Songs Even People Who Think “I Might Be Tone-Deaf…” and Aren’t Good at Singing Can Easily Sing at Karaoke (91–100)
figure; appearance; form; shape;姿 (sugata) can mean a person’s figure/appearance, the shape/form of something, or a visible state/姿を見せる = to show oneselfAimyon
A masterpiece whose refined and calm musicality evokes the night, “Sugata.” In terms of genre, it’s an orthodox J-pop piece, and the vocal line is crafted simply to suit the Japanese vocal range.
While the melody is generally steady with few dramatic shifts, a slightly higher falsetto appears in the chorus, so take care there.
Singing higher is fine, but if the key is set too low, producing the falsetto becomes unnecessarily difficult.
Be sure to determine the appropriate key and sing accordingly.
Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
It’s a perfect song for beginners in both music and karaoke, since the drums, guitar, bass, and vocals are all easy to play, beat, and sing.
That’s exactly why it has remained beloved and continues to be passed down even long after its release.
Of course, the song itself is excellent too—its lyrics even influenced Green Day.
Emeraldback number
This is a song by back number that was also used as the theme for TBS’s Sunday drama “Dangerous Venus.” Basically, it’s a straightforward, upbeat track characteristic of a three-piece rock band—easy to understand and sing for anyone.
However, the challenging parts when singing it are the B-melody, where falsetto is used frequently, and the latter part of the chorus.
Being able to switch between different vocal techniques smoothly is a key point.
If you’re not comfortable with falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key.
peanut butterShota Araya
Shota Araya is a singer-songwriter whose originality-rich musical style—mixing Black music with contemporary J-POP—has earned him widespread popularity.
While he drew attention as the former vocalist of a popular band, his activities have prioritized music over popularity, and he has produced several notable songs.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for men with lower voices is Peanut Butter.
Although it has an R&B vibe, the vocal line is fairly steady and understated, and the song is arranged throughout in the low to low-mid range.
I did nothing for two hours.I won't forget
The band Wasureranneyo, known for their comical songs, has gained popularity.
While their outlandish lyrics leave a strong impression, the truth is their vocal lines are catchy and easy to sing.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is “I Did Nothing for Two Hours.” As the title suggests, it’s a song about regretting having done nothing for two hours, crafted in a punk rock style.
There’s some shouting in the track, but if you don’t sing it exactly like the original, it’s actually very easy to sing.
Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 19th single overall.
Released in February 2011.
It was the theme song for the 2011 film Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops—Angel Wings.
While it doesn’t feature particularly complex melodies and is a good choice even for those who aren’t confident singers, there’s a key change in the chorus, so be careful to keep your pitch steady there.
Aim for a soft, gentle vocal delivery throughout.
MoonlightMasahiro Kuwana
Tsuki no Akari, a Showa-era classic renowned as Masahiro Kuwana’s signature song, is a piece whose gentle moonlight illuminates the earth and begins to tell wonderful stories in people’s hearts.
It’s a beautiful ballad and a highly recommended karaoke choice that’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.
