Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke (Even If You Think You’re Tone-Deaf) — 81–90
If I sing to the sky175R
Punk and some melodic hardcore songs are very simple, and many of them are surprisingly easy to sing.
Their edgy vibe might feel a bit intimidating at first, but give them a listen.
They’re definitely worth trying at karaoke.
loveGen Hoshino
This is Japanese singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino’s 9th single, released in October 2016.
It was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu,” in which Hoshino himself appeared.
The song has a very familiar, straightforward melody, so I think it’s relatively approachable even for people who aren’t confident singers.
However, the original key is a bit high for a male voice, so please be careful with the key settings when singing it at karaoke!
cherrySpitz
Having released numerous wonderful songs and established a status high enough to be featured in music textbooks, Spitz’s tracks are all karaoke classics! This song might feel a bit high in key for some men, but its simple structure makes it easy to sing.
If you feel it doesn’t fit your vocal range, try lowering the key a little and give it a shot!
celeryMasayoshi Yamazaki
Celery is a song full of clarity and freshness.
It’s one of singer-songwriter Masayoshi Yamazaki’s signature tracks, released in September 1996.
The song is widely known because SMAP covered it and turned it into a major hit.
It’s easy to sing, so even those who tend to go off pitch can perform it nicely at karaoke with a bit of practice.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
The well-known air band Golden Bomber’s seventh single, released in October 2009.
It’s got such a strong Showa-era vibe that you might momentarily think it’s a cover of an old Showa pop song.
With a straightforward melody that fits Japanese lyrics really well, it’s an easy song to sing along to—even if you’re the type who says, “I’m tone-deaf.” Why not hype things up and have fun with the familiar choreography, too?
Like this tonightAimyon
Released in 2018, “Konya Kono Mama” was the much-anticipated follow-up single to “Marigold,” the song that propelled Aimyon to nationwide fame.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “We Can’t Become Beasts.” Centered around Aimyon’s signature light, rhythmic acoustic guitar backing, it has an approachable, classic 2000s J-pop feel that appeals to a wide audience.
While the vocal range is somewhat broad, the melody itself is straightforward without extreme jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing at karaoke and conducive to achieving high scores.
Songs Even People Who Think “I Might Be Tone-Deaf…” and Aren’t Good at Singing Can Easily Sing at Karaoke (91–100)
Listening to your dreams, I come up with ideas that make me laugh!Aimyon
Aimyong’s famous song “While Listening to Your Dream, I’ll Think of Something to Make You Smile!”—widely known as an insert song from the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Picture-World Story—features a melody that sits between J-pop and folk, giving the track an overall bright feel.
In contrast to that atmosphere, the vocal line is crafted to be somewhat impersonal and monotone.
Although the range is of moderate width, the monotony of the vocals makes it feel even narrower and easier to sing.
If you’re not confident about your vocal range, consider adding this song to your repertoire.
