“Maybe I’m tone-deaf…” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (121–130)
Our summer dreamTatsuro Yamashita
It was used as the ending theme in the movie Summer Wars.
Since it’s a simple song, even those who aren’t confident in singing will find it easy to try.
It would be great if you could sing the chorus with confidence.
I think singing it near the end at karaoke will really move people.
Sorrow like snow
This song portrays the warmth of people felt amid winter’s cold, evoking a brightness within poignancy.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni,” and has long been loved as one of Shogo Hamada’s definitive winter classics.
The powerful layering of the band and chorus strongly suggests a hopeful feeling of moving forward.
Its gently ranged melody and relaxed tempo make it easy to sing, so be sure to fully grasp the emotions embedded in the lyrics as you perform.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
WANIMA’s “Tomoni” is a popular number both as a friendship song and a motivational anthem.
Its instantly catchy melody and forward-looking lyrics are appealing, making it one of the band’s most beloved tracks.
Unlike their typically high-energy style, this song sits in a relatively lower vocal range, so even those who struggle with high notes will find it approachable.
The lyrics amplify a positive mindset, conveying a powerful message of facing adversity head-on.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to take a step forward—why not sing it as if you’re sending a message to a friend who’s feeling a bit down?
Until we meet againyuzu
This song, which was also used as an ending theme for Doraemon, is popular among children.
“Mata Aeru Hi Made” is characterized by simple, easy-to-understand lyrics, and in fact, its lyrics were collected from children and compiled by Yujin Kitagawa, which gives it a certain nostalgic and slightly bittersweet feel.
The track is packed with Yuzu’s signature charm, letting you fully enjoy their warm atmosphere and gentle melody.
Its approachable vocal range and clear melodic line make it easy for men to sing as well.
It’s also recommended if you’re looking for a song to sing together with kids.
“I might be tone-deaf...” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs for those who aren’t confident at singing (131–140)
BrownieJapanese rice bran
This is the third digital-only single by singer-songwriter Wanuka, released in June 2021.
True to the artist’s name (perhaps?), the melody and rhythm carry a distinctly Japanese flavor that leaves quite an impression.
The vocal melody is centered in a comfortable midrange that most people can sing, so range shouldn’t be a hurdle for karaoke.
To aim for a high score in karaoke, the key point is how well you can reproduce the song’s overall nonchalant vibe and its light, buoyant feel—without pushing the beat ahead.
The expressive demands aren’t particularly difficult, so study the original carefully and give it a try.
In the midst of the trivialGen Hoshino
It’s a love song that portrays the parts of a special person that feel especially dear, while wishing for the simple, everyday happiness—silliness and all—to continue.
It’s also noteworthy that this was released as Gen Hoshino’s first solo single.
Built around acoustic guitar, the simple arrangement makes the lyrics’ message stand out even more.
The vocal delivery has a quiet, storytelling feel, so rather than worrying too much about pitch, it might be best to focus on a gentle, narrative style.
Even when I become an old ladyChisato Moritaka
Chisato Moritaka’s 16th single, released in June 1992.
It was used as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Matta Nashi!” As you’d expect from Moritaka, who once used the phrase “Declaration of Non-Talent” as a catchphrase and album title, this track is bright and delightfully laid-back.
So when you sing it at karaoke, there’s no need for any complicated commentary! Just enjoy it with the same easygoing vibe as Moritaka.
In terms of vocal range, I don’t think anyone will find it tough to sing in the original key.
If there’s one tip, try to keep your voice as bright as possible.
