“I might be tone-deaf...” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs for those who aren’t confident at singing (131–140)
Stay 19 forever
This song portrays emotional currents that are more than just regret over the passing of one’s youthful school days.
It’s included on the 1986 album “J.
BOY.” The acoustic guitar tones and layered choruses emphasize a refreshing atmosphere and warmth.
The lightness of the vocals also seems to evoke a sense of youth, doesn’t it? The gentle tempo, which invites a slow look back on memories, makes it easy to sing—so try performing it while savoring those recollections.
La Palummellakururi
Quruli is a band with a downbeat musical style that has long been supported by hardcore music aficionados.
Even now, they keep releasing songs without changing their style.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is La Palummella.
It’s not a track that particularly emphasizes low frequencies, but because the overall range is narrow, you can make the low tones sound compelling as long as you match the key properly.
The pitch movement is gentle as well, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Don't cry, Glory Moon.Kazuyoshi Saito
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito has been active for many years, and he continues to release new songs without changing his style.
His latest track is “Naku na Glory Moon.” Although it’s crafted as a refreshing rock piece, its vocal range is quite narrow and is largely centered in the mid-to-low register throughout.
If you slightly lower the pitch and aim for a fuller tone at the start of each section, you can emphasize the depth and richness of your voice.
Give it a try as a reference.
Love Story Comes SuddenlyKazumasa Oda
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Tokyo Love Story.” The key is set a bit high for male singers, so lowering it by one or two semitones might make it easier to sing.
The tempo is slightly fast, and I think it’s a recommended song for people around their 40s and up.
As an ex-girlfriendMy Hair is Bad
“Moto Kanojo Toshite” is a track from the 2017 album mothers.
It’s a love song about getting fed up with someone who never takes you seriously and deciding to break up.
The upbeat rhythm and looping chorus perfectly match the breezy feel of the lyrics.
Among My Hair’s songs, the lower vocal range stands out here, making it approachable for singers with deeper voices.
Its short length—just over two minutes—also makes it an easy one to try.
Give it a go when you’re in a similar situation or just want to sing it out and feel refreshed!
turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 17th major-label single, released in April 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for Kirin’s “Hyoketsu.” Fukase, the vocalist of SEKAI NO OWARI, is a singer known for his boyish, high voice, so some listeners might recoil at first and think, “There’s no way I can sing something this high!” However, if you listen closely, you’ll find that the vocal melody doesn’t actually span a very wide range.
So please set aside any preconceptions and give it a try—you’ll likely find you can sing it quite casually, almost like humming along.
If you place the sound in your mouth as if you’re directing it toward the upper palate, you’ll enhance the higher overtones in your voice, bringing it closer to the feel of the original track.
Give it a try!
Come, spring.Yumi Matsutoya
This was Yumi Matsutoya’s 26th single, released in October 1994.
Chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama of the same name, it became a huge hit and a million seller.
The vocal melody stays within a range that most women can sing without strain.
However, because the melody is centered in the lower to mid range, if you sing it in a mumbling way, the song’s charm won’t come through.
Be sure to use a soft yet confident tone.
Since it’s a Yumi Matsutoya song with her distinctive voice and delivery, it could also be fun to enjoy it with a bit of impersonation!
