“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (141–150)
Reach to the heavensMasashi Sada
Ten Made Todoke is a classic whose beautiful guitar arpeggios and gentle vocals resonate soothingly.
This song, which depicts the meeting with a loved one in a refreshing way, is also highly popular as a choral piece and is performed by various choirs.
While it has a wide vocal range and the original key is on the high side, its relaxed tempo and simple rhythm mean it’s by no means difficult to sing.
To express the song’s calm, serene world with smooth vocals, it’s also recommended to adjust the key to a comfortable range for your voice.
SignalKazuyoshi Saito
Although it sings of lingering attachment to a finished romance and a farewell, the piece somehow feels refreshingly light.
“Signal” is a track from the 21st album, “55 STONES,” released in 2021.
The easy-on-the-ears band sound meshes beautifully with the lyrical world.
You can feel the sadness and loneliness, yet by the end it leaves you with a dry, clear aftertaste.
This holds true for many of Saito’s other songs as well, but since there are almost no parts that require belting, it’s very easy to sing.
Far, far awayNoriyuki Makihara
Even though it was never released as a single, one of Noriyuki Makihara’s most famous numbers is “Tōku Tōku” (“Far Away”).
It was first included on his 1992 album Kimi wa Boku no Takaramono and has since appeared on many best-of compilations.
In 2006, a newly recorded version was produced and used in an NTT East Japan commercial.
The lyrics, which capture the feelings of a protagonist striving far from home, really resonate.
The melody moves at a steady pace and is easy to sing, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to learn.
While some parts have slightly complex pitch lines that leap up and down, give it a try and sing it at karaoke!

By the time of the Christmas carolsJunichi Inagaki
This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, released in October 1992.
It’s such a classic among J-pop Christmas songs that it hardly needs any explanation! I doubt there’s anyone who hasn’t heard it.
In fact, as of December 2023, it remains Inagaki’s biggest hit.
Of course, the primary reason for its massive success is the song’s inherent appeal, but it’s also very karaoke-friendly, which has helped many people sing it over the years.
The melody is very easy to sing as well, so when you perform it, pay attention to how you handle each phrase—where to hold notes, where to cut them, and so on.
Secret Love of TearsRyudo Uzaki
This is Tears of Secret Love, a beautiful love song for adults, adorned with a gentle, sweet saxophone intro.
Written and composed by Ryudo Uzaki—famed for the smash hit Smokin’ Boogie—this timeless classic was released in December 1974.
It’s very easy to sing, making it approachable even for those who aren’t confident vocalists.
As a lovely ballad, it could be your secret trump card for karaoke.
TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS
For the generation that listened to this song, it’s a very nostalgic one.
The song itself is simple, but it’s got a really cool, energetic vibe, so I’d love for you to drop any hesitation and sing it like you own it.
As long as you bring the energy, it’ll hype everyone up even if you miss a few notes.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
It was released in 2002 as Kishidan’s major-label debut single.
It’s an upbeat tune with para-para-style choreography and a karaoke classic.
The groove is great and it’s a song everyone can get hyped to, so be sure to rope in the people around you, crank up the energy, and sing it out loud.
