range is used in the chorus and elsewhere, but for most women, that pitch should come out naturally without much effort.
Rather than a “cheerful!” vibe, it’s a song that strongly conveys “bittersweet emotion,” so it’s one you can sing with a calm tone.
When you actually try singing it, you may find many phrases where the pitch drops at the end of the melody lines, which can make intonation tricky for some.
It’s true that moving from low to high can be easier if you have momentum, but going from high to low is very difficult to land accurately.
Try singing lightly while sustaining your breath all the way to the end.
Because you are hereUru
This is the first digital-only single by singer-songwriter Uru, who, despite being an amateur, achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing 140,000 subscribers by releasing numerous cover songs and original tracks on her YouTube channel.
Written specifically as the theme song for the TV drama “Theseus no Fune” (Theseus’ Ship), the track was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for paid music downloads.
Uru’s fragile yet gentle vocals blend with the piano tones to create a soothing listening experience.
It’s a beautiful ballad that, in karaoke, you’ll want to sing with attention to your breathing and edge voice.

Bedroom TalkOfficial HIGE DANDism
Despite their outstanding taste and high-level compositions, the four-piece piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism has won a wide range of listeners as popular music thanks to their pop sensibilities.
This song, included on their third album “Editorial,” also drew attention because its official lyric video was released as the band’s first fully illustrated video.
The arrangement, with a neo-soul and hip-hop sense of timing that feels great, and the message woven by the distinctive, gentle vocals convey the band’s depth along with catchiness.
Though the melody and rhythm are both challenging, it’s a pop tune you’ll definitely want to try at karaoke.
remainingKayoko Yoshizawa
Singer-songwriter Kayoko Yoshizawa has an exceptionally soft and gentle singing voice.
Her signature song “Nokotteru” showcases that voice to the fullest.
The lyrics depict the hazy, conflicted feelings of a woman coming home at dawn; it’s heartbreaking to listen to, yet full of moments many can relate to—a true classic.
Since it’s a slow-tempo ballad, the key when singing it at karaoke is to keep your voice soft like hers and avoid forcing it.
Night of OsmanthusMushroom Empire
A song by the three-piece rock band Kinoko Teikoku, formed in 2007 by classmates at Rissho University and currently on hiatus following member departures.

The vocals are clear yet commanding, and many listeners may find themselves feeling a touch of melancholy.
