Easy-to-sing Western music karaoke special — a guaranteed hit at karaoke!

Wake Me UpAvicii

Avicii – Wake Me Up (Official Lyric Video)

Avicii’s classic “Wake Me Up.” It might be the most popular hype song in the world.

The track’s driving, fast-paced melody is striking—and that very sense of momentum actually works to your advantage.

Here’s why: vocals get harder the more space there is between phrases, because you have less room to cover up imperfections.

In “Wake Me Up,” there are no long sustained notes in any of the vocal parts.

That means you can hide a lot.

Even if you deliver the lines almost like you’re tossing them off, it can surprisingly still sound good.

Give it a try!

Shape of YouEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” became a massive hit worldwide and even won the Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.

It’s a song that achieved tremendous commercial success.

As anyone who knows the track will be aware, there’s no high vocal part; it’s sung in a whispery style throughout.

The English can be a bit tricky, but otherwise there aren’t any particularly difficult aspects.

However, since the song sits mostly in a lower register, people who struggle with low notes might need some practice.

Well, if you just lower the key, no problem at all.

Last ChristmasWham!

Wham! – Last Christmas (Official Video)

The song “Last Christmas” is popular in Japan too.

There are many Japanese artists who have covered it, right? There are probably various factors behind its success, but I think a major reason it became such a big hit in Japan is its simple, J-pop-like melody line.

The song really has the vibe of Japanese pop music.

That means it’s easy to sing even for Japanese people who are used to Japanese melodies.

The English isn’t too difficult, and there aren’t any high-pitched parts either, so I think it’s perfect for singing well at karaoke!

Marry YouBruno Mars

Marry You

Bruno Mars’s hit song “Marry You.” If you’re thinking, “No way I could ever sing that,” let’s be clear: it is tough (lol).

However, the difficulty isn’t in the vocals—it’s in the English pronunciation.

Since there actually aren’t that many different words in the lyrics, poor pronunciation makes it sound worse than it is.

The melody itself doesn’t have any high parts, and the rhythm is simple, so it’s pretty easy to sing.

In short, as long as you nail the pronunciation, it’s a song that naturally ends up sounding good.

Let It BeThe Beatles

The Beatles – Let It Be – Let It Be (STEREO REMASTERED)

The Beatles’ classic “Let It Be.” Doesn’t it feel like a song you could sing well? As that impression suggests, its melody is crafted to be very simple.

Even so, the chorus has an emotional feel, so it comes across as if you’re singing it well.

Of course, if your English pronunciation isn’t good, it can sound uncool, so be careful about that.

If you’ve never sung Western pop before, starting with this song is a good option.

We Will Rock YouQueen

Queen – We Will Rock You (Official Video)

Queen is a rock band that gained worldwide popularity.

If you’re thinking, “Huh? Queen? Isn’t that hard?”—don’t worry.

Their song We Will Rock You is actually pretty easy.

It might be hard to notice because of its powerful sound, but the song has a narrow vocal range.

In other words, you can sing it even if you can’t hit high notes.

If anything, you’ll need a technique called a ‘shout,’ which is sung with a raspy voice.

For men, shouting is relatively easy to pull off, so definitely give it a try!

Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC

*NSYNC – Bye Bye Bye (Official Video)

The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.

Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.

Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.

As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
