Beat de TouhiHamaiku
Hamaiku is a musical duo consisting of comedian Ryuichi Hamaie and former Nogizaka46 member Erika Ikuta.
The unit was formed on NHK’s music program Venue101.
Speaking of their signature song, it would be “Beat de Touhi.” Since neither of the two is primarily a singer, the vocal line of this track is very simple.
There are no harmonies; they just sing the same line as male and female, so it can be considered an easy duet as well.
Neo-MelodramaticPorno Graffitti
Neo Melodramatic, the 17th single released as a double A-side with ROLL.
Used in the commercial for Daihatsu Motor’s Move Custom, this track features a tight guitar riff and a rock ensemble that really ramps up the energy.
For a Porno Graffitti song, the key is relatively low and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it could be fun to try singing it in the original key.
With its driving beat, it’s a rock tune that’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
CandyNaoko Gushima
Recently, there’s been a revival boom, with the musical styles and fashion of the 1970s and 1980s becoming trendy.
“Candy,” sung by Naoko Majima, is a perfect fit for this revival boom.
Its melody, inspired by 1980s city pop, is particularly striking, and a nostalgic atmosphere permeates the entire track.
Unlike many contemporary songs, the lyrics have fewer words, allowing the vocals to be delivered with more breathing room.
For these reasons, it can be considered a very easy song to sing, even for those who aren’t confident singers.
#302Ken Hirai
“#302” portrays a bittersweet love for a woman nursing a broken heart.
Released in 2019, the song was used as the theme for the drama “4-Minute Marigold,” and the music video features Yui Sakuma and Sho Kiyohara.
Although the rhythm is in 6/8, the melody laid over it is very simple, so as long as you follow the lyrics closely, you should be able to sing it without feeling too uneasy.
The chorus goes a bit higher, so if high notes aren’t your strong suit, I recommend adjusting the key to something more comfortable.
Grandfather's ClockKen Hirai
“Grandfather’s Clock,” a nursery song beloved by people of all ages.
Released in 2002, this piece was composed by American songwriter Henry Clay Work, whose sheet music became a big hit when it was published in 1876.
Ken Hirai’s wonderful vocals truly stand out; his voice intertwines with the pleasant melody line, making it feel as though new life has been breathed into this time-honored children’s song.
Since it is essentially a nursery rhyme, both the lyrics and the melody have an accessible structure, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
It’s a song that anyone—from children to adults—can easily try.
Beyond the RainbowHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s masterpiece “Niji no Mukou,” known for its bright, uplifting melody, stands out for how easy it is to sing—above all because of its rhythm.
It’s structured in a very straightforward 4/4 beat—“zutch, zutch, zutch, zutch”—so even singers who tend to come in late at karaoke can feel at ease.
As for the high notes, there aren’t any particularly difficult spots, making it very singable.
If you want to make it sound stylish, try blending in English-like pronunciations such as the “r” and “ae” sounds into your Japanese diction.
I did nothing for two hours.I won't forget
Wasure ran nee yo is a band that’s gained popularity with its sharp rock sound and comical lyrics.
They’re especially supported by guys in their teens and twenties.
Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend for people who aren’t confident in singing is “Did Nothing for Two Hours.” While it’s on the slightly higher side vocally, the melody is easy to remember, and you don’t need to sing it perfectly clean, so overall it’s a low-difficulty song.
The fact that it’s very short is also one of the reasons it’s easy to sing.
