Gentle songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: Recommended classics and popular tracks (21–30)
searchlightKoji Tamaki
This is the 25th single by singer-songwriter Koji Tamaki, who debuted as the vocalist of the rock band Anzenchitai and has continued to command a unique presence with his overwhelming vocal ability and versatile multi-instrumental talent.
The song was used as the ending theme for the TV drama Tokyo Bandwagon, in which he himself appeared.
His voice, which blends power and delicacy within a gentle tone, leaves a strong impression.
The highly expressive singing and lyrical arrangement also make it very satisfying to perform at karaoke.
It’s a nostalgic-feeling track that you’ll want to sing while keeping Koji Tamaki’s vocal style in mind.
Angel in my heartSIZUKU
A song by singer and actress SIZUKU, digitally released in July 2023.
It is the theme song for the TV drama “I Used to Be an Idol, Now I’m a Delivery Person,” starring Yuma Teranishi and with SIZUKU herself as the heroine, which begins airing on BS Fuji on July 2.
The track unfolds quite dramatically—starting with a ballad-style opening, shifting to an up-tempo section, and returning to a ballad feel toward the end.
However, the vocal melody remains consistently very singable throughout, and the vocal range used isn’t very wide, so as long as you keep up with the song’s development, it should be very easy for anyone to sing.
A Bouquet for YouHikaru Utada
A digital-only fifth single by singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, who, despite debuting as a teenager and leaving a powerful mark on the J-pop scene, took a hiatus for “human activities” and continues to command an overwhelming presence today.
Chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Toto Nee-chan, the track carries a message said to be addressed to her late mother, Keiko Fuji, which is truly heart-wrenching.
The arrangement, which spotlights lyrics that set it apart from Utada’s widely known songs, creates a unique beauty together with her gentle vocals.
It’s a bittersweet yet beautiful number you’ll want to sing at karaoke while savoring each and every word.
Close your eyesKen Hirai
Speaking of Ken Hirai, it’s all about “Ken’s Bar.” The live venue is styled like a bar, and you can actually enjoy drinks while watching the show.
What a stylish concept—it’s the kind of concert you’d want to attend at least once.
His hit song “Hitomi wo Tojite” overflows with gentleness in both melody and lyrics.
Written as the theme for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World,” it captures profound affection within a single track.
If you’re unsure what to pick, this is the one I recommend.
Small SongJUJU
JUJU is also an artist who brings out a gentle low register, and she has lots of easy-to-listen-to songs! The A and B sections have a calm feel based on the mid-to-low range, so sing carefully, one phrase at a time.
Also, the final chorus modulates and goes higher—the top note reaches D5—so it might be a bit tough for lower-voiced women, but be careful not to strain your throat or belt.
Sing with the sensation of a soft hum, imagining the sound resonating in your forehead and the top of your head.
Doing this may expand your vocal range and help you sing a wider variety of songs!
In the midst of the trivialGen Hoshino
A gentle, tender ballad by Gen Hoshino.
Though the song has a soft atmosphere, it uses words that convey human reality—resentment, envy, the scent of people—evoking both human foolishness and lovability.
It’s a track I’d love for you to sing while reflecting on yourself.
Blue BookmarkGalileo Galilei
A refreshing track that begins with a calm, mysterious intro.
The interplay with the female vocals from the second verse adds an emotional touch that makes you want to listen again and again.
While many of the lyrics evoke summer, the coolness the song brings is incredibly soothing.
