A roundup of easy-to-sing songs by Kobukuro. Tracks that even those who aren’t confident in singing can try (1–10)

GraduationKobukuro

The 2020 track “Sotsugyo” (Graduation), themed around graduation.

The coupling includes a choral version performed by the Suginami Children’s Choir, making it a perfect piece for chorus as well.

With its gentle, calm melody, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.

Not only for karaoke, but it’s also a song that’s easy for everyone to sing together at school events like graduation ceremonies and choral competitions.

Since there are no difficult melodic lines, try singing it with care, savoring each word and putting your heart into it.

heartKobukuro

The song “Kokoro” (“Heart”) is a number that gives you an opportunity to face your own heart.

Released in 2017, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “I’m Taking a Break at Work Now” (Chotto Ima Kara Shigoto Yamete Kuru), and the music video features NAOTO from EXILE and Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE.

The track unfolds at a relaxed pace, as if having a gentle conversation with your heart, making it easy to sing without rushing.

If the key feels a bit high, try lowering it a few steps so you can sing more comfortably and freely.

YOUKobukuro

“YOU” is filled with affection for a special someone.

It was released in 2001 as a double A-side single together with “miss you.” Because it has a shuffle rhythm, you might find parts of the beat a little tricky to catch, but as long as you listen closely to the original and ride the groove, you’ll be able to sing it enjoyably without any problem! Even if the rhythm feels difficult, the melody itself is easy to learn and sing.

The key isn’t very high either, so if higher keys are comfortable for you, sing it in the original key; if you have a lower voice, dropping it by one or two semitones will make it easier to sing.

SunKobukuro

The upbeat, refreshing summer song “Taiyo” (The Sun) was released in 2002 as a double A-side single together with “Negai no Uta” (Song of Wishes).

While the overall tempo is on the faster side, the spacing between words—except in the A verse—is relaxed enough that you won’t feel rushed singing it.

The rhythmic section in the A verse is built on similar melodic patterns, so once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy to sing.

Riding the groove and having fun is the key to performing this song well.

Give it a try not only at karaoke but also in the car or during leisure activities—it’s great for all kinds of situations.

Together foreverKobukuro

Kobukuro “Together for Eternity”
Together forever - Kobukuro

Eien ni Tomo ni, a song well-loved as a wedding classic, was released in 2004 as a double A-side single together with Million Films.

It was written by Kentaro Kobuchi for a friend’s wedding.

Its simple, easy-to-remember melody makes it very singable—even those who aren’t confident at karaoke will find it approachable! The harmony line isn’t very difficult either, so it could be great for two people to practice and perform as entertainment at a wedding.

Blue BirdKobukuro

Blue Bird warms the heart with its gentle love, sung over a refreshing melody.

Released in 2011, this song was used as the opening theme for the anime Bakuman.

While the melody itself is easy to get into, the key is a bit high, so if high keys are not your forte, I recommend lowering it a few steps to make it easier to sing.

However, since the song modulates multiple times, be careful about what the next notes will be when you change the key.

Aside from the key changes, the melody is relatively easy to remember and sing, so try listening to the original many times and practicing!

DOORKobukuro

“DOOR” is a song that gives you a gentle push to listen to your inner voice and take steady steps toward your dreams.

Released in 2004, it’s also included on the indie-era album “Root of my mind.” Because the melody is built from similar phrases throughout, it’s relatively easy to sing despite having a fair amount of dynamics.

With its strong, empowering feel, it’s a great recommendation for those who find delicate ballads challenging.
