[Recommended] Short, easy-to-sing Japanese karaoke songs
I think there are quite a few people who aren’t good with karaoke, but sometimes you just can’t turn it down because of social obligations.
What’s more, there may be situations where, once you go, you can’t get away without singing at least one song.
So, I’m going to introduce some short songs that are easy to sing even for those who aren’t comfortable with karaoke!
Most of the songs I’m about to introduce are a little over three minutes long, but some are around two minutes.
Long songs can be tough for people who aren’t confident about singing, but you might be able to manage a short one!
Also, feel free to use this as a reference when choosing the final song as your room time is about to run out.

[Recommended] Short and Easy-to-Sing Japanese Karaoke Songs (71–80)
I adore you, you cutie!SUI
Breaking out from TikTok, singer-songwriter Sui has become especially popular among younger generations.
This song, “Kawaii Kimi ga Itooshii!” (“My Adorable You is So Dear!”), is a super cute love song that’ll make your heart flutter.
It’s packed with such pure feelings of “I like you” that you might even feel a bit shy singing it! It could be easy to sing for high schoolers and people around that age.
The track is short at about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and it’s over before you know it.
Since it’s a cute love song, it’s also easy for women to sing without it feeling out of place!
Heralding springyama
Released in April 2020, this track produced by Vocaloid producer Kujira marks her first solo work, “Haru wo Tsugeru” (Announcing Spring).
Its calm yet ear-pleasing and distinctive vocal style is highly addictive—one you’ll want to play on repeat.
It’s also thought to be easy to sing as a karaoke song, running about 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
Starting with a striking chorus and repeating the chorus several times, it’s relatively easy to sing along to.
Listeners are sure to find it addictive too.
So Let’s Get TruthMr.Children
It’s a refreshing song with a light, upbeat rhythm, and it’s a short piece of about a minute and a half.
The length makes it easy to sing at karaoke, so I highly recommend it! However, the lyrics are imbued with criticism and irony toward modern society, reflecting Kazutoshi Sakurai’s meticulous craft.
It can be called a hidden gem.
Make you happyNiziU
NiziU has drawn a lot of attention ever since their pre-debut project launch show.
This song, “Make you happy,” was released as a pre-debut track before their official debut.
Even though it was labeled as pre-debut, it naturally became a hot topic and is widely known across different age groups—you often hear it on TV and around town.
The song is about three minutes long, so it’s on the shorter side.
It’s one of those tracks that you can’t help but hum along to, and you could even just go ahead and dance to it and get the excitement going!
TravelersOfficial HIGE DANDism
Known by the nickname “Higedan,” Official HIGE DANDism is a four-piece piano pop band that has churned out hit after hit with their impactful melodies and songs.
This track, included on their first album “Traveler,” is under two minutes long, yet it’s packed with the band’s charm and musical depth.
With its melodic rises and falls and irregular rhythms, it’s not an easy song, but if you can nail it despite its brevity, you’re sure to earn respect.
It’s also an easy pick as a warm-up before singing other Higedan songs, making it a recommended choice even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
Sinbad on the ShorePink Lady
This is one of the signature songs by Pink Lady, the idol duo.
With its bright and catchy vibe, it seems like it would really liven up a karaoke session! The song wraps up in about two and a half minutes.
If you sing it as a duo like Pink Lady, even people who aren’t confident in their singing can enjoy it without worry!
Let's go!! Rider KickHiroshi Fujioka
This is the earliest theme song from the wildly popular Showa-era tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider—so famous it hardly needs any introduction.
It’s a classic tune that just about everyone has heard at least once, and with the 2023 remake Shin Kamen Rider doing so well, I’ve deliberately chosen it in the spirit of riding that wave of popularity.
The singer, Hiroshi Fujioka—needless to say, the actor who played Kamen Rider No.
1—has a wonderfully soothing, deep voice.
Don’t overthink it; just tap into your inner kid, sing along, and enjoy! With the Shin Kamen Rider film performing strongly right now, it’s sure to be a welcome, timely pick.
