[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 (41–50)
road; way; path; street; route; Tao (in philosophy)storm
This is a song used as an insert track in the movie “Pika☆nchi: Life is Hard Dakedo Happy,” starring Arashi.
It has a relaxed tempo, and the very positive lyrics make it a wonderful song.
The song itself is about a minute and a half long, so you’ll finish singing it in no time!
Odoru Pompoko RinE-girls
It’s the theme song from the beloved national anime “Chibi Maruko-chan,” a tune that people of all ages can sing.
With a pleasant, upbeat tempo, it runs about 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
This isn’t the original version, but a newer cover by E-girls.
The original track is known for its very catchy melody, and their cover makes it even more poppy and approachable.
It’s easy for everyone to sing together, so it’s also recommended for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE
Depending on the generation, many people might think of this song when they hear “birthday song.” It’s about three minutes long, which I think is a very easy length to sing.
Whether you can pronounce the English well seems to be the key to whether you can sing it well.
Us, as alwaysB’z
B’z are known for releasing songs with very long titles, but this one is actually short in performance time.
It’s a warm, gentle track that suits an acoustic sound well.
It’s a lovely song that expresses the desire to move forward freely.
I got a girlfriend.SHISHAMO
A song included as the first track on SHISHAMO’s debut album, “SHISHAMO.” It’s about three minutes long.
A karaoke classic! Highly recommended for kicking off the night and getting everyone hyped.
The structure is simple and the progression is speedy.
I’d love to see you sing it cutely while hopping around (lol)!
monsterGen Hoshino
This is a two-and-a-half-minute song by Gen Hoshino, who is dominating the J-POP scene.
The marimba in the intro, just like in his 2018 release “Idea,” is actually played by Hoshino himself.
It’s an uptempo, light, and very easy-to-sing track.
Kadokawa The Television logoYutaka Mogi
A phrase you’ve probably heard at least once in a TV commercial.
It’s debatable whether it counts as a song, but it’s definitely in karaoke.
If you suddenly sing it, you’ll get laughs and surprise from the people around you—what a bargain of a tune! Since it’s short, be careful not to miss any notes.
