“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (141–150)
AliensKirinji
It’s a superb hidden gem known to those in the know, with a stylish, mature vibe that feels wonderfully comfortable.
The gentle tempo makes it easy to sing overall, and the chorus has a striking melody that’s very pleasing.
The chorus sits a bit high, but I’d love for you to give it a try using your falsetto.
TravelingohashiTrio
This is a stylish cover of a Hikaru Utada classic, arranged in Ohashi Trio’s signature style.
Unlike the original, it’s been transposed to a key that’s easier for male singers.
The repeated melody in the chorus feels wonderfully pleasant, so be sure to try singing it at karaoke.
To youShonan no Kaze
Shonan no Kaze is a reggae group that has remained popular since the 2000s and is one of Japan’s most representative acts.
While they mainly release hard-hitting dancehall tracks, they’ve also put out songs closer to orthodox pop.
One of those is Kimi ni.
HAN-KUN’s naturally high voice is kept restrained, and the track as a whole is arranged as a gentle pop song, making the melody easy to catch and very singable even for people who struggle with pitch.
Definitely check it out.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
LUCKY TAPES is the solo project of Kai Takahashi, known for an impressive sound that blends elements of indie pop and R&B into J-pop.
Their soft, delicate tone is a hallmark, and they’ve been steadily gaining attention lately.
Among LUCKY TAPES’ songs, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” It’s not exactly a low-pitched song, but the overall range is narrow and the melodic movement is gentle, so if you set it to the right key, even men with lower voices can sing it without any trouble.
When love endsRin-ne
Rin-ne is a rapper who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
He’s not what you’d call a hardcore underground rapper; he’s an overground artist who often sings about love, and his pop sensibilities have made him especially popular among teenage girls.
His classic track “Koi ga Owareba” (When Love Ends) is captivating for its lyrics that portray the bittersweet side of romance and its delicate vocal lines.
Because the rap is mellow, melody plays a strong role, but all parts sit low and there aren’t any drastic pitch jumps, so teenage boys with lower voices should be able to handle it without trouble.
It’s also a big hit with girls, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
to wish; to hopesmall gift
The popular comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo.
The straight man, Soshina, is active in many areas—solo routines, YouTube, and more—and he’s also been making a big impact as an artist.
Among Soshina’s songs, the one I especially recommend is Kogu.
It has a strong punk rock flavor and a rough edge, but the vocal range is relatively narrow, and there aren’t any lines that require complex pitch movements.
It’s particularly recommended for men with low voices, especially those with a gravelly vocal quality.
for some reasonSaucy Dog
The song “Wakeatte,” a self-cover of a track originally provided to singer-songwriter Mirei Touyama, is included on the major 3rd mini-album “Lazy Sunday.” The bittersweet relationship with someone who remains at a delicate distance even after breaking up really tugs at your heart, doesn’t it? With its relaxed tempo and relatively low key for a Saucy Dog song, it might be easier to sing at karaoke.
However, since a higher key appears in the latter half of the chorus, if it’s difficult in your own range, try adjusting the key and give it a go.
