Songs that are easy to sing at karaoke even for people who think, “I might be tone-deaf...” or aren’t good at singing

“Maybe I’m tone-deaf...” Easy-to-sing karaoke songs even for people who aren’t good at singing (161–170)
OverdoseNatori
Overdose, Nat(s)ori’s signature song with an impressive languid vibe.
The piece maintains a downer mood throughout, so the high parts are intentionally kept restrained.
Falsetto does appear, but it’s not used because the notes are high; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice.
So if you’re not comfortable with falsetto, singing those parts in chest voice is totally fine.
Whispery vocals sound cool on this track, but overdoing it can come off as narcissistic, so keep that in mind when you sing (lol).
Platform 3yuzu
Yuzu’s 17th single, “Track 3,” released in 2003.
The melody line is very simple, it can be sung in a steady, understated way, and the pitch is on the lower side, making it an easy song to try even for those who find Yuzu’s songs difficult to sing.
It may be less well-known than some of their other tracks, but this song has other recommended points: there’s handclapping in the backing, so it’s easy for everyone to clap along and get excited at karaoke, and the song is under two minutes long—nice and short.
The lyrics, which many people working hard every day can relate to, are also appealing.
GO!!!FLOW
Let’s ride the momentum of the song and power through it! This track is by FLOW, a five-member rock band formed in 1998.
It was released in 2004 as their fourth single and became a hit after being selected as the opening theme for the anime Naruto.
Rather than focusing on singing it perfectly, prioritize the vibe—belt it out with a big voice! As long as you give it your all, the audience is sure to get fired up.
GandharaGodiego
A signature song by Godiego, active from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, released in October 1978.
It was produced as the ending theme song for the TV drama “Saiyuki,” starring Masaki Sakai.
The vocal melody doesn’t have extreme highs or lows, making it very easy to sing.
Compared to songs from later eras, melodies from that time were generally simpler, so even those who aren’t confident singers may find it easier to perform.
While the Japanese version introduced here is the one most people know, there is also an English version of the same song, so it might be fun to try practicing that as well!
I LOVE YOUYutaka Ozaki
This is a signature song by Yutaka Ozaki, an artist beloved for his husky, emotionally charged voice that speaks to listeners’ hearts and for songs that convey straightforward feelings.
It’s a ballad that describes a love that remains unchanged no matter what happens, and its slow tempo makes it easy to sing at karaoke.
Fukuwarai (a traditional Japanese “lucky laugh” face-making game)Yu Takahashi
This is one of Yu Takahashi’s signature songs, loved across generations for his powerful, heart-supporting vocals and emotionally charged performances.
It’s a track that expresses the importance of keeping a smile, and with its low pitch, it’s an easy number for anyone to sing.
Pure Love SongShonan no Kaze
It was a very popular song and has a rap section.
It’s a track where someone with a husky voice can really shine.
I’d love for you to sing it with a close friend.
Among love songs, it isn’t somber, so I think it can also be used when you confess your feelings.
